Way better performance than that disgrace at the Etihad ;-)

We haven't sorted set pieces out that's for sure.

Showed bottle and determination, but that ain't enough at this level. Squad still lacks quality, noticeable every time we get into the opposition half.
I think we have, the problem is Cooper is out and Struijk and Firpo are poor.

Losing Dallas and Cooper is massive for us. Two huge team players.

Against the best team in the EPL....and potentially Europe (we will see....im 100% behind them)....it was never going to be enough.
But imo it bodes well for our next fixtures....if we actually get some luck with squad selections. 👍

Was never gonna be a result tonight. They have been brave and played pretty well. My predictions always had Burnley and Everton winning this weekend and us losing, all is not lost yet. We do however need at least a point from Arsenal.

Think that late flurry sums it up
Marsch OUT

Football has undergone a process of bielsification; pressing and possessing, passing rather than dribbling, intercepting high up the field rather than making last-ditch tackles, are in vogue.

Good performance overall but ultimately lost 3 nil which is disappointing. Desperately need Everton to continue their bad form and try to pick anything up from the next two games

Poor from Meslier

One of those late chances would give us a lift but the keeper pulls off a great save

Just one of those games where every shot they have ends in a goal

We deserved so much better than this score line.

Not saying we should have won, but this score is not an accurate reflection of how the game went.
