What they're saying

"
City are more methodical under Enzo Maresca, with the way that he builds play from the back - they won't be swashbuckling, put it that way. Everton's late equaliser would have felt like a loss last weekend, but United still haven't clicked in attack yet, and that's part of the problem for them. Then I look at the goals they are shipping too, and wonder if they are really good enough to keep City out?
