2-2. Barkley scores late.

It will have to be in the 99th minute, but then again........

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

Terrified, journey home is going to be the best in years or I'm going to be pondering how our season is probably over.

 

[bluewally]

no alcaraz or howard improve our odds

Who says Howard wont play? This just became a very important match to Martinez and we know who his first choice keeper is

 

[Brendan Janus]

Funny feeling it's going to be kiev away all over again, hope i'm wrong but not overly confident...

Nor me mate !!

Anyone know how good the view is from tier 3?

Hey bro. Don't forget the possible Carlisle calamity!

If he's not fit could we possibly play Stones in a holding role or is that just too Football Manager esque chat?

Actually, playing Jags and RFM together with Stonesy ahead alongside Gareth Barry might work. Stonesy wants to play football all the time and a midfield role might just suit him ?

The first leg at Goodison was just as important, and Robles played, Martinez also must know, if he put Howard in he would get crucified.

Watched City play on Saturday. We're gonna smash them all over the shop on Wed.

After yesterdays performance vs Swansea, i hope i am wrong but i expect a 3-1 or 3-0 City

You reckon we will play a strong side on Wednesday night and rest players on Sunday afternoon game.

I think the importance of this game to Martinez specifically went up after the display yesterday. He's been crucified for picking howard all season. He is blind to criticism

 

[Skeleton Crew]

Correct me if I am wrong but if Everton score an away goal then City would need to win 3-1 to go through on aggregate right?


I dont care who is in goal for us we can do a bang average job and get through this.
Start OSMAN and HIBBERT

Nah Carlos mate, I reckon we will put out a full-strength team for both, but with Joel in goal.

I think the flat performance against Swansea and the realisation that we will be miles from 5th place come end of season will deliver us the cup double.

Then we might get relegated.
