Match Thread Manchester City v Everton (Mon 21 Aug 2017, 20:00)

[Eggs]

This lot aren't all that. Just go at them defend from the front and pressure their naff defence. Just got to hope they don't outscore us

...I think they've just spent a couple of quid on that defence.

 

[Bluedave]

I can can't see the Blues shading it, I think we'll only get a draw. You do realise we play in blue too?

Yeah I realise we both play in blue, just my way of saying I never call these games right. Went to Goodison last season, thought we played o.k., lost 4-0!....hey ho.

Mendy and Walker are unlikely to play, their centre halfs are still the same as last season, we just need to work out who we can play up front...

"Naff defence", you do realise that we have a certain John Stones in there don't you?

He's terrible.

Yes, and thank you for paying nearly £50m for the misfortune of having him!

How much, £50 million...yer havin' a laff!

We are going to take a pasting here

 

[Bally8]

Williams will be exposed for the ale house defender he is here.

Also feel like these are the games when the ball goes upfront it has to stick we don't have anyone to do that.

Tim Cahill still play for you Bally?, sick to death of seeing him battering our corner flags!

Think we will do fine myself....Pickford and Keane give me immense hope.

 

[larbert toffee]

We have every reason to be confident in this one,we gave them a lesson at Goodison last season.

 

[cromofo]

First real test this

 

[allen]

After seeing us in the first half on Thursday, I'm much more hopeful that we'll get something out of this.

We've had four competitive matches, and they've had one. That has to mean something.

Stones backpass to Sandro thank you very glad.
