Match Thread Everton V Manchester City - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[R.Reddington]

What was the point in signing King if we aren't going to play him when DCL can't. Waste of time.

Probably wasn’t a Carlo signing then was he? Clearly if he’s not coming straight in despite being fit then he doesn’t fancy him. Sounds like a panic signing that.

Itll be a ridiculously hard game regardless of what team we put out, let’s get behind them and hope for a big performance.

 

[Jim Hopper]

Wheres Fabian Allan?

 

[R.Reddington]

Wheres Fabian Allan?

Probably picked up another injury

 

[maccavennie]

What subs do we have?

 

[Efcjake]

TBH it's the team I wanted - apart from Iwobi for James and King should be playing instead of Captain Casper

So not the team you wanted then

 

[Jim Hopper]

What subs do we have?

Two keepers mate so all good!

 

[bigboy]

Ooofff that team tho

 

[BlueStevie35]

3 at the back and no striker again. We are getting humped.

Not 3 at the back, it’s the 4 CB defence with Digne and Iwobi either side of Richy

Should have started this team against Fulham instead really.

We would have still been in trouble. The reason Fulham beat us so badly is they didn't respect us at all. They came in, pressed wildly and dominated the game. This doesn't do a ton to fix those problems.

 

[Quadvod]

Anyone else think holgate is lucky to be in the side - been really poor of late for me

 

[Eggs]

Allan hurt again?

...I just thought it odd he wasn’t on the training video pre-Fulham if he was ‘back but not ready until City game’.

Unless Allan has had a relapse, Ancelotti either doesn’t have an idea about injury situation or is giving misinformation to the opposition.

Well the alternative is Coleman so I know who I would rather pick.

 

[coollino]

He better not be chewing gum again!

 

[arch stanton]

Thats that then. Just a matter of how many.

I don't think we'll score that many mate, one or two perhaps.
