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

[TyphooToffee]

Not that far fetched, their squad is ridiculous this season.

I'm expecting absolute domination and a dose of reality

But 5?

Going for two nil to them. Pickford MoM. Then a draw against Split.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Pickford, Martina, Keane, Williams, Jags, Baines, Morgan and Gana ...... I see another clean sheet.

I don't think @longers expects clean sheets, he's already crapping himself

I don't think @longers expects clean sheetsf

Indeed but there will be lots of piss stained sheets in the match thread after the games finished.

 

[toffeejack]

Peps just said a load of injuries worries

that makes two of us then with coleman, mori, mccarthy, barkley, bolasie and sandro currently on the crock list for us.

Everton will win 1 - 0 in Pickford's first legendary Everton match of many.

Someone will then come on here and explain that it all really means Koeman has us headed straight down since we had no possession in the match and beat City 4 - 0 the last time we met.

Who might that be? We shall see.

Can I guess?

Im going for a 1-1. I couldn't stand City under the Moyes years, but now I couldn't care. It just makes me laugh everytime we win or draw coz they really can't stand us.

Hope it's the same back 4 that played last night with Gana sat in front of them. I thought Martina did ok getting forward and him and Lookman gave us some width. It'd be a mistake to play 3 CBs in this one as Jags and Williams will struggle against City's attack IMO.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Some idiot on Talk Sport just said City would win 5-2. No wonder they call it The Fool's Panel!

Yeah... four competitive matches and four clean sheets... bound to ship five in the next one right? Especially considering City managed only two goals at Brighton!

Think we'll lose tbh but more of a 2-1

 

[Shibbywiggles]

To be fair city away was an unreal performance from Stek last season! If Pickford beats that it'll be some performance!

 

[TheBigIguana]

I would like for us to go for it more than we did away from home against the sides above us last season. If we get turned over then whatever but have a go

 

[moyes cardy]

Simply can't play Klasson in this one!

 

[GwladysBlue]

Can't see anything but a defeat here. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[JLW]

We need pace in this game for the counter attack!
