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

[Sporting Billy]

If we do lose as I expect, it’s massively important we keep the goal diff down. This could be vital if we end up on the same points as Leeds.

 

[God Benfrey]

Need a win here for our late European charge and I'm sure ginger mourinho will deliver. Everton 2-0 city, iwobi x2

 

[Andy is the King]

An absolute miserable 0-0 will give me an erection for weeks

What will a 1 - 0 victory do?

Mrs Nymzee might not be able to walk for a while.

 

[Rodebaard]

Going to be tough this. But surely tempting to play Godfrey in a 5 to sit on Haaland and wind him up all game, just for a laugh if nothing else.

I should be so lucky. My bday isn't till November.

Whoever didn't watch last night you are banned from watching any of the remaining fixtures.

 

[Gareth Gibson]

This idea that attaining a draw against City at home is beyond the realms of possibility is absurd.

We drew with them at the Etihad just a few months.

With the Goodison crowd right behind the players anything is possible.

Having said that, after our stunning win yesterday we now don't HAVE to get a result against City. I just hope we don't lose by a cricket score. That could really damage the morale of the lads and undo all the hard work that was done at Brighton.

 

[Goat]

Still cant believe they changed the date of this game practically the same day I booked a few days away with the Wife.

Im gonna be walking around the middle of Wales looking for a pub showing the match.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

You know what? I really don't think it'll be a mauling anymore. In addition, who knows what could happen if we apply ourselves like we did v Brighton.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

We ain't getting beat....UTFT.

 

[jazzy]

I now that City's 2nd XI will batter most teams , us included , but I'd rather face them than KdB , Haaland etc so I hope that City's CL Semi is still in the balance before next weeks 2nd leg.

 

[Pittsburgh Footy]

City are tough to play when they have their eye on the title - they just grind out results.

A 1-1 draw would be an incredible result. I think we will play very tough, but fall 2-0.

I will forget that it's way off lol

Dyche record v Guardiola - played 15, drew 1 lost 14

hopefully they narrowly lose tonight and need their best players fit and ready for the 2nd leg.

City can afford to drop points in 1 game anyway, let it be this one please
