Robbie Fowler: It ⁢was a proper battle, wasn’t it? City started brightly and looked risky, but Everton showed incredible resilience.You gotta give them credit, they never gave up and⁢ fought tooth and‍ nail for every ball.

Moderator: Ndiaye’s goal was a ⁣thing of beauty.⁤ Do you think his performance highlights Everton’s ability to capitalize on limited chances?

Moderator: ‍ Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: Manchester City’s struggles.Four games without a⁣ win is uncharacteristic for a team of their caliber. What’s going wrong for ⁤Pep Guardiola’s side?

Robbie Fowler: Look, they’re still a top team, no doubt about it. But there seems to be a ⁤lack of spark,a bit of uncertainty in their play. Haaland’s not firing on all cylinders, and the midfield, usually so dominant, is looking a little tired.
