A successful visit, going 2-1 for Everton. We take the points and flee as quickly as we can.......

Best time to play them before they're properly up to speed. I hope Ron has a plan to go there and try to win it because their defense is the weak point. If we try and go there and just keep it tight they'll pick us apart sooner or later, their attacking options are just too good.

I agree with that, our three Europa matches mean our new players have had more time to gel than theirs.

Zip zip written all over it.

Watch as we knock their gash defence all over the shop before their attack even get into the game

 

[TrixyStevens]

Merson reckons 3-0 to citeh. The fat gimp.

Just go there and give it a go. We should be ahead of them fitness wise due to the EL, why not have a pop at them? Got some proper ball players here now .

We were gash once he went off yesterday. Very good player who gets his foot on the ball and keeps possession. He'll be playing don't you worry.

Last game of the weekend with a comfortable Home win predicted by many. Accy buster written all over it. 3pts to Everton and a shedload of lost bets.

I'm not going to fake optimism just so some blues on the internet can go "good lad".

I am though. 2-1 to us. No sweat.

 

[Steve Wigan]

1-0 to Everton. Stones farts about on the edge of the City penalty area ,and is robbed by Keane, who slots. Easy.

Sorry mate no where near ready - the difference second half was MS going off not him - game passes him by.

Agree on the importance of Morgan Schneiderlin. Completely disagree on Klaasen. Yeah he's not fired on full cylinders and scored stacks of goals but he's a smart footballer. Plays one and 2 touch and he offers the link between the midfield/full backs and the attack. I think he'll be great here.
