Match Thread Everton Vs Manchester City - Capital One Cup - Semi Final 1st Leg - Wednesday 6th January - 20:00 KO

[JoshBarkley7]

The team I want to see:

Robles

Coleman, Stones, Funes, Baines

Besic, Barry, Cleverley

Geri, Rom, Lennon

Think Barkley needs a rest. He's had a poor spell (by his standards) for a while now, and Lennon has looked lively recently.

No a change mate.

Sound that. Agree with virtually everything apart from mirallas and dulofeau on the wings, I'd play Cleverley left instead of Kone, either mirallas or gerri on the other.

COYB, play like Spuds 2nd half and not 1st half

 

[Blues Harp]

drop flappy for Joel, put Geri on the bench, Besic and Mirallas to start......keep it tight and win 1-0 (Lukaku)

Ta mate. You're probably right about Mirallas and Deulofeu. I get over excited and if I was boss is play them every game! Good job I'm not really.

...up the Toffees. We are capable, we are a great club who can get results in cups against the very best. On a personal note it would be good for pay back for the Tommy Booth moment but I don't mean that in a bitter way.

I'd have this but Mirallas for Lennon.

I thought he was brilliant on Sunday.

...I have to say that I'm as interested in their line up as ours. Without Kompany we can get at their 2 CBs but that will be more difficult if they play 2 defensive midfielders as opposed to the normal one. Although Toure is still capable of brilliance he struggles to get around the pitch. With the right selection we can go into the 2nd leg still very much in the tie.

Good luck fellas. Hopefully you will get the rugger team in the final although you would probably fancy yourself against the RS at the moment.

.....well done yesterday, apart from the obvious performances of Ali and Carroll I was most impressed with Alderweireld. Spurs looked a good side and were able to mix it in the 2nd half when we had a real go. Let's hope we return to form for City.

 

[Merseyzig]

Brooding optimism, am looking at hotels and trains for the weekend of the final!
Anybody know what time kickoff is for the final on Feb 28th?


Obviously any bookings I make will have full refund upon cancellation just in case we don't make it. But we will.

Won't we?

This is the type of game where Goodison won't be stressing about league points and will be more inclined to get behind the team, which will help. We just need the referee to tick her off early doors (without the decision being a red/pen, obviously) and City could be in for a long night. The game means more to us than it does to them.

As long as we play like we know how much it means, that'll do me.

I hope either Mirallas or Cleverley play on the left. I'll be disappointed if it's Kone.
