#Everton #ManchesterCity

The ball kick there R Welsh and Eli Campbell have’ gone forward for Everton the corner first Defender he scrapping away passes though with him as well goal kick just a Sitting seing a few familiar faces around fin F tonight s your P being like this is your life for you tonight this isn’t it yeah maybe I just need that that that book that they used to give out with the pictures in but um like you

Say nice to see some familiar faces one or two for teammates from your time orever have you spoted one or two of those yeah there’s been a couple uh former teammates here that at various different age groups or levels and and then ultimately we’ve played throughout

The efl together a couple of us as well so good to see them again City from the back every Manchester City side plays the same way give the ball away like these young Lads have just done and the first attempt on goal is from the in Shaw mallister comfortable save for true

Grant would you have played against his dad Lee Grant in any point during your career he uh you played up and down the leagues I’m sure you you probably played against everyone who kicked the ball in the last 20 years hav you there a fair

Chance I have yeah no fly enough I have played with his dad played against him as well um so yeah he’s obviously uh watched his dad closely and uh following his footsteps now with the gloves on there he’s quite well thought of as well

Yeah I believe so I believe so so the in and around the first team pitcher as true grant Manchester City and uh a lot Manchester City are at the bottom of the Premier League too if you’ve got young players who are any were near their first team they must

Have something about they must definitely like you say if they’ve got young players that are in and around their first team and then we’ve seen a few just recently getting minutes or or opportunities in squads it’s great for them you know obviously at all clubs that’s the idea but um you know they’re

Obviously doing something right to be in and around their first team CH that b Kyle John that will be a foul car B it was offended by Kane Taylor decision for referee FR Barnsley takes the goal kick by Samuel B wins it for just sounding each other out in the opening

Exchanges Roman Dixon that’ll be a good contest over on that Far Side Joel and dar is quick for Manchester City Roman Dixon is absolute lightning for Everton so uh that’ll be that’ll be a keenly contested match up tonight Pete definitely one I’m intrigued to see you know when you have good promising young

Players coming up against each other know the the mindset and I’m thinking should be the you I want to get the better of you so be interesting to see how the evening goes with the two players over there four from Welsh chest the ball out of

Play start of a big big week for the Football Club 21 action tonight first team at Craven cotage tomorrow in a game in action on Saturday kickoff against Tottenham hotb nice turn by Avo chance for Manchester City tala inside the penalty area good covering back from H Jang

P best distribution but he did the hard bit does well that time Matti brings it Forward k kot runs down the middle to carries it for but just right out of legs and Kane Taylor got it back off and but it at least the blink of an I pick we were uh

80 or 90 yards up the pitch yeah as you say the initial defensive uh work from janat was fantastic got in helped out his fullback broke up play the initial pass was one that was given away but again he reacted ever so well won the ball back and and passed it through to

To matap who drove up the pitch and you know perhaps on another day he could have got a shot away T sooner or slid the the ball in for Shaw mallister it’s probably a night for triangle look from distance isn’t it definitely you know goalkeepers the ball bouncing in front

Of them skin off the surface it’s not uh you know it’s not an enviable uh position to be playing on an evening like this get bit heavier Samuel F just waitting them those it back to true grant to Simpson FY it’s a decent Ball but just too much

Pace on it if you want to play a long diagonal tonight of all nights Clark it’s got to be spotted it has you know if if that ball it’s the surface it’s going to skid and nine times at the 10 it’s going to go out of play unless it’s

Right on the money and and the hitting the player on the full C really give Callum B most of a chance with that Campbell Manchester City can counter and Manchester City can have go now bler Square to nicely by Roman Dixon joland dler gives away a free

Kick didn’t make the best of that did they no they could have uh had they worked it properly they could have got a shot on goal but as you mentioned before the battle on that far side is going to be an interesting one but just as the

Game’s starting to evolve there um you know the fullback overlap in galves um you know he’s going to cause a problem as as well if uh if you have Jan pett doesn’t recover back with him uh it could could leave Roman Dixon with one or two problems but up to this point

He’s been terrific in his his work diligently getting back and helping out have given the ball away again inside the on half the field and Roman Dixon just put the afterburners on to get goal side of jool and Dara dar’s forced away from goal slid it across the middle to

The young Scott Josh Ado sitting on the front foot here in the opening stages at FR far M Hamilton first team experience be it briefly for p Guardiola S no way through City he will have to start again K and Noble and Darin run Roman Dixon takes on

Dixon Dixon just nudges him off the ball that’ll be a goal kick for Everton and again when you make that sort of challenge you got to get that right don’t you you do you know when you get into the penalty area and you defend him one versus one it’s uh you know

Certainly not a night to be lunging in and making wild sliding challenges but stays on his feet gets him outside so he’s gone the longest route to goal and just leans on him just enough to put him off balance and the ball runs out of play really good defending in the end that

Bar to Eli cbell left footed slices a little bit D side of play on this near side last time out against the city sly by Stoke City by five goals to one and before that believe it or not Manchester City of 21’s entertain norch City at the very impressive EAD Academy

And nor City went back with a 6 nil Win here in the best of form to Manchester City there andala he’s going to do the outlet time and time again again Roman Dixon does well sticks to his task stops the cross from Young Finland International Thomas Galvez the number five for manester City and he is

A full International by the way he’s got a cutp the Caps already for Finland and once again Roman Dixon is a diligent enough yeah he’s been really diligent in his defending um like I mentioned just before the the the the two fullbacks the two wide players over on that far side

It’s a really interesting battle that’s going on over there um I think you know the longer the game wears on it’s going to become really key to how the the game progresses uh you know those call in and it’s a free header and it’s a very good

Save by Fraser Barnsley it was Lal Samuel who found space inside the penalty area power the head of gows and it was a very very good save by Fraser Barnsley is’s the replay Peter yeah good Corner uses the element mle Samuel gets up really well on the edge

Of the six-yard Box Powers the header doesn’t do much wrong does he no not a lot wrong and uh you know frasa barnley does well gets strong hands behind it and directs it away from the goal away from that danger area kick for City and it comes dealt with well by Ali

Campbell up by Jacob Wright it’s a clever pass and it’s a good pass as well to Kane Taylor Taylor slides in into the penalty area and Kyle J comes across to clear as lines but they’re just finding their feet a little bit here in Manchester City yeah Manchester City are

Just starting to take control of the the contest as it stands at this moment in time U building up a bit of pressure keeping Everton back in the the defensive third um just need to when we get the ball we just need to be a little

Bit more composed and keep it just a little bit better yeah galz toala again forced away from goal by Roman Dixon and J P stands his ground in front of endala Thomas galves got Rush challenge the referee thought about it didn’t he but Hal Jan p is

Penalized initial thought was he he got the ball but obviously the referee was far closer than we were but had the uh allow play to go on it was a a real opportunity for us to perhaps to to counter attack as Callum bites was going

To pick it up and was the wrong side of their Midfield drills the ball right to this near side to mik Hamilton Hamilton slides it to the edge of the penalty area well done defending really well there from the wrong side K we don’t want to see

Him back on the edge of his own defensive third it’s systematic the way the game is going at the moment maner City are asking the questions they one under the corner if you’ve got that number number nine on the back of your raw blue jersey

You are expected to put a shif in clock here as you know only too well of course of course you know anyone wearing a royal blue shirt needs to put in a a fantastic shift whenever the the they have the honor of wearing the shirt so it’s uh it’s nothing short of what’s

Expected um and he’s got to keep doing that you know the’re they’re certainly on top at this moment in time on Manchester City but got to weather that that storm that pressure and and do what we can when we’ve we’ got possession of the ball too deep that corner Samuel did his

Best to make something of it but something special to keep it alive from that position a go kick back to Barnsley K jum towards ising stops him on his track he feeds it back to Eli Campbell takes the safety option back to the goalkeeper of all the teams you played for Pete during your career and we were talking before Captain Reserve games friendlies and Internationals over

