[Death]

I'm bringing my man City supporting girlfriend to the game, I hope she'll be ok amongst our fan's ?

Oh.. we'll take care'hurr. Reeeal niish like.

We’re 9/1 to win at Goodison in a league game..

Dosent happen that often that.

9/1 odds or us winning?

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Just want a decent performance tbh.

Wouldn't be surprised if we get something. It's the teams around us which we have always had a problem with

You should open a bookies. I'll sign up.

 

[Toffeelover]

Wonder what our team will be ??

Dog shyte, as normal !!

With Frank being livid with the last putrid performance I think we'll actually exert some effort and be formidable. Whether that translates into a win against a typically unstoppable team is unknown. I also think the players are petrified of the fans so that will motivate them as well. I just know if we do play decent the inevitable regression away will occur with them acting crestfallen after our next embarrassing unraveling.

A big plus is that it's a 5.30pm kick off, more time on the ale, to get the crowd right up for it. Mind you I'd take a draw right now, but COYB.

If you give that extra beer to the City players instead of the fans I for one would be more than happy.

Is this going to be one of those matches were we hang on like grimm death for 70 minutes. Then concede 3 in the last 20 minutes. Our usual collapse against City. Naw of course that isn't going to happen.
We are going to compete. Take a two goal lead. DCL at long last finding his shooting boots. We boss the midfield. We defend solid. We win this match. So let's rock and roll. We are not beat yet. Up The Toffees.
PS.......then normal service will be resumed away to Spurs. Our customary collapse away from home.
God .....this is depressing. Man City and Spurs next. Hoping for points from somewhere. But really fearing the worse. Will be looking for other results to go out way. Starting with Palace and Spurs winning tonight.
That's how bad things are. Hoping that Watford and Burnley get beat.
Anyhow.......let's hope that our useless bunch can produce something at the weekend. And if Gomes plays.......then I have to then question Lampards judgement. So with everything crossed and praying. Come on Everton.
Surprise us all.

 

[jackmac69]

Need to throw the game, 0 - 1 and sit back making no attempt to score whatsoever, remember it's the taking part what counts, not the winning.

 

[Donegal blue]

Fully expect we will be ripped a new one, all depends which everton show up, Come on Everton make an effort.

 

[The Trinity.]

Man City might just take it easy on us. Don't they always rest a few againat us. Although I suppose they could test about 15 against us. And it still wouldn't make much difference.
Maybe they will bring back the goat. And a few of those useless players they had in the 1990s and early 2000s. Give us a chance.
Get Joe Corrigan in goal. He'd probably keep a clean sheet.
Anyhow.......enough of this nonsense. Get these next few league matches out of the way. Then we need to start winning. Up The Toffees.
Ps......we 'll be ok. I think.

Burnley leading Spurs. Don't often say this , but here's hoping that Spurs can salvage a draw. Seems that every team in this league can get a shock result. Spurs beat City. Burnley beat Spurs. shock
And guess who can't win against the odds? Answers on a postcard to Lampard and his coaches. Minds me when I hear people say that ( Lampard and his coaches) of that guy and his deputy in that Clint Eastwood film. And look what happened to them.
Anyhow.......Leeds and Watford beat. I'll take that. We need every wee bit of help that we can get. At least until we start winning football matches.
Up The Toffees. Lampard and his coaches Toffees.

Liverpool could potentially be level with them by the weekend.

This will go 2 ways

Either they feel the pressure and struggle a bit which gives us half a chance of scraping something

Or

They come out all guns blazing and completely pummel is into next week

 

[Gilbert..]

I think you can rattle city. First goal is big. They grow very confident with the first goal. But by the same token if you get it you can knock them out of their stride.
We're gona get walloped in all probability.

 

[Ring master]

As much as i want us to win, i just cannot see anything other than a city win if i am honest, and it feels like City always seem to beat us 3-1
