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

[Rehnman]

Looking forward to tonight - will complete my Grand Tour of watching a game in the upper and lower sections of all four stands. Anyone else completed the full set yet?!

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

Arguably in a false position. Gash full backs, Grealish missing over half the season, Branthwaite missing over two thirds, Beto turning up since January/Barry being an awful centre forward plus Ndaiye and Gueye at the African Nations.

We’ve had 2 weeks to prepare for this tbf.

Given that we didn’t bother turning up for the last game.

Going the Railway today .Agree about the steak frites they are good and I prefer them minus the eggs when I'm on the ale

Got to have the eggs. It helps clog you up so you don't have to trek from row 63 for a piddle.

We usually play even worse when we've had more time to prepare for games though.

I think we get that statement win at last at this new stadium. Chelsea doesn't count because they're pony right now.

Good article and another reminder of how easy it is to manage against Man City for any Everton manager.

Davide 36 years old and still clinging to his dad’s pinny! Get out and have a go on your own!

Hoping we can the draw.

Good luck lads.

i have zero hope for this, which this season usually tracks with us winning and gana gueye playing well despite my desperation to never see him agajn

 

[OlDirtyBluenose]

Defend like we have been lately and we'll get battered.

Hoping for a backs against the wall point but fearing the worst.

 

[ChesterBlue]

There’s just no chance I’m watching us get 5-0’d here

How do people have no expectations for this game when Burnley easily held them down to a goal at Turf Moor?

We can sit in and wait our time to get a goal and defend it.

There's at least a point here for us, and I think City might be looking at where Arsenal are and think that with the games they have in front of them the jig is up...if we get the first goal they could get very ragged and I've seen far worse Everton teams than this trouble far better City teams at Goodison.

DMs two banks of four - may last for a while, but here's hoping - they are a class side two fast wingers too , but you never know if we get anything it has to be a late goal for us ...
