Match Thread POSTPONED: Everton v Manchester City - Preview only

[R.Reddington]

I dunno. I've been questioning what the PL's or the clubs' concussion protocol is? Usually it's at least 5 days in most sports. Be curious to see. No one has even confirmed if he's in that protocol? I assumed him not even making the bench today meant he was likely on some sort of injury, likely a concussion based on the collision he took v Utd

I heard a few shouts of 5-6 days but I’m not sure. Praying he’s back like.

 

[R.Reddington]

I wish we wouldn't even see Tosun on the bench. Makes me nervous that. Where the hell is Simms?

Don’t question Carlo about team selection. We were all saying about Gordon and he was awful tonight. If Simms was good enough he’d be on the bench for sure.

Is Richy available again? If so that’s massive.

The FA and Premier League have set out clear 'return to play' guidelines for players who are suspected to have suffered concussion. Essentially, no player will be allowed to return for a competitive game for at least six days.

That's fair about Simms. But to say he "trusts" Tosun? Really?

 

[Somerset Blue]

Draw would be amazing, but so would a narrow win! COYB!

hes out,week he has to serve

 

[KaiserEFC]

Everton to pure school the footballing Steve Jobs, 5 nil to us.

 

[ah11984]

Rotate. No question for me.

5 games in 14 days, half the first team injured and people were questioning our fitness the other day.

How mads dat.

 

[MockBu4]

That will be the game to watch, hope Carlo knows what to do, how to bog them down because these pale blue boys are like to play fast
Don't know the exact stats, but I guess City are one of the quickest in PL

 

[blue to the bone]

If they click they probably win no matter who we have .
West ham is the winnable game . They play tomorrow and again Wednesday. So we need to be as right as possible for that one.

 

[Rob17896]

Do you think DCL has one more game in him? I'm not sure. I think Tosh might have to come in on this one for a laugh.

Gordon had a chance, Gordon didn't take his chance so the baton once again goes to Bernard.

Who did well.

Yeah I would throw a 2nd string out, play for a draw and have the lads fully rested for a winnable WHU at home

8 day break after the West Ham game. Going to really need that.

I dont know why we had to play Friday next week tbh. I know its normal for games to be on the telly on New Years day but its not ideal. At least West Ham actually have a shorter turnaround than us for that one.
