Match Thread Man City 2-0 Everton, Sat, 18/10, 3.00 pm

[summerisle]

It's the anniversary of the death of our greatest manager next Friday. It would be nice if this was recognised, especially as we're playing City. Ten years' ago, how time flies.

This'll be a good test of our form, I'd settle for a draw, but hope of course for a win.

….not sure our form is that great, maybe fortunate last weekend and without our talisman for this game but I suspect playing away might just suit us more.

They’re not the force they were but they’re still a force & anything picked up will be a massive bonus.

nearly first.

No Jack, no party

 

[RomanReigns]

it would make sense to go with Beto, Ndiaye, KDH, Alcaraz, Garner, Gueye, Mykolenko, O'Brien, Keane, Tarkowski, Pickford

 

[Ring master]

I am half expecting a tight defeat by a goal. But it would not surprise me if we did pull off a draw

 

[MACCA75]

Obviously a win is out of the question. A draw is possible if we dig in. Likelihood is we roll over for a good old belly rub.

Two draws in the last three games away to them.

Yep but a shocking record there, along with the other top teams.

 

[Tommy Chong]

We are going to miss this lad’s contribution next week:

Unless… I mean, if you squint hard enough:

Can’t we trim Jack’s hair, throw a bit of prosthetics on his face, and BAM! We call him Tyler?

Oh yes, but we've got a chance if we kill Haaland.

 

[Swartzy]

Might have been more positive without an international break.

Expect Tim will be brought back in.

Last min equaliser from Alcaraz would be sweet.

Whilst I think a win is unlikely it really isn't "out of the question". City are not the team they were a couple of seasons ago and, with the exception of Burnley and Wolves who are not good sides, they've had a pretty mediocre start to the season. Brighton beat them and Brentford gave them problems. We shouldn't pay them too much respect but I worry Moyes will set us up like he did at the pit.

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

Éderson was a big part of City's control of games.

It will take them time to adapt their system to a new goal keeper with areas of uncertainty there to be taken advantage of.

Beto
Ndiaye Alcaraz Dibling
Gana KDH
Myko Tarks O'Brien Garner
Pickford
