Match Thread Everton v Manchester City - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[58 toffees]

We will get beat, of that there can be no doubt.

That's the spirit

On balance I want us to lose this for obvious reasons. If we had more points and looked in good shape for higher than 8th I'd want us to win no matter the consequences. I'm all about the cups now thanks to our rubbish start. After City I hope we start to improve as I'd hate a relegation fight. I don't want us to change manager. I want him to improve on last year.

You want us to lose for obvious reasons ?... have i missed something ?

 

[Maine road Man]

Everton have shown us that we do that well so you'll be fine.

Like I say, old skool City fans always have a feeling of 'typical City' implosion in the back of our minds, especially against a former bogey team like Everton.

Among teams he's faced more than once in the Premier League, Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero's worst minutes-per-goal ratio is against Everton, scoring just twice in 13 appearances and 793 minutes (one goal every 397 minutes).

I'm sure that ratio will look very very different on Sunday morning

Would start Sidibe and give Coleman a chance to refresh.

Iwobi should be central with Delph and I’d play both DCL and Kean.

Probably to prevent the RS from opening up their lead at the top of the table.

 

[Kenshin]

Isn't form why anyone should be dropped?

I mean we don't replace anyone like that until their legs have gone for all Intent and purpose. Baines, distin, jagielka, mainstays until they couldn't perform at this level anymore

Is Coleman in that category as well now? We seem to have a habit of making them captain before we then drop them perminently

 

[Jeff Jones]

I did say ‘ going back quite a while’ : Do you remember him? He was transferred to LutonTown in part exchange for Billy Bingham. I apologise if it was well before your time.

Yes, I remember him, and I remember Bingham coming from Luton, but I don't remember Ashworth going in part of the deal. As you say, it was a long time ago.

I've been calling for 4-4-2 for the last few home games, but not for this one!
I think it needs to be a fairly compact display, take a 0-0 now but cant see it.

I didnt see any of Wednesday nights game, what was Holgate like? He's more mobile thank the other two, but it might just be like feeding him to the sharks,

Pickford
Coleman - Keane - Mina - Digne
Delph - Davies
Gylfi
Richarlson DCL Bernard

 

[Jadubsee]

Iwobi should be central with Delph and I’d play both DCL and Kean.

I like this idea but Silva would never do it. He's got 4-2-3-1 tattooed across his lower back, the dirty screff.

To be fair I think we’re as much of a bogey side for you guys relative to the other teams. I always have a sneaky feeling we can turn you guys over.

Not this time though - you’ll bum us this time.

If we play like we did v Watford we'll leave you with arses like the baboons at knowsley pal

TBH I am sure they would put the breaks on after 4 nil due to our love affair (8 nil incoming)

I don't really understand your point.

Are you moaning people want to drop Coleman?
