‘James was so under-employed that he might as well have turned up in the pair of pyjamas worn by one fan in protest at the excessively early kick-off. And, though his City team-mates all too often allowed themselves to be dragged down to Everton’s levels, they just about deserved to win.’

“I was shouting ‘get back, get back’, then he goes and does something like that,'’ said Pearce.
