City don't seem to be able to cope with Everton so far. After Silva's quick goal, Everton were able to get back on track with efforts from Doucoure and Ndiaye. Although in terms of shots on goal the teams are roughly equal, City hit 3 times and Everton 2, but in terms of possession City have a 60-40% advantage.
Apparently it was necessary to bet on the fact that both teams will score, because it was clear that immediately City will not be able to get out of the crisis and will still miss, and the odds that both teams will score I believe was about 1.5 -1.6.
Now City must not concede the second goal, otherwise the whole game can fall apart again and we will see another defeat of Manchester City at home.
Just for few minutes we thought Man City were going to win easily in this match, they showed a great performance, opportunities to score and dominance. However, just after the goal, I couldn’t understand why they started to look stressed and frustrated to a point where every player made a mistake, or lost very close goals, face to face with Everton’s goalkeeper.
Manchester City still has chances to make things right, they should score a goal or two in the beginning of the second half. Guardiola should change his plans and strategy to defensive one after scoring a goal, he should keep the players in the same position and make more efforts to score and create a better gap.
My prediction in this match is one the teams will score early in second half, then the opponent will draw the score and win eventually. Both teams are looking stressing and afraid of each other’s strength.
