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

[Bob Latchford]

Not much excitement in that line up
It's looking like an attritional 90 mins ahead

Think that's the only thing in our favour tonight mate.

That's quite a big thing though, loads of games are won in midfield. I'll stick to my prediction, i think you will get a result tonight, most likely a draw

 

[ijjysmith]

take rooney out of the team and the rest of them must have about 20 PL goals between them, grim

And we'd be down to 10 men.

So much hate.

 

[Connor]

Oh christ, not in the face.

Ronald Pulis.

@DownOnTheUpside won't be happy - 3 centre-backs! ;-)

Think Lookman would have troubled these big style.

 

[lancs blue]

Carragher and neville yawnville. Makes songs of praise look like alien resurrection

I worry about our ability to have any possession with the lack of passing ability in our back line

 

[tim cahill]

Well I don't think we could name a more defensive team than that! Showing them a bit too much respect imo.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I think we will be okay. Koeman has no qualms changing his system if things go awry.

 

[Efcjake]

This is one of the first games where we really get to see what Keane and Pickford are capable of.
