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

Was there any point in signing Martina. I'm not a fan but he attacks better than Holgate. It's very defensive with Holgate in. Glad DCL is playing, he can hold the ball up well, and works hard.

Sandro must be still injured.

That

No mate

 

[Bilko]

if we go at them, they'd rip us apart, get to the hour mark still in the game, the home fans getting frustrated and who knows ?. sometimes we don't half whinge, we've a good squad and we're using it given the next 7 days.

 

[Thomasc]

anyone who can get us to finish 7th.

which is a lot of managers.

Have you been at Monday club lad?

2nd game of the season, yest to concede in a competitive fixture this season and you still want the manager out.

jesus!

 

[ProZ]

Sane plays RWB, not Danilo. Sane is pretty crap at defending so we might exploit that.

Yes hopefully we can get in behind with some pace, oh hang on.

Davies had success against these guys. I think Koeman wants to see if he can retain that confidence from last year. He should be starting ahead of Klassen today regardless, but I am concerned that we have no speedster in the lineup. We might see Gueye make some sneaky runs forward

 

[Death]

I was reading a few pages and some doubt crept in for a fraction of a second. Then I remembered Ronald Koeman manages us not you doom monkeys.

 

[MikeH72]

No mate

Yes

 

[TheBigIguana]

dont watch it then...simples lad

I meant more from a neutral point of view

 

[Efcjake]

That is possibly the strangest starting 11 section I've seen in Koeman's time here.

I love the way we play non-wingers on the wing pyar total voetball der.

 

[Professor Toffee]

Well going all guns at them definitely wouldn't work.

So all spoons instead lol

Have you been at Monday club lad?

2nd game of the season, yet to concede in a competitive fixture this season and you still want the manager out.

jesus!

Oh boy

 

[ToffeeDan]

Not a bad idea having a lot of pace and young legs on the pitch .. support Rooney with Tom and DCL - Holgate instead of Cuco (whom I said should be a home call as he can be a bit of a liability against possession). Anyway it's a tough game but we've got a plan. With Gylfi not match fit yet and Davy still finding his way I like this line up (though I might have gone for Lookman over DCL.. we will see).

 

[blulouie]

Yes

Na

It's like taking rusty forks to a bonfire party.

Or something.
