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

[Elvis]

It's difficult to pick a balanced team with everyone in their correct positions without an obvious pick at right wing/right midfield. I hope we don't go with wing-backs tomorrow as City would outnumber us in the wide positions so I would go with:-
Virginia
Godfrey-Mina-Keane-Digne
Coleman-Davies-Allan-Richarlison
Sigurdsson
DCL

subs Tyrer-Holgate-Nkounkou-Gomes-Onyango-Iwobi-Bernard-Broadhead plus one.

Our best chance of winning this would be having 40,000 people making Goodison a bear pit. Football is nothing without fans.

It will be fine 2-0 to the toffees , a stuffy win after not having the ball for 70% of the game.
Pen and a scruffy header off a corner late on in the game.

Godfrey seems to struggle on the right a lot more than on the left. I'd just play Coleman if he's fit.

As for the game itself, it'll likely be a case of being soundly beaten, but if you can weather the early storm against a top side, you never know.

I reckon the team will be:

Olsen
Coleman Holgate Keane Godfrey
Davies Gomes Sigurdsson
Richarlison Calvert-Lewin Digne
​

Someone said that Ancelotti mentioned Holgate being able to play midfield, and he did do well there last season, but I can't see it.

where is Allan?

My head is saying dont bother watching, dont put yourself through it...

My heart is saying C`MON YOU BLUES......

 

[Carlito]

where is Allan?

Completely forgot about him.

 

[Death]

We are never winning a game like this full strength and in form. Only chance is bad form and players dropping like flies while we are in full doom mode.

Sometimes I wonder if some of you lads even Everton.

I've a raging semi.

 

[Mashtray]

So effed already

 

[Death]

Hold me and tell me everything is going to be alright

I have you in my grasp Lib.

Third choice keeper, I am really worried about him,loads of injured players playing agaist one of the best teams currently in world football.
But City do have a touch of the Everton's about them at times, just when it's looking good , suns shining, live is so good, something always comes along and bites you on the arse, and brings us crashing down again.
We have nothing to lose nobody expects us to win and a lot to gain just try and win and at least have a go.
Even a team as good as they are can have a bad day hopefully its tomorrow.
Hopefully Virginia will do a Jan Mucha agaist them , played for us only twice and one of them was a was MoM for us agaist city in a win for us.

They'll score 2x more than we'll have shots on target.

0-0 it is then.

I think we’ll be happy with that

[Lloydystark]

Please say Olsen is fit?

 

[Death]

Some the shouts about not watching the game. Ya'll be turned out in a matter of minutes in prison and be someone's bish. Tossing salad for breakfast every morning. Gimps.
