Take a look at Pep on Saturday.
He will manage Everton one day. Sooner than you think.
You heard it here first.

Now that really would be a scoop...

He will be managing us on Saturday, he will dictate our tactics and line-up. He will be directing Fat Sam as to where to park the bus.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

The BFS likely line up;

Pickford
Coleman Keane Jag Baines
Shniederlin Rooney
Davies
Walcott Tosun Bolasie

We will get mullered right through the middle - Citeh must be quaking at the thought of Williams not playing for us.

 

[Jeff Jones]

We've got a decent record against these - unbeaten in the last 4 league matches, I think - and Goodison has been a bit of a fortress
for a few months now. Not saying we will get anything, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Having said all that, I checked the odds yesterday. $1.35 them $7.30 us $4. odd the draw.

I'm gonna be freezing my arse off on the isle of Skye so missing this one- but will watch the Man City v Man City on my BT app.

 

[BigBlueConk]

They will feel they owe us after last season.
Sam will play for 0-0.
We concede in the first ten minutes and it never gets any better after that.

Might just nick this one y'know. They have "bigger fish to fry" as it were.

 

[sixtynineseventy]

Hope they will be frying Red Snapper next week!!!!!!

Lets be honest, only losing by 2 would be a good result. A draw would be amazing.

Dont tackle them. Leave them in peace. No injuries for them and allow them safe passage through to the CL game.

We need to focus instead on the derby and how best to scupper Liverpool's chances.

There is a reasonable chance that hardly any of their starters this weekend will play against that lot anyrate.

Great BT ad advertising the match. No bias whatsoever.

It's as if they're advertising a match in which Manchester City will run around the pitch for 90 minutes, completely unopposed...

I hope not. It'd be nice to get the points against a very weakened team. They can afford that. Liverpool on the other hand will have to come at us with their best XI given their position. Hopefully we can take on or two out in the derby (not serious injury of course, just out fir a few games). You can guarantee they'd do it to us.

I think we are saying the same thing!