A thousand is Everton still one of the early results you look for when you come off the Park yeah of course it is know as I mentioned before I I owe an immense death of gratitude to this football club and the people involved with it um so of course it’s

You know it’s probably the first uh certainly if uh they they’ve played on a Saturday at the same time as myself it’s the first that I look for and I’m always hoping it’s a positive result yeah still playing piz Clark alongside me for warington town in the National League

North and as we as you and I have mentioned time and time again you have to to be the last player playing competitive senior football who was a teammate of Paul GCO um it’s not a bad label to have is it no no it’s one I’ll certainly take uh

What a privilege that was to play with you know someone so iconic as as Paul Gasco U yeah I’m not sure there’ll be too many that have played with him that are are still rolling out no not at all still fondly remembered from his days at bellfield Paul Gasco even you

Needed eyes in the back of your head at all times in the back you hadn’t the side you hadn’t everywhere to be honest with you yeah no certainly some interesting times since he have possession with gas Kane Taylor no Samuel Hamilton intercepted by mati abta going for City

16 and a half minutes of Play Gone just that one save thus far from faser Barnsley from a powerful H by ly samuela challenging back by Ja P again just put a shift in h p fantastic shift over on that side you know obviously why players have of

Undoubted ability with the ball but when you get someone putting in a shift like he is over there certainly as a full back and someone who’s playing in front of you it’s a it’s a real uh positive to have for for yourself for the team and and for the

Collective’s been stripped of quite a few goals this season when you think of L dobins been with the first team for most of it Tom K left the football club by Sims left the football club so it’s a it’s a collective responsib ability sha mallister is on

Five for the season not many other goals out there amongst the boys on Parade but as you said before as you reiterated clarky when when Senor players if you like at this level get bumped up got to see it as an opportunity to uh impose yourself and put yourself in Pate isine

Sloppy from the cball Manchester City won a penalty they’re not going to get one and he just lost his concentration moment Mily there didn’t they yeah I think the uh the replay let’s have a look wasn’t the best of balls from Kyle maybe I don’t think K knew that he was

There no I don’t think he I think Josh Adams he press and he Eli Campbell thinks he’s one side when actually he comes around the other and he turns into the the trouble um think they they’ve they’ve been given us penalties by K John get the L ball Tak

Right well pursued by Callum Bates B the two number sixes and right plays it back to true grant 18 minutes go mil Mill three points for everon Elevate the boys up to the uh mid division of Premier League two different format this season it’s not the most straightforward of formats 26 teams in

The league Here Comes City again it’s a good ball it’s a good take as well by Center forward he works his way into the penalty area comes off the post and it’s scrambled into the back of the net and Manchester City have taken the lead good work by Justin to get

Inside the penalty area and Manchester City with 19 and A2 minutes on the clock have scramble their way ahead Peter yeah as you see cuts inside Barnsley makes a good save with his feet comes back unfortunately off the inside of the post and then it’s almost a freefor all and

It’s very difficult for the defender going back to be able to clear that away um when a Defender you’re facing your own goal Tacker can just slide in and and get any sort of touch on it it’s in the back of the net Kane Taylor it was who scored

The goal just say Fraser B more than a little unfortunate there made a decent block on it once it bounced off the inside of the post could have gone anywhere Kane Taylor reacted quicker than anybody else and he’s forced it over the line Everton Trail by go to n here At kick show Good Feet with three players around him but again we’d like I’d like to see him doing his his work further up the p hasn’t been involved has he yet sh no no not the minute um unfortunately you know City have had most of the ball pushed us back um but

You know now goal change games um maybe you know releases the shackles off the players and we might play a little more freely like I said I prefer to see sha Maller in their final third than than back around the halfway line inside the penalty area AP takes deflection and

It’s a corner kick nice positive response from abberton yeah great response from them going behind um you know a good little uh show of strength in their in their character he can be so effective Roman Dixon when he opens his legs and Sprints forward like that joins

In the attack because if he if he if he does put the afterburners on they’re not keeping up with him no he uh he played in a a youth Cup game uh going back that I watched uh and he was a stand out performer so like you say if he can if

He can get a overlock in his wide player and put the after burners on it’s it’s a real asset for the team twisting and turning turn ESC from Josh Adam K Taylor the Manchester City goal scorer bring it away two chances at the back Manchester City good

Play samsony it’s one of those it’s good play at the end of it but had he lost the ball he’d have been in a bit of trouble wouldn’t he yeah he lost it there in his own penalty area have been a bit of a pickle here they come again across the penalty

Area wasn’t far away making it two they have got their tals at Manchester City they only won one game in Premier League 2 this season that was 4-0 way at Newcastle but they are certainly in the ascendency here Everton have got to try to get a grip of this

Game yeah like you said they’re in the ascendancy but it’s it’s an opportunity now for the players to to uh try and impose themselves on it and not let the game get away from them so shows what you made of time isn’t it of course it

Is it’s uh you know when things are perhaps going against you a little bit there’s that little bit of adversity it’s where you know people show their true character um you know that’s something I’m sure you know Paul Tate and Keith Southern are looking for with their Players back toza barsley to barsley again Keith were here at the same time weren’t you we were for sure D and we were here together we played in the youth team together the reserves we went on M to Blackpool together uh we played at Huddersfield together so our pass have crossed at

Various points through the course of time he’s doing a smashing job as well here alongside p t yeah brilliant and the fact fantastic fantastic guy as well Keith yes he is yeah football man he is for sure the making of a decent eff move there down the right hand side just

Couldn’t get the ball into the danger zone but it’s a throw in for Everton past the Midway point in the first half G These are playing with a bit of confidence now aren’t they they are definitely um you know at the same time though Dar I don’t want to see the the Everton players giv too much respect um you know some good players and I’m looking for them to impose themselves on the

Manchester City players here they come again Kane Taylor attacking with pace through the Midfield earlier and sets off on that left down side Roman Dixon stands his ground do brings it in Goes Down Under The Challenge of R welshon well I’m sure if we have V are they’d be

Uh they’d be scrutinizing that pretty closely but referee tonight let it go we won’t be any trouble it look happy yeah uh I’m hopeful we’ll get a a replay of it it’s obviously not V but get a replay of it and we can can give our

Opinion on it uh again it’s one of those that you see given and sometimes not given yeah big difference isn’t it games like this so when there’s 50,000 people screaming for it yeah certainly is a huge difference throwing for manester City on this near

Side not that was there no he go he goes down very easily uh there’s minimal contact and to be fair ree Welsh is just carrying on his run um unfortunately you know he goes down Joel and Dara very very easily he’s done something he’s falling on his hand or on his his arm

Yeah he still looks like he’s struggling a little bit Ginger there on the far side Noble to uh mandala looks a lot better with the ball of his feet and he did 20 seconds ago without it yeah miraculously that that arm looks better now dar s puy the

City P to K fi to M A he chance to run full back off the first time looks to switch the play an ambitious ball it’s nowhere near h j patter yeah you know just look a bit Scrappy don’t we at the moment a little

Bit Daren yeah I mean he he has the ball he cuts inside and and Kyle John he made an underlapping run really really well and he if he was able to get the ball to him he was three um getting into their final third I just you know sometimes

That decision making is um you know been a little bit Wayward should we sayon nil Manchester City one frch fall Premier League two it back to true grant oh ambitious that Shaw mallister well he looked up you could see what he was trying to do that it was a clever

Effort because the keeper was a yard or two off his line no tried to thread it through the Iva needle de little bit of play a little bit of improvisation from Sha MC it was it was um I think true granted realize what was perhaps happening and got back back to

To uh nullify the threat well enough here at the Finish f can’t get it off Kane Taylor Dara picks it up again rolls out of play was trying to keep it in on this near side be throw in for GA that K from iny B play the first

