Match Thread Everton v Man Citeh

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

Big fan of the 5-3-2 though.

 

[blue to the bone]

Or 5? It's just how you interpret it. This also looks like a 5-4-1, with Lukaku very isolated again.

With wing backs pushing on I'd expect mirallas to nearly be up top with rom..
3 across the middle should mean kev can stay forward

 

[Simon baker]

Barry starts....crying here.

Agreed but at least they have zabelta playing centre mid to offset neither can run

 

[Donald Twain]

I bet if we lose, Barry will get blamed for it.

He will!

 

[Prevenger17]

Anyone who thinks this is anything other than a 9-0-1 formation is kidding themselves

 

[AaronTheBlue]

The midfield worries me a lot but let's hope for the best

 

[roydo]

Would have started Morgs, nea.

 

[Morry29]

Liking the formation but I'm not liking some of the players in it

 

[bluestevon]

very rarely wish an injury on a player, but barry feelign a twinge early, on and needing to come off coudl save the game for us today, barry vs those players movement is aa terrifying prospect

 

[Howards tipple]

Only one change from the FA cup disaster.
Barry should be up for this, let's hope his legs are!
Come on blues! Get stuck in early and show them we are up for it!

 

[Billy Dean]

I think we've got a chance here. Looking at city's back 6 nothing to be afraid of there.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Barry and Barkley do not work together in the midfield, especially when there is no Gueye to do the running.

 

[roydo]

He will start.

Makes no football sense for him to come on when we are a few down.

Makes total sense for him to come off when he is goosed and we are 2 up.

Which means I will vollyed be into oblivion tomorrow.

Sake.

Just to save you the hassle.

For younger viewers, never, ever, believe anything I post about actual football.

I am clueless.

 

[Prevenger17]

Would have started Morgs, nea.

He hasn't played in a year and a half practically, probably a bad time to see how his legs are

Bookmarked in case Barry plays well.
