Match Thread Everton 3-3 Manchester City Monday 4th May 20.00

Speaking to a few city fans at work who think this is a guaranteed 3 points but are worried about brentford. Says it all.

I have worked in Wythenshawe for 4 years, and we don't even register with City fans.

I think the only chance we have is if all our players wear wigs with massive dreads

Funny to say "truthfully it was never really on" when we've been in or within 3 points of a European spot for the entire season

Past results are not predictive of future results. We won a fair few games without playing very well and the way that almost always works is it catches up to you. I think we should honestly be thankful it has caught up to us at a time when we already have points on the board instead of a time where it could put us down the wrong end.

A ruthless club would very seriously ban haircuts among the players. It is a legitimate tactical advantage to have hair that may accidentally get pulled.

Have to stay positive for this game, even though we are massive underdogs. COYB!

9 straight home defeats against any side no matter how good they are is extraordinary. Surely has to be our worst run against any opponent?

Knife to a gunfight

Got Ferguson header v United 2005 vibes this... COYB

Anyone who reads my posts will know I am always on the up .
I think Gana is near the end ,Illi has sights elsewhere ,Tarks and Keano are way past their best , Moyes will not play any different set up so we are doomed ,the one bright light is that it could make the owners realise if we get tanked how limited he is not giving fringe players a chance .Braiden Graham should have been given a chance but I agree not tonight .So a late night for me as we are two hours ahead but I fear it will be Pep's night not Dithering Davey's .
We have a slim chance of europe ! Oh my sides are hurting .
With a good manager we will all see a big difference in the way we play and the likelihood of getting anywhere .

He’s been training with them for a long time but our brilliant manager doesn’t think he is ready!

It’ll be good for him to sit and watch for a few seasons

We lose by at least 3 goals, one of which is a header off a set piece, McNeil plays at least 65 minutes, and Barry for Beto is the first sub.

If only that could be made into a bet.

Both Glasner and Iraola have had results against City. Neither has, or expresses, an inferiority complex. Bournemouth especially always go out and have a go at teams and Palace do to a certain extent. On paper neither has a better squad than us, in fact we’re all quite similar in squad ability and depth and we each have a few flair players that can make a difference.

The fear, the caution and the lack of self-belief that we can beat teams like City comes from one place, and until that changes we’ll continue to have hard luck stories and routine defeats against them.

Sadly, we’re predictable, timid and boring to watch. Just forked out best part of £1900.00 for my 2 ST’s again and have zero excitement or anticipation for next season already as I can only see TFG keeping the same, tired management team of old-timers Moyes, Irvine and McKinlay on for another season. I’m missing tonight due to another damn fixture change ( 4th miss this season due to the same thing) and to be honest, it normally really pee’s me right off but it isn’t today ( tuning in from sunny Croatia may have a tiny bearing on that lack of annoyance though ).
Either a predictable 2-0 loss or a unfathomable 1-1 draw.

6 wins out of 17 home games.
Difficult to get excited about this one.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Do you think these still get nightmares about Tom Davies?

Guaranteed if we even dare to try and win tonight - PGMOL and VAR will try their utmost to make sure we don't and the SUPER DOUPER SUNDAY last game is still on for sky and their legions of telly clapper subscribers to make sure it is still the bestest league in the world.
