The injury crisis looks worse than ever
Fucking typical. Should have been more than one and then they score their first chance from a City defensive error. This game is there for City still though. We just need to take it chances.
One attack one goal Everton. Why did we stand back and let the ball be played into our box, 3 players watching on, and why once again did we not defend the back post. Unbelievable defending.
I thought we were okay, up until the Everton equaliser. Disappointed that three of our players held back and allowed that cross to come in.
Pretty awful. We are so poor.
A long long season of pain looms.
Clueless, we could have easily lost the game. Only poor finishing by Everton at the end kept the game a draw.
Not good enough again.
What has happened to Foden? He has been dreadful this season. Not the only one though.
We just had to win this game yet we didn't look like it. Everton could and probably should have won it late into stoppage time.
Major, serious issues at the club.
We look like the proverbial rabbit in the headlights every time we face a team that breaks quickly from deep in their own half. We are slow, and no one picks up their men. Very fragile.
We were okay in terms of general play until we missed the penalty. Then we did nothing. We had the usual problems in both boxes. The last thing that you need in such circumstances is to fail to score penalties.
Scant consolation but at least we gained another point on the rags.

It might just be me getting annoyed, but watching our midfield not rush back and help out the defence is really frustrating. I'm convinced it's the CM positions that is the cause of our trouble

Or midfield is just too slow, past its pinnacle. You are also right that we just do not work as hard as previously to defend and win the ball back. It was a bit better yesterday but we cannot do it for 90 minutes without switching off. We switched off yesterday as the of our defenders encircled the Everton player who put the cross in for their goal, but all three stood back before two panicked too late and moved.
