Wasn't he on the bench the other day?

PG played down his availability yesterday

From City's website...

Sergio Aguero is not fit enough to start and will again be named amongst the substitutes, but Guardiola says Ruben Dias may be restored to the starting XI.

I've had a long hard think about tonight's match, the players for each position, attack v defence, the battle in the middle, length of the grass, floodlight maximisation of shadows on pitch, paint used for goal lines, conditioner used for kits, temperature of the iron used on the shorts, wind optimisation, voice recognition, luck of the draw, game of two halves, x against y, 4 divided 2 x 10 = a good quality aftershave.

The conclusion and scoreline I've come to with my calculations using all of the above metrics

Everton 0-83 Man City

COYB!

 

[kenada_blue]

0.2 City.

Too many good runners with the ball and arriviing late into the box that we won't pick up.

90mins of chasing shadows

Performance tonight for me is the one. They are better then us , will have more ball and create more chances. But want to see us compete for everything, make them earn anything they get , be brave on the ball and see what happens.
We can play very well and lose . But we can't let them walk all over us. That's not on.

 

[Blues Harp]

Aguero isn't back.

Makes no difference, they'll still have too much for us.
Reality.

The fact that I support Everton is the only reason I’m not lashing my life savings on City here. -300 on them to win is outstanding odds IMO.

 

[Jim Hopper]

At least after this game we only have Southampton and then we are pretty much back to one game per week. Zero excuses then.

 

[roy vernon]

As long as we show desire and compete with them all over the park we have a chance of getting something here.
Even if we lose we really need ro show some fight and make them work for it.

Have some faith. 2-1 to the Toffees

 

[Frenk]

There have been numerous times past when we have said we had no hope against these, only for us to go put in a good performance against them. I still have no hope though.

Who drew the pen?

Richarlison trips himself up but the referee incorrectly awards us the penalty.

Wow and no VAR to overturn it? Hey I’ll take it.
