Match Thread Manchester City v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[gonetomorrow]

Not an auspicious start.

 

[Prevenger17]

Sack off that box play. Get into their makeshift defence ASAP.

Aye, I'd be loafing it up the field and letting DCL and Richy torment them

 

[WeAreEvertonians]

Get in!

What’s this all about? Chief.

 

[ValBlue]

Because Walcott is so bad that Carlo would rather field Davies.

I knew it was coming as soon as I posted Walcott’s name lol still, it’s going to be interesting to see Tom on the wing but he’s a professional and can pick out the occasional pass - just a tad worried about his pace against Cancelo/Mendy whoever it is

 

[Tommy Chong]

Bernie’s croaked again it seems.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Siggy has given the ball away twice already...

 

[Azza]

And again Slugurdsson.

 

[Jimishorts]

Take Gylfi off

Get Ings on

 

[coollino]

What’s this all about? Chief.

His stream must be 30 mins ahead.

 

[Zeitgeist]

Looks really off the pace Sig atm

 

[overkill]

First touch and Slugurdsson gives the ball away! Save us James!

Yeah we were keeping the ball well then looked to move up through the press and mid controls a ball under moderate pressure

 

[sageyefc]

Twice already siggyfraud has given the ball away

 

[Prevenger17]

Gylfi can't handle midfields that press and run

 

[Wayno]

Our shirt is absolutely incredible. One of the best I remember us having

With Sidibe and Coleman both playing, I suspect that he believes Davies will offer the tenacity and pressing needed, and the rest will give the necessary final balls.

Tom is already coming in a lot more and playing across the midfield, so it's not as simple as him being put on the right.
