Just stop City from playing.

I reckon go for it because City can be just as dodgy as us at the back. Also, I reckon they will bench Toure, Aguero (fingers crossed) and maybe a couple more first teamers.

 

[By god I'm blue]

After yesterday, I would like to see the following side - with Besic in to sit on Silva if he is playing or if not then De Bruyne. Del and or Mirallas to be released into the game later on when legs are a bit more tired. Lennon to offer protection to Coleman in dealing with Sterling, as both of them are as quick as him.

-------------------Robles---
Coleman----Stones----Mori----Baines
------------Besic---------Barry---------
Lennon--------Barkley--------Cleverley
------------------Lukaku-----------------

Keep it tight and try and sneak a win to go into the second leg with.

We will win this, Barkley hattrick nailed on.

I agree with this line up, I'd have Lennon on to nullify Kolarov more than pineapple head, then get Del on for the last 30 mins like yesterday.

Please just do this Everton.

Let me dream!

 

[Pabbers]

Can we not play both games away ???

I'm quietly confident for this one. Obviously hoping for a win at Goodison but a draw wouldn't be the end of the world, would mean City having to come at us at the Etihad and that plays into our hands for the counter.

My team:

Joel
Coleman, Funes Mori, Stones, Baines
Barry Besic
Deulofeu Barkley Cleverley
Lukaku

Howard, Lennon, Mirallas, Galloway, Kone, Osman, McCarthy (don't play him till 100% fit possibly in the second leg)

But because its Martinez and he wants to use the squaaad it will more likely be....
------Howard------
Colemn - Stones - Funes Mori - Baines
Barry - Gibson
Lennon - Osman - Kone
Naismith