45 minutes so you may well see Charlie wher was also easing his way back after a long long injury layoff great to see him involved again Charlie Adam over the pass always good when players have been out to see getting back on the pitch and get minutes Again by Kyle joh Kyle does enough to frustrate the scotman who gives away a free kick he’s been out for over a year Charlie so it’s going to take him good few games to get back into the groove isn’t it yeah when a player any player Young player or more season player has

Been out for that length of time it’s taken like you say good few games to get back into the swing of things um it’s only really when he get into the game so you kind of get that sharpness as much as you you can train and and have to

Work load it’s that that sharpness of the game that’s imperative to a player John P Roman Dixon free on the right hand side but John P when he tries to get the ball out from under his feet to play the pass I think but he’s won a

Free kick in a good position for Everton on the edge of the penalty area and this probably represents our best chance so far to put a bit of pressure on true grant yeah definitely he uh he received the ball ever so well got his body in

Front of Kane Taylor um drew the foul and and like you say this presents a really really good opportunity for us to to test the the goalkeeper true Grand sh mallis I’m sure will go for goal and it is theonis is on the other boys in R of blue to follow it

Up yeah I think it’s uh pretty certain that sh mall is going to yeah he’s going to take the flee kick and I would imagine that this is definitely going to be a shot on goal just uh you know when you get an opportunity like this you

Don’t don’t want to waste it you want to make the goalkeeper work just after half an hour Finch F Shaw McAllister with his right foot through the wall wide of the mark shame that it’s always a sign when when the two Center halfes don’t go forward you know full well the kick is

Going to go for goal and Shan mallister has be racing himself there he will feel that uh he could have done a little bit better there yeah you know a player with his ability like I say I’d love to have seen him work in the goalkeeper can

Surely hit the target hit the that that’s in a not isn’t it hit the target certainly on my M like this D where if it bounces in front of the goalkeeper might come back off him and gives someone following in an opportunity to to perhaps get a a tap in there’s gz

Tracking back again from John P that be a corner kick for Manchester City yeah it’s a really interesting battle over that side of the pitch with the the the two fullbacks and the two wide players um be honest with you though I’d love to

See J P the other end of the pitch cing the uh the Manchester City fall back more of a problem managed to do that have we no so far not yet not yet his workout of possession has been brilliant really diligent but like I say I’d much

Prefer to see him attacking and causing his fullback problems corner kick Manchester City 32 minutes on the clock of Finch F City here leading by goal to nil in comes the corner that’s on the way Away by Campbell F goward by Samuel and a chance for to counter here C’s

Going to try the full back for Pace but Simpson had a head start and used that head start to his advantage and safely gots it back to True gr but you could see what Cassie was trying to do there yeah you could for sure I mean where the

Ball breaks too um why not have a run getting a foot race with him and he had virtually half a pitch to run into so it was an opportunity to do that but as you say there Simpson puu did very very well and and match the the run and recycle

The ball back to his goalkeeper be a free kick for Manchester City to watb by the way lead Premier League 2 this season played 11 w 11 great first half of the campaign for them K Taylor to andala Here We Go Again D versus Dixon D B of footwork Dixon again sticks to his task and again j p is there to help out makes such a difference to a fullback doesn’t it when you know the

Player in front of you is going to put a shift in like how it is tonight definitely a huge difference you know he uh he stops him going on the outside Roman Dixon gets him back inside and there he is he then turns back into the

Recover him wide player JN P who as I said before he’s been really diligent in his defensive work Hook from Roman Dixon be throw in for Manchester City Simpson fory to Grunt no take one shs too many k oh he just couldn’t find the blue jersey that was an opportunity Manchester City messing the again just make the best of it no not quite it’s that final little bit of care that final pass um like you say we’ve not just seen enough care with

That um to really punish Manchester City there’s been opportunities and they’ve given the ball away in their own defensive third um you know so that’s something that Paul T and Keith Southern can take real heart from um but I’m sure it’s something that they’ll be telling

The players to to be aware of and perhaps take a little bit more care with after the break still very much alive this game don’t worry about that by go over 10 minutes ago at the end of the first half but Fraser Barnsley has been beaten once

He’s made a good save but by and large hasn’t been overly but there’s Dixon running forward backwards for D takes it off it brings it in field nice little Nick in from mat after that a great Challenge from after to in the second ball as well a good oldfashioned challenge that got

The not of approval from Peter CL that’s for sure thunderous tackle like you say dar sometimes a really strong tackle can can Galvanize a team and a group of people that’s in front of 40,000 people that on their feet now aren’t they of course they are they’re giving it

They’re cheering they’re clapping it it’s something they celebrating part nothing better than a thunderous tackle he goes again after Thomas Gas back again better from Everton was bakes with a challenge Shan malles has gone down inside the center circle set he press on regardless with Kane Taylor and Dara Jacob Ry he winding himself up for a shot there Josh ad Hamilton patient from Manchester City Justin abadoo ends the move with a

Shot to the side n and the the Finish didn’t really match the intricacy of the buildup play he got himself in a decent enough position and that the the Finish was almost a little bit wild in comparison to the the neat buildup play that had gone before it

Goal kick Everton Shan mallister out of your picture thankfully back on his feet think he just fell awkwardly a few spills this evening in this atrocious conditions wait ni turn has himself a bit of space brings it towards k s was p f field to k w to Heath C

Sprinting forward in support Heath brings it in field can’t get a shot on goal the free kick for rton and another very promising situation yeah it is he’s uh as he’s got a free kick in a really promising position um but nice again to see Kyle John overlapping down that left

Side causing problems for the Defenders whether they stay with the ball or do they go with the runner um the quick r two fullbacks aren’t they Kyle and Roman Dixon they are they cover the ground really quickly um you know and I’d like to see a little bit more linkup play

Perhaps between Isaac Heath and Kyle John um and see what the you know if we can get some end product and you know if you get behind their their their Defenders and and fiz the ball between the goalkeeper and the Defenders gives an opportunity they could slide one in

Their own goal or or one of our forward players gets a TA in there a Breaking play because as you can see there the Manchester City goal scorer King Taylor is requiring some treatment from the Manchester City medical staff I didn’t quite see what happened I was following

The ball in this left hand side I don’t know whether those were coming together and Kane Taylor came off second best but the other players have come over for a drink break here’s the big play here oh yeah it was a coming together it was Hal

J p and uh hopefully he’s just winded which can happen in those challenges it certainly can Dar um you know it was like he had to brick wall when he ran into J PL um didn’t really give him a second thought no he’s come off second

Best Kane Taylor big loud H jum patter big strong boy thankfully Kane Taylor back on his feet the EV staff leave the comfort of the dogout out into the element and you can see there on your picture just how heavy the rain is and it’s been incessant here in hailwood all

Afternoon another chance for ever to hopefully Peter at least hit the target let’s work the goalkeeper yeah definitely with just over 5 minutes until half time be great to to test the goalkeeper out uh you know perhaps in an ideal situation get it to skit up off

The turf and cause him an issue um but like you say there D we’ve really got to make the goalkeeper work Shan mallister looks like he’s going to go for again cell re Welsh have stayed back mallister fizzed his first one past the G’s right hand post the angle is

Different this time it’s from the left hand side as you can see measuring it up sha mallister deliberate run up is this the moment for Everton less than 5 minutes plus out of time to go at the end of the first half City leading by goal to nil

This time having been a little bit too wide sha McAllister is a little bit too high and again a bit of a disappointment with that it is it’s not an easy skill is it but it’s not an easy skill D you spot on um you know we look at those

Players that can take free kicks or have taken free kicks Beckham James Ward prow L Baines of course L Baines he’s a standout individual it’s uh it’s not something that’s an easy skill no not at all like I say I’d love them to to have worked the goalkeeper more than than we them

With the two opportunities we’ve had from dead ball situations Campbell Fraser Barnsley nearly sold like short to to good play from Everton in the end need a good forward run and he had to check his run referee checks the lines but he’s still on side have moved the ball nicely up this left hand side P into the box and it’s hacked away it

