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

[JammyP]

One thing is for certain, the defensive wall HAS to start, even if it means pushing Lucas up.
This is going to be a backs to the wall horror show.

A backs to the wall fun fest

Luckily they have a special on brillo scouring pads this week so soaked and cured in Formaldehyde the night before should get me through to half time.

No keeper.. that's a brave call.

Can’t just give up the midfield. Have to fight them.
Olsen
Godfrey, Keane, Mina, Digne
Doucoure, Allan, Davies
James, Richy
CL

I think this needs to be the side for the next 2 games if possible.

An unconventional line up to confuse a manager who uses unconventional line ups to confuse the opposition manager......so:

Pickford. Olsen

Hibbert. Coleman. Holgate. Keane. Branthwaite. Mina. Godfrey. Digne.


Cenk/Bernard


Go for the surprise element.

In my best Alf Ramsey voice - "I um firmly believe we er can um overcome this City side and er emerge the eventual winners of the um football match".

 

[R.Reddington]

We have absolutely no chance here (on paper), we couldn't even score past West Ham, Newcastle or Fulham ffs so I can't see us doing anything here. This season has been a mad one so you never know but I just can't see us even getting a point. I think City will dominate the whole game in terms of possession and chances and we will try to hit them from set pieces and on the break. If you asked me a week ago which game I was more confident of getting a result from, Fulham or City, I would've genuinely said City as we just can't beat the gash teams at home. 1-3 prediction, we might even score first but I think City's quality will be too much. They're class this season.

 

[Bullens Rd]

Going for 4:0 to them. Maybe a sending off for us out of frustration.

 

[Furey1878]

Olsen
Godfrey----Mina---Keane----Digne
Davies
Doucoure-------------Allan
James
King-----Richy​

Just got to be positive and hope for a reaction

Get behind the boys and hopefully dcl, Allan, Keane and Mina return to the first team and king gets a chance as well

 

[Igrok]

Solid 1-0...surprised Pep with excuses...

 

[Khalekan]

To be honest, I am more confident of getting a result here than I was versus Fulham.

Their winning run has to end sometime.

We’ll up our game and win/draw.

16 wins on the trot for city. Everton completely turned over by a Fulham side that hadn’t won in 12 or something. Yet we’ll just up our game and win/draw. Gotta respect your optimism but I don’t see a world where we don’t get smashed.

 

[BlueInNZ]

Honestly havent a clue how this will turn out. We cant score against likes of Newcastle and Fulham but can put 8 past Man U and Spurs.
