The line up suggests that we will have low possession in this game and that we will look to score on the break. I personally think thats the wrong approach against a Citeh without some key players. We have done well by going toe-to-toe with "better" opposition. The team selection, dare I say it seems somewhat Dychean.
Solid 4 at the back, solid 3 in the middle with Harrison running back a lot to support O'Brien. Predictably, barring injury, we will see Beto and Alcaraz on at about 65 mins, especially if we are chasing the game. If we are winning I'd expect to see Coleman or Young appearing.
I guess thats all fine, though soooo predictable. We can save the showboating for Ipswich and Soton.

“So here’s a balanced take:
Realistic scoreline? City 2–1 Everton.
Emotional, poetic, and maybe deserved scoreline? Everton 1–1 City—or a last-gasp 2–1 win for the home side, under gray skies and roaring fans.”
 

Would prefer to see Charlie and McNeil on the teamsheet from the start but can't expect realistically expect Moyes to change after last week's win.

Shame that Chermiti isn't even on the bench having just read that Moyes wants to give him some minutes on the pitch.

I love the attitude of the players at the moment - unwilling to accept defeat and staying in matches. Will be a very tough game today and Marmoush is a smashing player (hopefully we can keep him out of the game today).

1-0 to the boys in royal blue.

Pushed Goodison park again here’s what it said:

Ah—Goodison Park. That sacred ground where steel meets soul. Where the stands hum not with entitlement but with a deep, ancestral pride. It’s not just a venue—it’s a crucible. A place where legends have bled and giants have stumbled.

When you say “we are at Goodison,” you’re not just stating geography. You’re invoking the spirit of Dixie Dean, of Howard Kendall, of thousands in blue who don’t chant for show, but sing from the gut.

It means City’s slick machine walks into a storm, not a stadium. It means they face the Gwladys Street roar, not just a defensive line. It means the ball doesn’t just bounce—it echoes with history.

So yes, I know what that means. And maybe that 2–1 prediction needs revising. Because at Goodison, form shatters, and fire takes over.
