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

[Steve EFC]

A whipping boy now, but always good to remind the denizens of this august forum that Holgate was once very popular here...

That was when he was young and a prospect… now he’s just a bit of a liability.

Foden & Mahrez are gonna be an issue all afternoon.

 

[Drico]

Has Myko been dropped? Or injured? Not complaining just out of interest.

Strained his thing cavorting with Dana International and Conchita Würst at Eurovision last night...

 

[Runub]

DCL looks very sharp these days

 

[tommye]

Dom makes such a difference to us.

He always was. Some of us said so at the time.

 

[carolinablue232]

So good for Dom there

 

[Shibbywiggles]

What's Bainesy doing?

I’d rather have Hinchliffe at LB than co-commentary

Man City are just so much better at dealing with counter attacks than Brighton.

Walker's pace alone helps hugely.

 

[Mozza1987]

Very good start

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Not a bad first 12 minutes really. City with loads of the ball but restricted them to very little so far.

So was Tom Davies.

Mykolenko is missing from the matchday squad, injury seems most likely although my money is on Eurovision afterparty.

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Having one of our CMs go out to back up a full back is necessary but terrifying. They then pack the middle and we look short when it comes back in.

Benefit of having threatening wingers I guess.
