Tom Davies captained Everton against Manchester City on Wednesday

Aymeric Laporte rose highest to head home David Silvas free-kick in first-half stoppage time, which killed the confidence Marco Silvas side had built from an energetic start.“We were obviously gutted. It’s not good enough,” said academy graduate Davies, captain on the night with Phil Jagielka injured and Seamus Coleman dropped to the bench.“We are disappointed with it, of course. That’s twice now in the last two games just before half-time.2

Aymeric Laporte headed in Manchester City’s opener

“If we keep it out and go in at half-time at 0-0 it’s a different game because we’d put in a good shift, as we did in the Wolves game (that Everton lost 3-1 on Saturday).“We are looking to work on it and we will be back for the next game and, hopefully, we can get that sorted. “All we can do is have a few games, a few set-plays, defending well and I am sure we will be more confident.“All the lads are gutted because we’ve done well enough in the game but it is just poor goals again.“Two-nil sounds comfortable but it was far from that.”

Four home losses now this season, not good enough. 90+2' - Blues complete devoid of ideas, completely shut down now by the visiting side. Silva and all the players have some answering to do.
