Man City v Everton. 15th Oct at 1500.

[Wensleydale Blue]

Cleverly will make us more solid in the middle and he's better at winning the ball. Then we can use Gerry, Bolasie and Rom on the break to get the goals.

Wow after seeing their team it's clear Pep is looking to give us a hiding in this game.

Hopefully his over confidence will be their undoing otherwise we could get embarrassed.[/QUOTE]

They might score six but so could we - three at the back for City and no full backs up against the pace of Del and Bolasie. There's goals in this for us if the real Rom turns up.

Cleverley.

That is all.

Scores the winner.

 

[Kev50]

We have competition for places. Well no quality competition. Just a stack of awful dross.

what, on earth, are you talking about?

 

[snipellis11]

Why our fans slate our own players before the game has even started is beyond me.

 

[Wat Tyler]

He's magic, y'know...

 

[Barnfred 55]

Lineup absolutely screams "we'll park the bus and play hoofball".

City have picked a hugely attacking formation. Three at the back with two out and out wingers as wing backs. If we ever manage to get the ball back off them they could be very vulnerable to the counter attack. This has the makings of a very high scoring game which I think, sadly, we'll be on the wrong end of.

 

[Goat]

Scores the winner.

That goes without saying.

 

[Steve Wigan]

If we win this,it will be down the flanks. Two top managers showing obvious tactical awareness. This is going to be fascinating and the whole contest looks like it will ooze top quality. Just the selection made by Koeman suggests that he is very close to absolute top of the range as a manager/coach/tactician. He is also brave, and knows exactly what he wants. The rebuilding of Everton on the pitch has only just started.

Is Kev injured?

Yes the bench looks better!

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

We look vulnerable to their attack no doubt... But that City defense is awful.
If our front 3 are on it we could score a bagful.

Do these Everton.

 

[Ring master]

Aguero is still a lot better though

everyone knows that,but how many times does a player takeover someone better,and alway score v us etc

 

[bluestevon]

No idea if we will play three cms or cleverly wide with del off Rom, be interesting also see it when we line up

 

[Joey66]

I thought our substitutes list looked pretty strong......

yes thats my worry some of them should be in the team oviedo no legs - clev instead of RB?????????????????

 

[Joey66]
