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

[Eggs]

Well the alternative is Coleman so I know who I would rather pick.

...I think it’s more a matter of returning to Plan B (the back four that worked well for him when Digne was injured). It might be more of the same this weekend.

King must have been so poor in training. How can he have failed so spectacularly to get in to this team?!?

 

[maccavennie]

I'm surprised the likes of Holgate, Richarlison and Gylfi kept their place tbh.

Incase any didnt see it,if true

Everton have decided not to risk Allan for tonight’s game with Manchester City, it is understood.

The Brazilian midfielder, who was on the bench for Sunday’s game with Fulham, has been left out of the squad for the visit of the league leaders this evening.

But the 30-year-old is hoping to be available for the Merseyside derby on Saturday evening.

It is believed that Allan is still not considered as 100% fit and so Everton have opted to leave him out this evening.

Its 4411 with Digne wide left

Erm

Where is he? Constantly injured. We signed an older player for instant results. He’s constantly crocked.

[Lanolin]

To be honest I’d virtually written this game off anyway (more a reflection of how good they are than our own form) so I’m not too fussed about the team. Surprised king isn’t playing though.

 

[maccavennie]

Only Mick Keane and Tom Davies have paid so far, absolute mingebags the rest of them lol

I bet they don't even know what a 50p looks like mate, paying subs with £50.00 notes instead

Doucoure proving to be the most consistent signing of the summer. He’s played more games and minutes than any other player.

Don't do it to yourself mate, whatever channel its on, stay far far away from it.

 

[PhilM]

He’s been an extremely poor signing

I trust Carlo

Richy and King in a front two would be great

I hate Sig up front

Would rather James

I trust Carlo

A defensive setup as expected. King starting on the bench is not the biggest worry here. Our record when we play three at the back is pretty dire. The system depends on our ability to mount swift counterattacks, but I just can't see this happening. Digne and Iwobi are going to get pushed back into more defensive roles. And we're going to have the same problem as we did against Fulham, we need Richarlison making runs from wide positions, not stuck up front on his own with no service.

Prime mate.
