Match Thread Everton v Man City - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Death]

Lying on your back and getting a good belly tiglet is underrated. It's easy and a good stress release.

 

[Strikinglyhandsome1]

I dont think we will win that one

We may have to at this rate.

 

[billyblue80]

I am not going to watch and hope our gang of weapons at least try.

 

[TheNinja]

Don't even want to think what the scoreline might be in this one. Money on a City goal in the first 10 minutes though.

 

[orly]

Double figure defeat please Everton

Boo our own lot every time they pass forward

 

[Greengrass]

My starting line up and subs:

Pickford​

Kenny Keane Zouma Digne
Gomes
Davies Gana
Bernard
Cenk Richarlson
​

Virginia
McCarthy
Lookman
DCL
Schniederlin
Jags/Mina
Coleman

• Digne returns from suspension
• Sigurdsson told to stay home
• Kenny gets the start
• Gana brought back in
• New formation:
  • Overload the mid and don’t allow them to play through the center
  • Gomes stays home as the deep playmaker providing a link between defense and mid
  • Gana/Davies allowed to roam wider and cover fullbacks on defense but stay narrower on the attack
  • Fullbacks to push forward into spaces left by Gana and Davies pinning back their wingers/ requiring more support from their fullbacks
  • Bernard has complete freedom to show up where needed and link mid to attack
  • Cenk pushes the line deep while Richarlson plays just off him and in front of the line
• Subs:
  • Lookman on for Bernard/Cenk for better link up/formation change
  • McCarthy on for Bernard if somehow tied or winning to tighten up the midfield
  • DCL on for Cenk if not performing and keeping formation
  • Virginia, Schniederlin, Coleman, Jags/Mina all unused subs

And Peps team talk will be _ Just go out and enjoy yourself. Stay in second gear, cos that's all you need to do. Rain set pieces into the 18 yard box, AND when you get to six goals relax.!

Applaud all undefended set pieces.

Man City looking ominous on MOTD.

Still, glad to see other teams apart from us making a hash of zonal marking.

 

[carolinablue232]

Applaud all undefended set pieces.

So applaud all of them? Fans will lose their voices.
