Match Thread Everton v Manchester City 31st March KO 17:30

[Groucho]

Hi all. What do we reckon for this then?

We’re safe but it could go one of about three ways.

We’ll play with no pressure now, coupled with the home advantage, and win.

Or we could be simply swept aside by a really good team (who didn’t beat us at their gaff earlier in the season when we were actually truly woefully awful btw).

Or they could be saving players for CL and rest a few and we’ll win.

Who knows eh? Perhaps we could actually enjoy the game now the pressure is off?

Them resting players has no difference they have so much depth

Too much Johny depth for wee Ev.

 

[Groucho]

Sorry, for those who simply cannot do without a pic

 

[BernieH]

an 'expected loss'. just hope they don't embarrass us again. getting beat by these is no disgrace, the manner in which it happens however does. Is it not May yet.

 

[evertonarntwe]

realistically they should absolutely bum us because they're just quality aren't they

can just see a 1-0 in the dying minutes and fat arse running down the touchline with a pint of gravy and then signing a new deal after it

COME ON CITY COME ON CITY

 

[Saint Domingo]

Depends on if they play the first 11. Silva and Kompany makes such a difference to them. If we play them without those two and maybe De Bruyne is also rested then we’d have a chance.

As sad as it sounds I mainly just hope we don’t injure any of them so that they are all fit to play Liverpool in the CL.

Allardyce v Guardiola

Fascinating tactical battle

 

[billyblue80]

A damn good thrashing

 

[Abraders]

Think I'll be working and therefore miss it which is a shame.

I think we'll do alright and nab a draw

 

[Eggs]

..up the Toffees but roll on the end of the season.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

On the positive side I think we'll score.

That said, I feel we'll concede at least three.

Prediction: 1:3, despite us not playing that badly. Probably go two down simply by City taking their chances, then grab one back in second half and concede again towards the end.

I remember Jose labeling Big Sams tactics as 18th century football . Wonder what will Pep say in his post match interview
