Did it follow from a Franny Lee dive?

Be interesting to see how the Sky/ EPL ‘handicappers’ view this one. A win for us blows the title race WIDE OPEN (sigh…) so 2-0 to us, both pens, City have 2 disallowed….

 

[Toffeelover]

1-1

I like your sense of humour.

 

[maccavennie]

3-1 to Everton. Mykolenko with all 3.

Think we'll lose but hopefully not by loads. Just get it out of the way and start climbing again.

It's a shame we have to view a game against City at home as a "free hit" type of game, but it is what it is. All I can really say right now is the pressure is on for them more than it is for us. Hopefully that plays into our hands.

Yes went in off his nose

Suits our style. They can have 80% tippy tappy possession and we can have 20% possession and actually do something with the ball. This is the death knell as I never fancy us to win, but after yesterday's game if we can repeat that and play with good intensity I think we can win. I think City have been poor this season, and they've replaced very good players with moderate ones.

I disagree; if we start like we played yesterday from the 20th minute mark, we will win!

The game where for all the optimism fans will need to stay the course. Because I can't see anything other than a heavy defeat.

That said, yesterday was very encouraging. I had us slated for a 4-0 hiding after the cup disappointment, and I was feeling sadly vindicated after 20 minutes. We fought back, though, and played with spirit. That's all we can truly demand of this set of honest, but ordinary, footballers. Credit to the manager. Doing stellar work.

Nevertheless, whisper it: we can't honestly expect to come away from a game like that if we are going to gift our opponents a two-goal head start. That bit has been forgotten in the pleasant surprise that we didn't capitulate.

So, all things considered, I think we're heavily up against it versus the best club side on the planet. Let's get into them and take our free hit. Wolves a few days later will be a better barometer of where we are really at.

 

[blue to the bone]

We will need to play well to get something. But they might be a little off after their travels.
But I'm not dreading it which is a big change from previous years

Gomes in for Gana. Danjuma comes in for Harrison at hour mark. 2-0 Everton

I think they’re hatred or disgust for our defiance in not accepting the relation they were aiming for will outweigh there want for an open title race .

I mean, they deffo don’t want villa to win it so if they can have city, rs and the arse above them that would be preferable until United sort themselves out

Due a win against these. Been a while.