Be a throwing for Everton and from the position we were in inside our own penalty Fraser BS the nearly sold I show done really well to get the pit Eli cell showed great composure calmness on the ball uh might say some really good intricate Play Between the The Lads down this left hand

Side the balls away early doors like Campbell but he grown into the game and he showing just what a good player he is he’s been so consistent this season he’s played yeah you know players can give passes away but it’s how they react Dar as well and that shows a a

Maturity and a strength of character to say yeah give me the ball again I’m I’m prepared to make another mistake but he hasn’t done since then he’s he’s pick good passes he’s done his work really really diligently uh and that’s a that’s a great attribute to have and to to see

In a young player Al Bates threads it through Roman Dixon if anyone can catch it it’ll be him somehow manages to get there so he gets a second B to the Cherry and he just let the ball roll out of play be a corner kick as quick a player as I’ve ever seen

At this football club at any level he certainly so it’s an asset you’ve got to have now is it Pace pace is a massive asset in the modern day game D um something I was never blessed with but it’s uh you know certainly something that if you have and utilize

It is pass the first few yards are always in your head though that you could read the game well you which is another massive asset to maybe so um you know you learn different ways um you also you got to maybe make the get the fight on your own terms and the

Foot race would never be top of my L of priorities but you learn other other ways and other ways to stop them you do you do but uh Ron Dixon it’s a fantastic asset for for a young player to have and it’s great to see him using

It there’s Noble for Manchester City we Edge towards the 45th minute gal breaks forward now he looked a little bit offside there to me and the linesman on this near side concurs and raises his flank and it it can be so difficult for the assistant referees with the pace of the game these

Days to keep up with play don’t it definitely like you like you say the the the pace of the game um it can be very very difficult for officials to keep up with play um and also make the correct decisions uh it’s not an enviable task they do get

Some stick yeah um you know it’s uh I think he looking from what I I could see I think he’s made the right decision there right to we have three minutes of added time at the end of the first half three minutes of Time Back picks it up not like a good old fashioned similar to the one that was on Domin L scored their opening goal in the cut on satday that one either sometimes like I said we mentioned the officials there and they do have a difficult task but sometimes

The uh Miss are almost clear as day y especially when it’s over as you mention it good to the AR the goalkeeper not been a good season for V has it but you glad you’re not operating with v well I don’t know I’ll how do I say it’s

A relief I think for myself um well um you know you you were I think people were hoping it would clear up some of the indanes that we sometimes saw but I’m not sure it necessarily has I think it’s possibly added more confusion at times I think most fans would vote to

Rid the game of V don’t you yeah just go back to human eror least you could celebrate the goals it’s been refreshing to see the odd FA Cup tie that hasn’t been governed by va’ had minut off of the added three look like Aon will go in a single goal in AAS Kane

Taylor the goal scor Swit play there from Eli to uh Eli Campbell out to the left hand side unfortunately just misc controlled and Manchester City are now back on the Counterattack as always we have some videos for you to watch at halim so I’m going to put the kettle on do it

Quickly because we’ll show you the highlight to the first half thus far then we’ll bring you a few clips from Shawn D’s pre-match press conference which he conducted at Finch Farm in the media site just this afternoon of tomorrow’s Premier League game against fer and we bring you as we often

Do here an update from our new stadium site so plenty to keep you occupied during the halftime break be going in for war cup of coffee that’s for sure saon can pull something out the house in the last 30 seconds it will be set to go

In at the break the goal to the good looking for their second in the 21 Premier League two victory of the Season lost just one in the last seven dar it’s the most bace he’s had in this first half again J is equal to it B Roman Dixon

Samuel John wins it Isa he picks it up John runs into Samuel and the referee blows the halftime whistle Everton Trail by go to nil but uh this game still very much alive for the blues here Peter Clark definitely um yes Manchester City in the lead but it’s a really open

Contest the first part of it City definitely edged but since then everon have come back into it and we really starting to uh make inroads not as many opportunities on the goal as we perhaps quite have liked but we are starting to uh you know have a a bigger impact on it

Than we were in the first 15 minutes or so first half highlights are come we got for you so is sha D’s pre-match press conference for the first team game against fham tomorrow and another update from our new stadium we’ll be back in around about 13 minutes time at halim

Here at Finch F the ever trailing complex in Everton nil Manchester City 1 all your Sean you’ve not got long to get ready for your next game is that a good thing or a bad thing now uh good in the sense that you you’re back on it um the mindset changes

Quickly um a roll call Sunday and then moving forward and getting the team prepped again um so we won you know we want the team to be ready and and raring to go they know the fixed your list the challenge of it is when you got so many injuries that obviously challenges it

Because you know recovery Time Fitness availability etc etc seems an awful long time since Fulham came here start the season back in August um what have you learned about them this season well I think they had a slower start this season CU I thought we were excellent

Against them they got a result I thought we played very well against them in the cup here and they got a result which is no ideal obviously um I think they’ve grown into the season I think they’ve found a bit more um U balance to how they play and how their manager I

Imagine wants them to play um so I think they’ they’ve grown into the season basically so they definitely I mean they they’ve generally got a good home record never easy going away in the Premier League anyway but our our way record sorry strong so we want to go down there

And and whatever team we can put together that we want a team that can win a game and I believe in all these players regardless of injuries from a man management point of view having having lost at home in the Cup tonight how difficult to job have you got to

Raise spirits and and sort them out mentally that was a different ball game I think um the cups a different mentality anyway what I said it in the last round it’s you can feel in the crowd as well it’s a different feel to the CBS and it’s no one’s fault it’s

Just is the Players feel different it’s not the Premier League it’s a different Buzz about it it’s a different feel about it obviously the latter stages it grows in its intensity it belief but there’s a different feel to it so I think the players will be naturally

Responding differently I want them to of course on Tuesday night um when we play at Fulham thank you Stuart got St sure we mentioned earlier on there that um Tuesday is going to be your oneye anniversary in charge I just wonder the the multiple challenges that you have faced have you actually

Improved as a manager in that time because of those challenges well do you know what you you feel you have but doesn’t matter in football it’s only matter what you think and what the fans think it doesn’t really matter about me you know the truth of any Management in

Football that is is the way that I think I’ve worked with what we’ve had to try and deal with I’ve been pleased with that for me as an individual and internally I know the work that’s been done but ex certainly no one actually cares fans just want you to win a game

Not bothered about the finance you’re not bothered about 10 points that just win some games mate that’s it end the story and you’re the same so internally yes I’ve been happy with what I’ve done and yes some of the stuff that I’ve learned about this this club about

Myself and dealing with things and how handle things but externally I’m well aware after a lifetime in football no one cares people just say win a game mate end the story that’s where it ends and that’s my mentality you have to win to succeed so today I’m disappointed

It’s simple as that do you think that the team or the squad if you like are in a better place now than what you found when you walked in there year well we we were debating this um a couple of weeks go about the 10 points have you had the

10 points on then factually yes so and I think the feel of the team yes and I think the energy and the commitment and the cause and all that yes quality generally yes I think um flexibility of the side to try and find him as a win

Yes so a lot of good markers but when the 10 points is not there of course people go well you know no one tells a story really and Riley said why you can’t keep Haring on about it I don’t like uping on about it facts are facts we’re one point outside of the

Relegation Zone that’s the facts so let’s get on with the facts but of course at the back of your mind you’ve got that nagging out you go have we moved forward yeah I think we have as a team and as a club we have in different ways but the

Facts still remain the same that’s where the table says we are you touched on the good away record as well I think it’s the sixth best away record in the Premier League is it do you look at that and wonder why it is comp uh no not particularly it needed changing so we

Did some subtle changes not radical changes but it needed changing that’s quite obvious the last couple of scas a lot of noise when I got about the a lot of noise about a lot of things by the way a away record being one of a list of about 20 um

