Match Thread Everton v Manchester City, Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Alan Whittle]

Listening to the Talksport commentary on the way back from Palace. Sounds like a good half but if Tyldsley mentions the RS again I’ll go mad.

 

[MartSlinger]

Would get Gray on for Iwobi ASAP tbh.

Lampard seems to have got some passion into this crowd of scared rabbits.

Helps that he’s taken the leashes off and let them venture into the attacking third every now and then

 

[aglee]

I’d go as far as to say some of the shouts on here that we may have a chance are actually underselling us! We’re more than in this game, and though the sensible money would probably still be on a City win for most, I’d say we have a real opportunity to get something from this game

 

[Blue Roo]

Gray on for Iwobi and we could do this

 

[lungo]

What baffles me is how we play like this one week but against Southampton we looked amateur at times. Doing well though. We might even nick this.

A bit to early to be that optimistic. We will struggle big time to keep the pressure up. Remember we are the most unfit team in the league!

 

[Curtis]

I hope Allan doesn't go off injured we've actually been playing decent , and I credit that to us employing a midfield three setup

 

[Bristol Blue]

Expect us to still lose, but we’ve been superb and couldn’t have asked for much more

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

When 45 minutes came I was expecting the inevitable, but happy to say it didn't happen. Another 45 minutes of the same please Blues

 

[Fansince1988]

A good thing that Bambi isnt there. His only contribution thins coming back has been gifting villa 3 points. Richarlison is only motivated when he he is the only forward!

Exactly this

 

[maccavennie]

Would get Gray on for Iwobi ASAP tbh.

I'd normally agree but the worry I've got is can Doucoure last 90 minutes? Gordon tends to tire around 75m and Allan already looked pretty goosed didn't he for those last 10 minutes.

He's got to get the subs absolutely spot on this evening.

 

[carolinablue232]

I hope Allan doesn't go off injured we've actually been playing decent , and I owe that to a midfield three setup

Allan has been excellent and having a runner back in there with Doucs makes a huge difference.

 

[Frenk]

It’s great to see Gordon starting to live up to his talent.

 

[Sassy Colombian]

It's the Goodison factor. Doesn't work anywhere else. Not this season anyway.

The Goodison factor is magical! They really have become the 12th men ever since Frank too over.

 

[Blue Roo]

Douc - Alan - DVB

When did Sig or Gomes ever made that run that DVB did
