Match Thread Man City 2-0 Everton, Sat, 18/10, 3.00 pm

[58 toffees]

I've predicted 0-0 on Chris Sutton's BBC prediction thing with celebs and AI. None predicted we'd beat Palace but I did.

Best not tell you what i put

 

[Gilbert..]

Bit like liverpool. The fear of getting whooped isnt there like it was a few years ago.
Cant see a win.
Optimistic 1-1.

 

[Saint Domingo]

At some point we need a statement result just to change the mentality at the club. Would love a win at one of these grounds.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Pickford
OBrien - Tarkowski - Keane- Mykolenko
Garner - Gana
N'Daiye - KDH - Alcaraz
Beto

Would be ideal given Alcaraz does better on the left and Beto does better with Alcaraz there.
To absorb pressure both KDH and Alcaraz drop back to look more like a 4-4-1-1
Going forward with the ball lots of options around the AM3
Wish we had a better striker!

Bench: Travers, Coleman, Iroegbunam, Rohl, Branthwaite, McNeil, Barry, Aznou, King

Unless there is an injury disruption only Coleman, Iroegbunam and Barry are likely to see game time, but that is a pretty strong bench

oh and result prediction - 1-1

5 nil. I just woke up and realised our star player and inspiration is not eligible to play.

Did I miss something? Is Dibling out?

That was the injury, mate

Judging by your current avatar, it looks like you picked up the same injury.

Yes, mate. I'll be honest: I've started thinning so had to be honest with myself and go short

 

[sdk]

If the blues can come away with a win, they'll leapfrog City on the table. Compared to recent seasons this is a nice place to be.

No space in the XI perhaps Alcaraz played himself in after Palace.

It was more that he wasn't on the bench either

 

[Blue Neon]

No ones mentioning the possibility of a sending off coping with Haaland. 2 bookables might be on the cards for one of our big guys at the back, whoever's given the job.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

5 nil. I just woke up and realised our star player and inspiration is not eligible to play.

Step up our former star player and inspiration in his better position……
