Match Thread Everton v Manchester City 31st March KO 17:30

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

So are we saying 6 or 7 nil?

No they'll take it easy
Big game during the week

5 I'm guessing

 

[ToffeeTim]

We've decided not to play a midfield against the best technical side in the world.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

What would be more enjoyable? A plucky 1-1 or a calamitous 5-0 reverse featuring all sorts of crazy defending?

We’ll need to take Schniederlin off immediately if we want pluck

 

[kenada_blue]

Blame him when the whole defence stood of and baines watched sane and gave him all the space

He let a midfielder just run past him into the box. He does it all the time...doesn do track runners

 

[matty1878]

It's going to be a long match...

Indeed

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Was laughing with DCL I think it was sort of standing in front of their man on the edge of our box, no pressure whatsoever, Schneiderlin nowhere to be seen, 10 seconds later it's in the net.

He let a midfielder just run past him into the box. He does it all the time...doesn do track runners

Still it’s not just him to blame for the goal

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Rooney showing why he shouldn't be playing in a midfield pairing.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Always ant n dec to look forward to

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Who actually laughed when the ball went in? I know I did.

 

[ChesterBlue]

Ha, god we're gonna get hammered

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Didnt think we'd ever have a worse CM than Heitinga an Phil Neville.

Schneiderlin and Rooney could push them close.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

It's going to be a long match...

probably just 90 minutes as usual + injury time.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Beer time

There's a Bavarian evening of music, sausages and beer on the cruise ship after dinner tonight. I think I'll start ahead of it!

 

[USABlue]

Like the beard for wayne
