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

This is why we need to bring in at least a couple more players. We really shot ourselves in the foot when we didn't get that 3rd goal

tbf we have coleman, mori, barkley and bolasie on long term injuries as well as sandro and mccarthy currently out. It's a pretty deep squad including everyone.

Its frustrating how you can spend 100 odd million pounds and still not be able to go head to head with these sickeningly rich clubs, football is a bit dead in the water really isn't it, still, COYB.

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.

...if you watched the first half of Stoke, you will notice the threat they had with Pieters getting in behind DCL and Keane. City will really exploit that which is why I think he's gone for Holgate to plug that gap. Very defensive. I think the plan is to frustrate City but if they score early on there could be trouble ahead.

I honestly thought RK would save Sandro for Thursday although I wouldn't know the extent of his injury.

@mikeh72
Actually for all the Billions and superstar squad City have....Otamendi Kompany & Stones .....now thats funny.

Hahah Carragher is so bad, it cheers me up every time I see him swallowing his way through his blundering punditry.

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!

team selections like tonight have him on the hot seat for me, yes.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Thursday is more important. What a horrible week we have! City, Croatia, Chelsea haha.

 

[Frank Butcher]

Could we have lubed up anymore for an utter shafting?


BOOOOOO...

Think City may find it difficult to get round the two parked bus's in front of them though jal.

Their Midfield is pretty light weight though, very easy to be overrun

 

[mightymoyes]

think one of our nine defensive players will get a red card tonight

 

[harris78]

Now in the stadium and seen the team news....FFS. Longest 90 minutes of my life coming up.

Still Rooney first goalscorer 1-0 win 75-1

 

[KaiserEFC]

Oh man that is not the team I wanted

 

[Duncan Disordely]

It's been far far worse

It's deep, but injuries are part of football. Europa could be a thorn in our side if we don't rest players enough.

 

[blulouie]

when Martinez was on the ropes we didn't exactly know that Koeman or anyone else would be hired. Any decent manager should and would get us to finish 7th. The likes of Pulis and Allardyce with the money we have would probably get us to 7th ffs.

Oh my.
