We have a good away record thus far although it means relatively nothing, as does the record against City over the years. We have to play with the same level of intensity we did against Newcastle in the first half and carry that ethic for 90 minutes. We have a squad capable of a win but with a couple of doubts in midfield could see City kick on second half with their attacking threat and cause us some problems, there will be times we will be on the back foot and under pressure, depending on how the game is panning out and they have execution from all areas of the pitch, so Jags and Distin will need to remain solid and Baines and Coleman to support them more. I would be tempted to play Heitinga to sit in front of the CB's to add that support with Osman playing the support role for Barkley. It will be interesting and will no doubt e easy, we can do this! But I expect heavy pressure and nervous moments at times.
 

ASA Hartford.....Hafnia kit and curly perm .
Remember him scoring a peach of a volley in an FA cup game against Aldershot. The sort that would get shown from a million different angles on footie shows if it were scored today.

Keep thinking we'll win. Can't keep my optimism in check. I Normally rely on Everton for that but they're letting me down badly. The bastids.
 
Any idea how to get photos off an iphone Peter?

Anyway, I'm not all that hopeful about tomorrow, I reckon 2-1 to City, we might possibly scrape a draw. I hope I'm wrong.

Hahahaha - not forgotten how to post.

Really tough game this for Everton tomorrow.
 
Talking of reverse psychology.... what if the boss is spinning the story that Mirallas and Gibson are doubtful when they're in fact okay to play?

Hoping that's the case. :unsure:

One of the hardest games of the season. A draw will be a good result.

Nah, we'll win. Think positive thoughts. This is the perfect opportunity to have a go at them. They're down and we're up. Our new philosophy looks great, their new system looks cr@p. Our keeper has improved from last season, theirs is still in a nightmare with no signs of waking up. The time is right for us to go in and get a win. I think we absolutely can. We're getting them at a perfect time IMO.

You really don't think his form has improved? Besides his horrible pass against Chelsea where Barry saved him, he's not really done anything wrong...Even his handling and kicking look much better than a season ago.