That we tried to to solve um we have somewhat um then finding the balance with the home form and getting wins at home I think the performance time have actually been better often than the AA record at the performances but we didn’t get the results particularly early

Season you know it’s some way you got a Fine Results home or away you want both to be right quite obviously but we have adapted the away form and got stronger just one for me Sean do you have um any knowledge the extent of Andre injury yes yeah it’s a a calf um

It’s not going to be fit this week um it’s going to be a matter of time we don’t know how long yet um but it’s definitely a cal injury and he’s had a couple of them over the last few months and been very difficult and it’s it’s a

It’s a a loss to us because I think you’ve seen he was showing he wants to adapt to what we’re doing and play for us and he scored a great free kick and look sharp as he was getting fitter and then he gets injured again so it’s

Really for St for him and for stting for us [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] o [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] l [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] he [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] Yeah Oh my God I’m on one more see for no say for for for okay e welcome back to Finch F where I’m delighted to say the rain stopped for the first time today and Everton have got 45 minutes to turn this around and Peter Clark alongside me on the evidence

Of the first half EV are more than capable of turning things around yeah definitely Darren they’ve uh like I mentioned before they didn’t have the best of starts of the game City controled probably the first 15 20 minutes of it but they’ve uh they’ve grown into the game and and like you say

They’ve got the wherewith all to uh get back into the game um nice fast start from him in this second half would be fantastic to see K still out there reason the plan wi out 45 minutes but they’re going to give him another quarter of an hour or

So City through Jacob right on the first attack second period good looking as they often did in the first half for 17y old whis K Joel and dar on the left hand side going be goal kick for towards Ki headed Away by Noble tozi ja goes back to Noble again here’s

The Finland International to galves see on your screen just how open it is here at Finch F we’re sitting in the one of two small stands on this near side R Dixon stopped in his tracks but he gets up bites back a strong challenge comes in from

Mattia who says he got the ball but uh possibly just a little bit overzealous on Joel andala refere given a free kick and uh our views obscured by The Dugout Peter would it did look as if there was a little bit of an element of a lunge in

There for a matter I mean possibly a foul but I don’t see that that’s a a cautionable offense no um all I mean yes it’s a contact sport it’s yeah it’s changed hasn’t it but if anything yeah if anything it’s slightly misted yeah it’s a foul as you say but

Is it a yellow card I don’t think so but there you go the games are changing pza the games are changing there comes K Noble from City he offloads it to right in the middle of the played for City in the Champions League he scored for City in the

Champions League it’s a good ball out andala the left side of the penalty area play to aim up as well baits under control and he got his pocket picked Josh alamon forced further W than he would have liked eventually K John sorted out for Everton he is Again throw in for Everton ni to get an early goal wouldn’t then have a right good go with them for large parts of the second half yeah like I said just after the the game started again in the second half or PRI to it be

Great to get a good start of the half put City on the back foot and then uh really be able to take the game to them J P tries to f probably was never on Taylor who also scored the Manchester City goal the recent five1 defeat against Stoke

City eff on goal tonight seems to be counting for a lot more thus far good ball from Simpson pzi to endala by Jun P think his feet were just too quick for J patter on that occasion yeah yeah he just run footed in very very quick feet

UHA um wrong footed him and you know I think there was obviously contact there kind a fou but uh you know nothing more than that needed c not pushing everybody forward as you can see there on your screen they’re help in around we have a penalty which would suggest that uh either Jacob

Wright or Kane Taylor fancy this jacob Wright made his debut for the first team earlier this season in the FA Cup win against hfield Town looks like he’s sizing this up to try and test Fraser Barnsley never going to trouble Fraser Barnsley goal kick Everton and uh free

Kicks up been a little bit substandard tonight CL AR they yeah you could say that Darren and and maybe it’s the exuberance of Youth they they want them to fly in the top Corner yeah yeah and just hit the target hit the target maybe with the element of experience um hit

The turf in front of the goalkeeper make make him make him work cause him a problem might have problems here with bada as well to rain possession last season well top goal scorer keeps in does well to find Sha mallister has a heat breaking on that Far Side the only

Option he picks it up michaeli as you can see is on for City K John joining in the attacks which he likes to do but he doesn’t play a good ball to show mallister bit of a hospital ball that from Kyle he Mis controls it as a throwing for

Manchester City not Kyle J’s best 15 seconds of the Season no as we mentioned a little bit before um that final pass that little bit of care when they get into those Advanced areas could certainly U benefit them uh you know they they just got to take extra little

Bit of care look after the ball give them a give the teammate a pass that they would want to receive Goes in strongly on K John towards but gal’s got their first but now here’s Roman Dixon with a chance to spread forward down this right hand side placs it in field towards Shaw mallister nice footwork from Shaw mallister Dixon wants it back after offloads it Dixon

Picks it up just on side back to after again pus on the cross interception for wonder whether Roman Dixon could have crossed that ball on the Run put it in first time and uh it given kute the opportunity to to perhaps get across his Mark and get an attempt on goal we need

To start asking more questions don’t we City reard I think you’re right Darren uh a lot the the stuff been some good stuff has been played primarily in front of them yeah um you know can we get him behind them can we cross it in between the goalkeeper and the Defenders here’s

A chance yeah Callister P turn by J P Che back inside to Cas k a great deal to a inside the penalty area in furnace after breaks into the penalty area shoots for goal Direction but not the power but at least it’s an attempt on goal Clark it

Is it is there’s been some positive play uh certainly in the last 30 seconds or so within their half with in their final third uh was like to see one or two more bodies getting into the penalty area um but there’s there’s positive SS true grant justed down by Ardo ever have

It back sha mallister been on the ball a bit early stages in the second half and he drives into the penalty mallister shoots with his left foot and finds the back of the net and it’s a terrific goal from Shaw mallister made by himself taken by

Himself his sixth goal of the Season an 8 and 1 half minutes into the second period the young tough is a level Everton won Manchester City won and that is a young man banging for for yeah as we mentioned they started the half well they’ve now got the goal that they they

Wanted they deserved some really good play here from Shaw mallister I think isn’t it yeah it is he receives the ball between three or four players drifts away from a couple H isolates one and shoots early yeah I I’m really pleased to see that people shooting early catches Defenders off guard goes through

The players legs catch better pardon has the keeper got to do better possibly possibly he’s unsighted cuz it goes through the the defender’s legs I mean uh you know going back one of the best taking opportunities early Romario Brazil Barcelona that top pooke if it’s good enough for an individual like him

Yeah it’s uh certainly something that other players can use the yak was the same yakubu he just take it nice and early and yakuba very rarely blasted the ball in the back of the net he passed the ball into the back of the net it was

A joy to watch even in trainer oh he was caressed it firmly lots of side foots knew exactly where it was going but he had that ability to put that extra bit of power on the other his side foot as well now then bringing the tail Here

Comes Kyle John gets up the pitch here’s CIO kayate s comes across kayate slides it forward to is oh he was a little bit unfortunate there meant to take that touch and they have took the ball away from it better again yeah definitely SE mallister has just gone

Down gone down again yeah it’s the last thing we want is H anything to him as I said earlier he hasn’t had much luck it wasn’t for bad luck he they had no luck at all the last couple of years he’s in the uh best form of his Everton

Career and uh he certainly took his goal really well it was all of his own making there you go back on his feet he going have to come off of course cuz he’s been test in fact he is going to come off there you go there’s the sign and Shawn

Mallister C A rather fullone figure as he walks off the pitch and uh don’t like the look of that p no he’s uh he’s not a happy character as he physio goes on tends to him and the decisions made very very early to to substitute him and like

You say not not good to see um you know he’s he’s played well this season uh the majority of good things that have come from from those in royal blue has has come through him hope he comes and he’s just speaking to the medical people on this near side

