the only thing I can think of was that he needed to use the other subs.

No. I was at SMS. City had three corners in the entire game. Did DCC win all of those?

So happy withe result. We will need to play better than that going forward though. I guess it was tough conditions and Everton didn't make it easy first half, getting very tight. Part from the result, some real positives to take away. JWP playing further forward is looking like a smart move from Jones. DCC looks sold. Lyanco had another very good game, especially at right back. Strange decision to move KWP there and Salisu to left back, but Salisu had a good second half (terrible first) so something worked. Jones to be praised for that decision? Some negatives. Diallo didn't effect the game. Nor did Ely. Thought AA was what was needed from the start. A Shane Long pest. Lavia mis-controlled a few times and gave the ball away in dangerous areas putting us under pressure. He's a good player, but he needs to be right on it as teams are not going to give him time. Gordon showed just how slow Perraud is. Got too tight and then got done like a kipper. Could have cost us. Have to say Alcaraz had a mare when he came on. Did he have the wrong boots? He was like a rabbit stuck in headlines, mis-controlling, falling over, stuttering...

we'd be a point better off, I guess.

He had a great game. He always seems to get his feet set right, so his clearances from whipped in crosses are never sliced. My one gripe is he doesn't seem to dominate defensive set pieces. I guess he cant be everywhere, but I don't see him winning many headers at corners.

you are welcome. Everton are shite. If you want to see hoof ball, that's the place to watch your football.

phew... absolutely brilliant. Not the performance perhaps, but the result is beautiful. I need a beer.

Alcaraz kills us. Diallo great foul.

che too slow to take the chance. Don't like seeing Gray v Salisu, but he did well there.

Great defending by DCC. Salisu unable to stay with the runner and DCC got him out of jail. Bright start from Alcaraz.

fraud of a player. Lets see what Alcaraz can do. Brilliant play by Che

Sums up Ely there. Great break opportunity, but his lack of pace means JWPs nice through ball comes to nothing.

DT, your mate Che set up the goal.

You've had a bit of a mare the LoSS as I said. Game is far from over. 😉

get in

he's been bloody everywhere. Sadly.

Fair points, but its not all Jones' fault. The players out there simply ain't doing it. Salisu has been shite, the two central midfielders have given the ball away far too often and yes, the front three selected haven't done enough ether. If we lose, Jone's will certainly deserve some stick for changing a winning side, and he will get it, but some of these players should be slated too.

I'm watch and I don't see that at all. Lyanco is playing right back. Its four at the back not five.

it's far from over. Everton are turd. If we can get our game going, we can easily get back in this.

chance set up by Edozie, with a lovely early pass.

Salisu has had a pretty poor half to say the least. He's not alone. The first touch of so many players has simply not been good enough. Need to wake up the lot of them.

Excellent press, and a great chance, but Edozie doesn't get in there. Everton are shit. Press harder, force them long, win the ball and go again. The front three need to get after them. Bust a gut.

JWP is so far forward, he's pretty much playing just off Che.

our central midfielders keep giving it away in terrible areas.

this. k'inell that's a good opportunity wasted.
