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

Strangely, I am not that worried about the match. Based on absolutely nothing.

We gotta have a go ain't we? Let's not leave ourselves open at the back but we gotta test them, this early in the season before things click perfectly.

We're wearing these dapper things tonight with 'a slightly modified version of Manchester’s iconic worker bee emblem' on them.

Look lovely, but can anyone enlighten me as to the significance of the emblems?

Absolutely love that shirt.

Me too - Smartest we've had for years

Pickford.
Holgate Keane Jagielka Baines
Gana Schneids Davies
Mirallas Sandro Rooney

DCL to start if Sandro fails fitness test

Sub Klaassen for Davies after 60. Gylfi for Rooney after 75. Lookman for Kev just so we can see him storm off again

2-1 City.

Worse than the actual match......lol

I sure hope I don't have to sit through another ninety minutes like this fixture last season.

That was the longest ninety minutes ever

Expect more of the same I'm afraid mate. Then you wont be too disappointed when it happens.

Nice shirt. Good luck.

First time at the Emptihad for me. Looking forward to it actually, think we can get something from this.

 

[Barnfred 55]

Didn't see Sandro there. Pity.

City will be at full strength as they always seem to be against us.

Well at least they wont have Messi, which maybe they will have for the Goodison match, if reports today are to be believed.

Shirt looks quality, hopefully we can do these. Narrow win 2-1, Rooney to knock in no 200.