And I’m hoping that that is just a precaution he’s still at the stage where they’re treating with a bit of kid gloves because of the injury problems he’s had and he’s done smashing again tonight and we wish him well but uh one man’s Misfortune as another man’s opportunity and Harrison Armstrong is on

There he is on the ball young man who will be very to please definitely like you say it’s an opportunity for them um and you know so you know time where he can can go on and express himself and hopefully he can impose himself on the game as soon as possible yeah I

Can’t bites little bit too congested d as well to car Samuel he by the is the son of the late Jay Lloyd Samuel played for Bolton and Austin Villa lost his life in tragic circumstances it’s great to see mle Samuel carrying on the family tredition being very very good footballer captain

Of England under 18s that’s a great B into the channel from Noble so Roman Dixon eats up the ground defends it really well Noble it’s woring me there Dar all these young players I’m seeing now the fact that I’ve played with the fathers it’s fighting isn’t it yeah when

I was when I was watching Sheffield Wednesday recently Bailey kadari played and scored yeah D kadar’s lad playing professional football you know you’re in trouble yeah you know the clock’s ticking it is obviously uh played with Danny as well and yeah there’s a WhatsApp group that we with all in

Former youth players from the the club around that yeah youth Cup winning team era so there was there was plenty of back and forth between the lads and and lots of congratulatory messages to to Young Bailey and his his dad as well good create for himself at Sheffield

Wednesday he is for sure but when you remember danar scoring in a mercy side dby against Liverpool at the age of 17 and now you’re watching his lad play on sky on a Friday night it’s scary scary how quickly time goes the clock is ticking mate Liam Higgins is about to

Come on for everon as well and that would probably be could be for Cassie kti he just edging his way back to match shortness Noble to G back to Noble again let go out the way this game couldn’t it yeah very finely poed at the minute

Um since half time we’ve been the team in the ascendency we’ve been better and certainly a contest now that’s very very open frer barsley Comes A Long Way side puts the ball out of play good starting position from fra barsley playing for City on the far

Side it’s going to be a couple of substitutions for everon because Charlie wh is coming on as well matapa is being replaced by Charlie wher terrific to see Charlie back in he was uh fringes of the first team picture when he picked up his injury C kiate is coming off for Liam

Higgins just about minute on the pitch for kayate he’s got that tonight oh great to see him get minutes on the pitch uh he’s equi himself well y okay tonight yeah he looks strong look powerful out there um so you know when players are coming back from injury they’re good

Signs moving forward we can get more minutes more time on the pitch and and get back in the groove Charlie W going to Orlando with the first team in a preseason tour during the C lockdown so was clearly in the manager thoughts at the time his promising career was halted in

Its tracks with a serious ligament injury it’s been a long road back it’s tough It’s the toughest thing of all isn’t it when you you’re training on your own you’re in the gym on your own you’re working with the physio one to one you can’t get involved with the

Rest of the as much as I’m sure they try to keep you involved Pete it’s a very testing time for an individual long injuries takes a lot of mental strength here strong will to get through those tough moments got to be patient got to be a patient

Patient hav you and do exactly as the medical team tell you as much as you’d like to be back quicker yeah you do you got to be meticulous in your recovery and your your Rehabilitation hopefully you know they’ll uh reap the benefits of that and and be able to you know really progress

On from here now and show his his true worth can’t win that one Charlie whaka Jacob Wright to Samuel K ISAC Heath and haris Nong just too Keen to win the ball back free kick for Manchester City huge game for the first team tomorrow isn’t it by the way full of

Mcraven cottage yeah it is it’s uh they’re all of a distinct imp importance at the minute but you know it is huge game tomorrow when you’ve got Tottenham or Manchester City and you f in two games yeah definitely but it’s a it’s an opportunity for us to go and put

In a positive performance and pick up points you know really would give the play a lift of course of course you know Fulmer a decent side good Premier League side but it’s not you know uh a team that’s not got its vulnerabilities yet it’s not a team that can be uh you know

Beaten we’ve got a look at it as a chance to get points haven’t we or Point definitely uh you know I think I think obviously the manager meticulous in his to organized I I think it’s a real opportunity for us to go and get points like you say point but I think there’s

An opportunity for this to to frustrate them and with that the longer the game goes I think it give us an opportunity to go and win the game myself and graem Stewart will bring full audio commentary on Everton FC . live from Craven CES tomorrow from your kickoff time at 7:45 Jacob

Wrightz brings it in field but the move breaks down Higgins involved that be a throw in for Everton but not before Manchester City can bring on Nico O’Reilly an 18yearold who’s been on the bench for the first team and he’s replacing the glaswegian Josh Adam former Celtic youngster Trot off and nicoo

O’Reilly comes on 64 minutes on the clock one a piece this game is there for the taking they’ve not really with to tempt the gods they’ve not really threatened Fraser Barnsley much in this second period Peak no I think he SP on with that and and you know what first half

Yes they dominated The Possession but other than the uh the goal and the one save that he made from L um Samuel the not been too much that I can remember no he not been over being overworked it wasn’t save after save after save so you know the boys

Have grown into the game um you know I think they’re slightly edging it but you’ve got to score when you’re on top absolutely make your opposition uh you know put under that pressure and make them pay when you’ve got the uh The Edge on them true grunt to Noble only 16 K

Noble nice play by right to get away from Harrison Armstrong who gives Chase valiantly Taylor plays the ball behind and dar was flashed up on the far side anyway re Welsh for Everton again J Runs Out of Space CED off by Jacob rice goes for goal doesn’t get anywhere near it oh he doesn’t and you know what Daren that was a really promising opportunity for Manchester City he’s uh he’s took on the shot but if I uh I was a player running on his outside shoulder

I’d be really disappoint slipp me in cuz he had he’s done a free shot at the goalkeeper Kyle John be turn pass that’s exactly I’ll use the phrase that you’ve been using all night take a bit more care yeah they’re not difficult passes are they no it’s not a difficult pass

There’s there’s a big area of space to play that ball into and uh you know if you take that extra little bit of care you’ve got you’ve got a Kyle uh Kyle John ring down the outside there into a Crossing position uh with that you can

Get yourself can get players in the Box in scoring position Andala forces him away and winds are throwing on this near side and that’s been that’s been every bit as keenly contested as we thought it would be andala and Roman Dixon the two speed Merchants it has it’s been a a really intriguing battle um you know one I’d

Like to to say that Roman dutson’s winning uh I think he’s eding it um he’s had a really challenging evening but it’s a good good sign that he’s he’s sticking diligently to his task and and showing his worth defensively we know his capabilities going forward um so more of

It that’s a foul l a foul yeah let a lot go tonight the referee but I don’t mind that as long as he’s consistent that’s that’s a go for both sides K Noble for Manchester City 67 and A2 minutes gone we are at the 3/4 points

In this premier need two game here at Finch F and it’s one a piece the game is there for the taking for whoever wants a gra by the Scruff of the neck squish the clearance but finds Charlie Whitaker who is bundled over illegally says the referee by K Noble

And it will be a free kick for the tofes is’s your next game Peter weekend it is it’s the weekend we’ve uh we’ve got Charlie at home so they’re uh they’re in good form uh some big clubs in National League North these days isn’t it’s a very very competitive

Football League there is there’s um clubs in there that are have been consistently in the National League National yeah uh and and also clubs that have been Football League clubs in the course of time so nice touch by Higgins can he get a shot away no he just runs

Out of time of bace on the to the Penalty area there’s teams like Darlington and scun in in that League that you’ve played against in the football league as Jang p goes through lays it off real chance for Everton oh and it scuffed just at the wrong moment chance for Charlie Whitaker and

I’m sure Charlie Whitaker at full Pelt full fitness full match sharpness would have took that away here’s the replay yeah really good Fe from John P and just like you say it the wrong moment he just doesn’t get enough uh leverage on the shot to to get any Pace or power yeah

