Dwight McNeill bound to be selected .....

Dwight McNeill bound to be selected .....

Why ?

Dyche is no longer here and he didn`t exactly cover himself in glory during his one and only start in the cup defeat.

 

[sd_1992]

We literally did it at Anfield. IMO an even more beatable team than City for us because we don’t have to risk Haaland being 1v1 against Keane or Tarkowski to have a go.

The Moyes conservatism (some might even say cowardice) is going to nowhere. It will take a different manager.

We literally did it at home against Crystal Palace just because they were on a good run.

No fight until going behind in these games.

Because Grealish cant play, I'd like to see Charly up front.
Pickford
JOB Tark Keane Myko
Gana Garner
Ndiaye KDH Mcneil
Charly

 

[W84 Dum Freeze]

they signed the current champions league winning goalkeeper tbf

Can he catch a ball properly ?

 

[WilliamBoo]

Believe me, this match, and with the team we have, is winnable. Moyes just have to know how to manage the timing and substitutions.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Unfortunately we're going to get massively groped here, especially without Grealish playing. Huge potential to get destroyed by a good number of goals, especially with the form of Haaland. Let's at least hope we don't pick up any injuries or suspensions, that would be a kind of victory in David's book.

Grealish doesn't add much to our defense so I'd expect us to be fairly solid at the back. We will undoubtedly miss Grealish going forward and no amount of charly will make up for it. could see this being a 1-1 or 1-0

 

[Blue Neon]

Haaland been sent home early by the Norwegian FA so the poor lamb can rest before he faces the Mighty Blues

The power of Pep! He speaks, they listen!

 

[marrowfatpeas]

Everton arrive with quiet defiance, burdened by little but lifted by belief. There is steel in our stride and a whisper of mischief in the wind.....enough, perhaps, to trouble the kings for a moment.

Yet City play like time itself - measured, certain, and cruel. One lapse, one breath too slow, and the moment is gone. Everton may stir the storm, but the calm that follows may be a light blue sky.

Still… football is a strange old beast. If the bar gets rattled, the ref looks kindly, and Pickford channels something biblical, well, why not? Stranger things have happened on a soggy Saturday.

Time to grab the ankles!

 

[Nymzee]

I'm looking forward to the end of the international break but City? Really? C'mon PL, give us a break.

 

[degsy]

Believe me, this match, and with the team we have, is winnable. Moyes just have to know how to manage the timing and substitutions.

...and not set us up in the manner of his previous 1st half debacles

Give us a drag of that ciggie

Give us a drag of that ciggie

Ah, I sense the subtle insinuation that my cigarette may be of a more botanical persuasion, but alas, it is tragically ordinary, nothing but a woodbine.

 

[Joey66]

Yet another team we have a shocking record with in recent years. I’d be happy with a draw

We got a draw there last season ....
