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

[BernieH]

Sam used this gameplan before with Palace and got a result.

It'll be 4-4-2 but the front two will be super wide; exploiting the space left by City's marauding full backs.

Expect us to sit deep and get smashed for 90 minutes, barely having any possession.

Setting up like this allows Schneiderlin to play, as you don't need too much pace when just sitting in front of the back four. Not happy with him getting a game though personally.

Fixed that for you

Jesus lads, can we stop with all the nailed on comments and just look on the bright side of life......

 

[Cellardweller]

Can you let us win? Surely you’d like to see us beat United to wrap up the league

 

[deipnosophist]

DCL eh?

NSNO

 

[Zatara]

Schneiderlin....wtf....this is ridiculous.

 

[efcjames]

DCL & Schneiderlin, we're getting battered.

DCL eh?

NSNO

Tom Davies carrying a knock expect to see DCL in the midfield!

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Swap that horrible coward snide for Gueye and DCL and Bolasie for Sig and Vlasic (I know gylfi is injures) and that’s a decent line up... at least it looks like we’ll have a go

That's the Easter spirit.

in the space yannick occupies left and right, forward and back no longer exist

All over BBC football focus Man City beat Man U next week and they have won the PL. Clearly BBC giving the nod to Man City over us bloody cheek.

b/c of work I've only seen a few minutes of Bolasie today, can he still run?
