My God ! They've mentioned the game on Sky Sports 1. Now back to the BIG game ffs

Anyway UP Everton

Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg · January 15, 2017

Koeman has a lot of faith in Davies it seems. Could turn into a key player.

Terrible team selection in the midfield. Would have gone with schneiderlin and Mccarthy. I can only imagine they are both unfit.

Sorry but can't see us even getting a draw as the midfield will get totally overrun. 1-3 city. Had Mccarthy and schneiderlin been starting I would have said we could win. Really disappointed with this team news

Big test for Davies today, I have a lot of faith in the lad

McCarthy was only injured, Morgs has barely kicked a ball in anger for a year.

Strange. How's he gonna get fit?

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

As close to a safe bet as you can get that.
I'm tipping him to be one of our better players today against his former team and be a key part of our win. (but what do I know)

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

I really hope so.

Hoping for a win but predict 2-2

Such an important game for Barkley. Come on lad!

We say that every week

Would've played Morgs instead of Barry but ok, the rest is good. Just means we'll be inviting pressure on and that worries me with the front 4 they've got, outrageous talents.

I like this lineup me.

Not by throwing him into competitive action for the first time in forever against a high energy Man City side with Sergio Aguero in it. If the science is to be believed

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

Cue Barry to have his game of the season
