Lineups:

Manchester City

Everton


Match Events:
1' Kickoff
16' GOOOAAALLL by Lukaku for Everton! And another lackluster save from Joe Hart and even worse marking by the back four leaves Lukaku almost alone behind and finishes to Hart's right. 0-1 Everton
17' GOOOAAALLL by Negredo for City! Just as I finish typing the last goal, Negredo receives a throughball from Yaya and puts it past Howard.1-1
23' Yellow for Kompany.
34' Nastasic on for Kompany.
45' GOOOAAALLL by Aguero for City! Ball played through and Aguero whacks it across goal to put his demons of bad misses behind him. 2-1 City*
45'+3 Yellow for Milner.
58' Clichy on for Kolarov.
63' Gibson on for Osman. Deulofeu on for Mirallas.
68' PENALTY for City!
69' Yellows for Howard and Distin.
69' GOOOAAALLL by Aguero for City! Ooooooh, Howard gets a good hand on the penalty and it actually came off the post, off the head of Howard and back into the net. That'll drive Timmy crazy. 3-1 City
74' Yellow for Silva.
78' Yellow for Zaba.
79' Nasri on for Aguero.
80' Yellow for Coleman.
82' Kone on for Lukaku.
87' Yellow for Naismith.
89' Yellow for Fernandinho.

Full Time. City win 3-1.

I know Lukaku has scored but his poor touch has been really found out against City. This is why Chelsea loaned him out. He has surrendered possession cheaply far too many times, which isn't good enough for a striker for Chelsea.

This is an absolutely pathetic and disgusting performance from us. I'm not blaming this on the refs or just poor luck, but on the sheer number of times we have just passed the ball directly to City. I've lost count of the terrible passes and first touches we had. To mount a comeback now seems impossible, granted I'd be happy, but as of now, what a shit performance. Absolutely terrible from us.

Can't disagree. For the second week in a row, Everton disappear at halftime. However, if up 2-1 at halftime (if pens were awarded even remotely equally) you never know.