And really really tested goalkeeper but positive signs Yeah Noble headed Away by Armstrong picked up by a back to Samuel K again no way forward for Manchester City Kane Taylor gets his foot whipped from under it by Higgins it’s a free kick for the Visitors Jacob Wright ball that is 50 y right theth of wide player Michel Hamilton back to O again ever stay strong stay disciplined no way through for Manchester City galz Dar on this left hand side stepovers BR in fieldon stay strong that’s a nice but of skill shot Away defending resolutely evant really really good to see them uh patience in the defending D and not lunging into tackles standing up moving the feet making the the strikers have to work an opportunity not giving them anything and obviously uh they’ve got the rewards by stopping them getting a shot off now the

Balls in the uh the hands of Fraser barley I’ve been Resolute on many occasions this year the Everton back for even when we played Southampton here before Christmas and won 5- nil there was a real determination you know as well as anyone to get that clean sheet

At the end of the game yeah of course you know like you say the uh what you judged on isn’t it it is Defenders uh you know as as much as everyone wants to score and assist goals Defenders really really take pride in that clean sheet um

And doing well in the the the defensive work so you know to to get those clean sheets it’s something they’ll be really really pleased with no matter what the score one or two fouls creeping into the game as we approach the final 20 minutes Justino the lers to be

Impeded right it w to and Dara that’s a right that’s whacked Away by Armstrong and Everton committed to defend the Manchester City attack and there’s nobody further forward again Samuel Hamilton spots the forward run of niik O’Reilly gets in around the back here for Manchester City plays it back to

Hamilton Jacob Wright onto endala no wants to shoot herea brings the ball in field eventually takes a shot it takes a deflection and goes wide for a corner but bit of reluctance to take a pot shot there along the way you know in the the initial buildup they look like they

Could get into that wide area get across um n o riy I thought he could have crossed and didn’t turn back to recycle the ball across but like you say there seemed the a real reluctance to get a shot off in the end there was a great

Block from I think it was ree Welch getting his body in the way of things Corner Tri out of play harmlessly 73 and a half minutes on the clock at Finch Farm Everton under 21’s one Manchester City w a keenly contested game not many genuine goal scoring opportunities

Worthy of a mention but it’s been a close contest it’s still up for Grbs ball breaks for Taylor he’s positive takes it Forward Hamilton inside the penalty K the ball up from underneath his feet first attempt is block scrambled away more good defending from Reese Welsh but might have to do it again he does do it again and the gain he’s effective and

Everton can the lines but it’s not sticking up top it’s coming back quickly yeah like you say we need the ball to stay up this end of the pitch a little more than it is uh the the defender’s been fantastic re well there a couple of really good blocks important blocks but

We don’t want Manchester City building up ahead of steam and and you know forcing us to be camp in our own half strong challenge well the referee thought about blown his whistle but then he saw Ken Noble Come Away With The Ball wave play On Hamilton gets the look of the

Ricochet turns away from Armstrong CIA just turning the screw here just having a little five minute spell of domination certainly as regards to possession albe they haven’t tested Fraser Barnsley Dara Tight Jacob Wright get a shot that’s blocked as well now can Isaac Heath launch a counter attack for Everton towards Charlie Whitaker headed away though by Noble just haven’t managed to get Charlie into the game yet have we no you know we we’re very deep in our own half there let you

Say he tried to get him in behind maybe it’s almost that he needs to come and get hold of the ball to feet clever play there flick onling see what he’s aiming for and if you going to aim for anybody in full flight it’s Roman Dixon worth a try by

Whitaker Dixon has to trough back into position PA take would like to see yourself a bit more of a ball we’re not getting on the ball are we yeah no they’re dominating possession again in Manchester City uh we’re defending really disciplined Resolute in the defending but then uh you know the last

Thing we want either is Charlie with becoming isolated you know so it’s something that I’m sure Paul takes a word of and and maybe uh there looks to be some activity down in that Dugout if he’s uh maybe he’s just uh going to tweak something now and and

Uh Eddie Jones is about to come on re well has just cleared one high over the fence into the little carp behind the goal and Eddie Jones is coming on for Everton to replace Callum Bates couldn’t really get on the ball in the second half as much as he did in the first

Colum no other than the initial period of the first half where we started well uh got the goal it’s been more Manchester City again uh but we probably quarter of an hour to go a little less to the 90 minute Mark but with a time probably quarter of an hour be nice to

Just uh see he’s got a little bit more of a foothold in the game again and and put city under some more pressure because it’s still really evenly balanced in the grand scheme of things down ol Charlie wins the header Kan Taylor picks again it just doesn’t stick

In the final third for the tofes Ki be a foul on the referee plays an advantage K joh and field to Isaac Heath brings it into the middle of the park lays it short to Eddie Jones mfield to Armstrong it’s a very young EV side now these closing stages of the

Game Kyle John into the penalty Area Head Away by Noble galves has sufficient time to allow the ball to bounce masterer City can build again on that right hand side withi Jacob Bri daraes gz real chance for Manchester City and again the shot scuffed Raleigh trying to get the second ball down goes

A player inside the penalty area a ful length stop from Fraser Barnsley eventually could have gone anywhere but again good defending from Everton but City will feel they should have scored yeah is a v play Dar the ball comes there to W I’m not sure why yeah

O’Reilly the ball drops and it I thinking lace it at the goal I’m glad he didn’t obviously but if he’ lace that at the goal he likely just scores tries some clever play and Brilliant from the the boys at the back there they were determined not to concede and got the

Blocks in and made the tackles but it’s uh you know just something we’ got to be a little bit aware of that we’ve uh we got to stop them overloading us and and getting into those areas where they can get those pullbacks and really really hurt us unless we can get some

Possession in the Manchester City half this could be a long 10 minutes this yeah it could be I think think just looking at things I think Paul Tes perhaps just tweaked one of two things there bringing on the Eddie Jones so I think he’s gone with three

Center backs he pushed Roman Dixon and um K John into the wing back areas and now playing with with two Central Strikers which hopefully will allow us to keep the ball up the pitch a little bit more with uh with li Liam Higgins and Char with as those Strikers now 10 minutes to

Go approaching next goal the winner territory here at Finch Farm all the way back to Lal Samuel jaob rice to Noble true grat takes an age to feed the ball wi to this near side Galvez turns away from one skips past another crosses the halfway line Sprints in to a little

Gap but then he has to check and offload the ball and St challenge comes in from Liam Higgins he’s got that in his locket n O’Reilly he been impressive as he came on he’s a tall figure but he moves well moves nicely for the tall guy on that occasion Kyle JN takes it

Off him terrific defending from Kyle John there very very patient didn’t dive in stood up won the ball came away with it give the ball away and allow Manchester City to build again Roman Dixon and Roman Dixon just a little bit too Hasty you lay your arms on somebody

You’re always like to give away a free kick up yeah you are I I like the way you defend he’s front full he’s aggressive he doesn’t want the Winger to to U take advantage of him get up ahead of the steam sometimes you’ve uh you say

That D you can’t lay hands on people because run the risk of away sometimes you got to accept you’re not going to win the ball so just shepher them away exactly sometimes success as a Defender is actually forcing the attacker back yeah y say You’ got three players over the

Ball to get the ball into the penalty area defending a high line on the edge of the Penalty Box c not exactly plowing players forward with to go indeed they don’t put the ball into the penalty area they play it back and that’s often the

Case and I know ever manages in the past who we both worked with who would have gone berserk there what an opportunity to get the ball into the box you know I mean personally we got a free kick in that wide sort of an area i’ be i’ be

Wan the the the the individual taking it to put it into the area and and give those those bigger players those perhaps areally dominant players the opportunity to go and attack it and get an opportunity at the goal you still get annoyed Peter when you when you make

That long journey into the opposition Penalty Box and don’t get the delivery that you’re expecting o there there that’s the biggest sin isn’t it for us to commit against a Cent half you know you go up hope to to get something on a free kick and it’s doesn’t beat the

