Match Thread Everton 3-3 Manchester City Monday 4th May 20.00

[Pittsburgh Footy]

This will go the same as it always does.

We grind our way to a goalless stalemate through about 65 minutes then they finally unlock us with a quality succession of passes and a good finish from a world class player.

We try to find a goal, nearly scoring one, and concede another one around minute 86.

Capit...capitul...capitula...we'll lose.

you and dave mates? i mean

every thread your blocking it with

negativity

Negativity? It's reality that has been borne out for 35 years and more.

The optimists have been proven delusional over that time. It's the so-called pessimists or "negative" types who have proven the more reliable interpreters of reality, sad to say.

But hey, if you think we won't lose to City next week, good for you. I'd love you to be right.

Stop it or Matty will be on to you for negativity.

Foden will get his first goal and / or assist in an age.

If Barry starts, we are in for a battering

No chance he starts


Unless Beto is out still, then 100% he will

 

[windymiller]

At home, zero expectation.

We'll come close, but be unlucky.

I'm assuming we'll be "robbed by the officials".

We're like Hulk Hogan in the 80s, we never lose clean.

He doesn't start.

Unless it's the one where Beto is still out, in which case starts.

 

[hallamblue]

We've looked toothless in the last couple of games and they're in decent form. I think we're due a bad defeat rather than a close one 0-4.

What a deep cut of a reference. Bravo.

We'll set up to draw amd play incredibly deep.

We will either lose comfortably offering no threat or, if we win, it'll be against the run of play probably via a set peice.

It's the sort of game Moyes loves. Everyone expects us to get nothing. So a point, while we offer absolutely no attacking threat, looks a good result.

We'll come close, but be unlucky.

Sad but true.
