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

[Eggs]

Sterling would run the legs off him.

....he does that to most, I think he’s terrific. As I say, real test for whoever he’s up against.

 

[Sharpattack]

If Fulham at one stage had 75% possession then City will have about 90% even if it's for a 5 minute spell.
Going to be a tough watch and the players will be knackered chasing the ball all evening

It wasn't just the possession, it was the chances they created and spurned. I've no doubt that if we play against City like we did, particularly in the first half, against Fulham we will be 5-0 down at half time.

Would be just nice to see a few tackles and a bit of running in midfield. Just give them a game.

A draw would be a great result and keep us right in there, can't see it though unfortunately

...not sure which side Sterling will play, probably on their right but if he‘s on the left I actually think I’d prefer Coleman up against him. He stands his full back up and it’d be a real test for Holgate and even Godfrey. I don’t think Sterling is at the top of his game but it’ll be very interesting watching that contest.

Coleman always struggles badly against Sterling. I'm not sure I'd go for him tonight, and definitely not if James is playing on the right in front of him.

We always struggle very badly against Gabriel Jesus as well. We seem to give him about 3 free headers in the 6 yard area every time we play City, and he's hardly known for his aerial ability.

Genuinely can’t be arsed. 3 games in 7 days where we getting slapped all over.

 

[Bullens Rd]

Second game in a row we get bummed, then we top it off with an embarrassing defeat on Saturday against you know who.

Just get it over with and this season tbh. Complete waste of time.

 

[ToffeeTim]

At least Gundogan is out

Yeah and De Bruyne and Aguero are probably back

Jesus will play and always scores against us

 

[Jim Hopper]

Take the draw now.

 

[No8Bally]

If the same team and same attitude as the Fulham game show up, we are in for a well smacked arse

 

[Bullens Rd]

Just get it over with and this season tbh. Complete waste of time.

Exactly. As soon as we were forced to go into the season using players like Sigurdsson, Coleman, Gomes, Davies, Iwobi on a regular basis then it was always going up end in failure. Some fake promise along the way, but we are, unfortunately, heading in the correct direction now for where we deserve to be.

Remember this is the rearranged match when City cried off to the PL because they were up to it. couldn’t we do the same as we certainly aren’t.

 

[Charlie Burnett]

To think West Ham, Newcastle and Fulham we didn’t show up we would be laughing in second with two games in hand if we would of turned up.
