After the Wolves game, it was all negative, but with football you have to wait for your day to respond. We needed to score the second goal." We allowed them one chance and it was a fantastic goal, you have to say 'congratulations' but in general what we did was really good. Everton boss Frank Lampard: "The quality of the finish was top drawer. Brentford played in the same shape but we couldn't control their long balls and their second balls. Demarai is a hugely talented player but I'd love for him to get a few more tap-ins." When you stay in the game you have a bit of belief and you just need some moments. The returning winger used Mykolenko as a decoy to drift inside Akanji before unleashing an unerring strike beyond Ederson. John Stones lost Calvert-Lewin at a Kevin De Bruyne free-kick and thudded his header against the post. Rodri won the ball back off Alex Iwobi and after Nathan Ake fed Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne combined inside with Jack Grealish before Riyad Mahrez was found in space on the right. "We showed a lot of personality and work ethic," Lampard said. "When you play a team of City's level, you understand what's coming.

But to create these chances we have to make the process and sometimes for that you need other types of players. Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez are preferred in the wide areas and, on the surface, Foden’s ongoing omission seems confusing because City are undoubtedly a better team with him in it. Of the established players who are available, only Phil Foden, Joao Cancelo and Kyle Walker started all of City’s three matches in December from the bench. Usually his messages to the squad are hidden inside answers about an altogether different topic and that was the case this weekend. City’s aggregate score in those games is 11-0. Foden, meanwhile, has started just one of City’s last six in all competitions. ‘Sometimes you choose the players for how happy they are. ‘Lately, as I get older, I mainly look at the body language. ‘Every time it is difficult to choose the team for me — always top players are not playing,’ Guardiola said.
