Can't afford any passengers tonight so for God's sake please make Ghanas car break down on route.

Think he'll be out injured anyway mate

Today is the last game for us (Game 19) before the 5 yellows make a 1 game ban ends - IE if Young Plays and is booked, he is banned for one game for example - (Doucoure did have 4 yellows). It will then go to 10 yellows accumulated in 32 games (Burnley 6th April) for a 2 game ban


Players who have most yellows for us
Gueye 6
Branthwaite 5
Young & Doucoure 4

2-1 to us.

I believe we will have 0 points reinstated. Another kick in the guts.

I reckon they will keep the initial 6 pts for us going over and drop the pts for the every £5m we went over.

comfortable city win. no shame in it they are the best team in the world.

i hope we just have a go, treat it for what it is, a free hit.

be gutted if we just roll over and let them tickle our bellies and win by 3/4 goals. rather we get battered and have a go

I think the wind will be a big factor tonight, the forecast is for heavy rain and strong winds, lets hope we can deal with it.

Horrible weather, a mental night-time Goodison, lets give them a proper welcome home from the sun. UTFT

• Everton have won just one of their past 20 Premier League games against Manchester City (drawn five, lost 14) and are winless in 12 against them since a 4-0 victory in January 2017.

Doesn't seem that long ago we had a decent record v them. Clearly it is

Probably this. Which would be fine. Just keep the performance levels high, and injured players recovering in the background.

They used to be ultra patient, knowing eventually they will break through with a moment of magic, or a defensive mistake following unrelenting pressure. But after dropping so many points, they are approaching things a bit differently, mentally. I think if we go back to our pre Spurs defensive focus, the longer they don’t score it could get interesting.

I’ll be very very excited if Beto is warming up after 70mins and it’s still 0-0. Particularly if Keane isn’t warming up.

Probably favours a Dyche side tbh over City, they mightn't fancy it

No rain forecast according to BBC but a bit of wind

I understand what you said and I know its still early but I live about 4 miles away from the ground and its pouring down with rain right now, 2pm.

 

[wellillwill]

Match's at 4:15 am. Should I set the alarm?

Good chance you'll be back in bed by 4:30 am?

 

[Nightman]

I expect a loss.

But if we beat them imagine Luton, Burnley and Sheff United...they'd capitulate mentally.

Nope.

These teams are chasing down Forest and Palace. And they’ve known this for a good few weeks now.

You should watch an Everton game once in a while.

 

[Mashtray]

This current Everton team, with Dyche will make every game a battle and that's all we ask. Excited to see us play
