Struggling to see the positives.

I’ve been in absolute states of euphoria in the last two home games only to be given the sharpest of daggers to the heart.

Pathetic little football club this.

Couldn’t care less about qualifying for the conference league at this point. Life has been sucked out of me

But they will be third and fourth choice

Zoom out.

Have a look where we were 18 months ago.

Have a look who we we're bitterly disappointed to draw against today.

How do you reckon that ? Who would he have replaced ?

FFFFFFUCK man watched this on delay. What a kick in the balls at the end. Can't believe we didn't close him down.

Fuck sake. Europe was right there.

Also, can't believe they didn't give that penalty on Rohl.

Just got home and feeling gutted, drained and angry and yet again 7 minutes of injury time against us.

Yet again a clear penalty ignored. Yet again a lapse in concentration to let them score 12 seconds from kick off.

We had more than enough chances to finish them off when they were on the ropes, Ndiaye guilty of wasting the best of them.

Give me 3-3 at the start and I would have been happy, but that’s not how football works and how the chips fell it does just feel like a gut punch.

After that first half at least we made a fight of it, but there’s another game where we haven’t got our dues out of it, and it’s on us, again.

I mean, yes, but you look at that and it's nuts again.

"The foul was substantially happening when the ball wasn't in play" was approximately what they said apparently. That's not a thing. The ball was in play and he was being wrestled to the ground. They just come to a conclusion and form a rationale it feels like.

It's what it is. Not just feels like.

There is nothing that cant be justified by this lot.

It's a shambles. I think this season has been the worst in terms of weasly wiggle room and colluding commentator consensus-forming that I've witnessed. It's just really bad. And its not just us...that Bournemouth Palace one the other day was a shocker.

It's a battle of the cheaters and manipulators. And the narrative writers. (Not dissimilar to the NBA in the last two decades)

We want our sport back please.

Have to say stupid closing down issues aside, we really made some really poor choices on the break too. There were 2 or 3 huge chances there which we were so profligate with. Ndiaye, KDH, Alcaraz all pretty culpable with the decision making.

We should have put that game to bed honestly second half.

Definitely missed opportunities tonight and we should have won.

I just find it hard to be that annoyed given about 2 of our players gets in their squad.

xG Everton 2.77 vs 1.44 City

A mix of unlucky and profligate for us, but kept them to almost nothing except long range pot shots, which must be noted.

Well done David Moyes.

I'm trying to not get angry looking at that again...but he's not even playing the ball at all just basically wrestling him.

How do they look at that and think...cool, check complete.

Trying to be somewhat meditative about the result, on reflection we did kind of get gifted the first goal and got lucky with how we got the third. I suppose from that point of view, we did have some luck in this one even if we did fluff our lines too.

That’s about as positive as I can be right now though.