First man or go straight out of play yeah frustrating but I suppose you got to live and learn a little sometimes as well Darren there’s endal he’s in round the back oh goodness me it did set up but uh that’s as wide as it’s possible to get from Joe

Lala the 17year old it’s uh just about gone out for a goal kick over on the far side it nearly went out for a throw in but did set up awkwardly for him just as he swung his foot it did just as he was cocking his foot to strike it it sat sat

Up terribly and uh you know pretty glad it did because he he yeah it was a chance it was a real opportunity to be honest with you and like you say it was um fairly fairly wide at the Target ironically since ever got level it’s been all Manchester

City the the plethora of substitution on both sides obviously affects the flow of the game oh then here’s Higgins can he get a bit of space down that Far Side he’s being pursued all the way by Samuel Samuel brings the ball Away we’ve just been lacking a a physical presence in the in the half of the field haven’t we really yeah you know as it’s as it’s gone forward certainly in this second half uh you’re looking kle Samuel and K Noble of they’ve been able to uh deal with things

Pretty you know efficiently uh and also you know restart those attacks for the the Manchester City team eing away here finish f one piece Taylor gets it back off Jacob wardoo test the goalkeeper that time Barnsley was equal to it was a good save

Is the post abalo plays it back to EK EK with his right foot into the side netting two the best effort of the half yeah they were um the first one pra bound he gets down well the angle was cut off and he makes a good save at his

Near post and to be honest with you the uh the second one from okaki he struck it ever so well but thankfully it wh a pass the post and into the side now good save that isn’t it yeah it’s they’re difficult sometimes those that are close

To the body down by the feet but he uh he maneuvered himself well and like you say a good stop Michael with the follow-up effort found the side netting Everton can breathe again Everton can go again couple four minutes ago headed on by wh cleared J does well there JN P there goes Kyle JN still full of energy in the 87th minute it’s a great run by Kyle JN just RS out of time and space again though just didn’t offload it in time if you could have popped that PO off a little bit

Sooner there were opportunities uh for other players you know the two two Lads up top there Charlie W and Liam Higgin made good runs but just the pass wasn’t realized Noble space there for a King gvz to Andala again Heath he’s done well there he Ted in a little bit he’s done really really well Armstrong need somebody left he’s got Charlie Whitaker here is Whitaker he’s closed out another move breaks down yeah when Harrison Armstrong picks out off in the middle of the pitch

I’d love to see him you know run behind uh Keith um it was an opportunity perhaps to test them in behind and you know then you’re getting into are as where Lads can get shots off or test the goalkeeper or or get crosses to the the other forward players or attacking

Players coming into the box like I say just those those little bits of care and those bits of decision making when they get in those good areas defitely there’s GIS there still time for a goal here defended help be a free kick for the toughies Le Paul take no

End a few minutes out of time for the uh plethora of substitutions that have been made in this second half but as we approach the 90th minute Peter is a a Shar of the spoilers of Fairly Fair results at the moment I think it probably is a fair fair

Reflection of things um I think in terms of possession Manchester City have probably edged it yeah but in terms of you know opportunities um chances and there’s not been an abundance of them throughout the game either I think we perhaps just Ed that so yeah probably a fair reflection

On things um but still it’s uh it’s not all over than done with just yet J P he’s done well tonight yeah been impr hasn’t he he has the initial part when he was playing wide he was diligent in his defensive work and now he’s moved more centrally uh he’s wanted to receive

The ball ball take the ball off players uh and run with it get forward uh I’ve been impressed with the way he’s played this evening not the best forward ball from Isaac Heath Manchester City again regain control their own penalty area 20 minutes just about up F official has the board in his

Hand before he can tell us how long there is to be added he’s got to oversee a substitution for Manchester City mik Hamilton is coming off and 17-year-old maty warhurst is on’ll be three minutes of other time a b sends it long wh can’t get that one Samuel can car Samuel

Again Play by Noble Kyle John is there going to be one last chance for Everton to snatch Victory before the end of the yeah like you say with into those final added minutes um you know and I think there’s probably one chance left in the game um I’m hoping it’s certainly going

To be an a opportunity uh you know little bit of Smash and grab right at the end but sloppy play from Eli Campbello find a white jersey again City just pick off Taylor brings it towards the edge of the penalty area foot in by Armstrong now then Roman Dixon brings it away for Everton Dara gets goals side Armstrong takes over Whit appeals off two against two Harrison Armstrong Whit has to AR

His run it wasn’t the best ball in it’s up for grabs here with Roman Dixon he just couldn’t get there it’s a corner kick for Everton and that was the moment you were talking about Pi was it was it was that last opportunity um just some good play slide

Pass good tackle K Noble but then breaks the r Dixon and just pulls out at the right moment yeah but true gr came out really quick noted that angle on him so did this must be it we’ve got 40 seconds to go yeah corner kick right hand side it’ll be the

Last action of the game and it comes headed go save by the goalkeeper I thought that was the moment ree Welsh headed arrowing towards the top corner and true grant did really well to keep it out and we were on our feet then well we asked for one last chance

We got one and we nearly got the winner yeah no the uh the corner was a good one what’s this there’s Isaac Heath head to the Penalty got to get a shot away oh he’s put it well well wide that would just about be it but oh we thought that

Was the moment didn’t we yeah good Corner good delivery make the opposition defend it uh ree Welsh gets up well and good contact on it it looks like it’s going in that top Corner true grant gets across and makes a really good save um you know it’s uh certainly we’ve had the

Better of the opportunities uh although have had the better of The Possession Kyle John over on the far side and uh I don’t like to see a player go down when time is up would indicate that there’s a little bit of something there yeah it looks on the screen he looks like he’s

Holding the back of his leg uh never a good sign to be honest with you that Darren but we haven’t got another substitute to put on unless George pford The Substitute goalkeeper comes on as a makeshift left back for the closing few seconds referee will blow the whistle I

Think as soon as Manchester City take the goal kick let’s see a replay of that header from RE wel he got up well enough nothing wrong with the delivery nothing wrong with the header certainly nothing wrong with the save either good good Play All Around uh the corner the header the

Goalkeeping CJ is off the fit off the pitch but he’s uh on his feet at least and the referee allows play to go on we’ve had four minutes of the added three Noble Samuel referee quite content to let play go on Samuel looks for and dar

On this near side it’s a good take from him Kyle Jones back on the pitch he’s not have to wait at least 30 seconds I don’t think K’s coming back on no he looks like he’s he’s limping badly isn’t he yeah he certainly carry him the issue

Whatever that might be whether it’s that hamston he’s coming back on now though D he’s coming back on very very gingerly though just to defend this uh just for to be a body in there well hope he doesn’t make it worse now Everton could have easily put George Pon who’s a big

Lad he’s the substitute goalkeeper they could have give him an outfield shirt put him on to just be a nuisance in there because we’ve now had five minutes of the added three and the referee is going to let Manchester City take this free kick not sure where they added two

Minutes have come from since he put the ball into the P area has voied away and still we go yeah very strange uh yeah Kyle John went down injured and he might have been down two two minutes or whatnot but that was at the end of that P the ball inside

The penalty headed period of time Isaac Heath voles It Forward galz feeds it back we’ve now had nearly 6 minutes of out a time the referee does blow the final whistle and it’s ended all square here at Finch Farm on a Monday night in Premier League 2 Everton won Manchester City won probably

Just about right as you said earlier yeah like you say probably a fair reflection on things chances created shots on the target I think we probably Edge it in the grand scheme of things think Manchester City I perhaps had the better of The Possession but um possession doesn’t always win your games

No not at all golden e half and almost a winner from Reese wel right at the death but it’s ended all square my thanks as always to Peter Clark alongside me we’ll have him in again I’m sure before the end of the season and it’s finished at Finch fall Everton won Manchester City

Won thanks for your company for e e e
