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

[Bluestar]

I would love us to win, but I cannot see us getting anything out of it. City are so strong and we just don’t have enough in midfield.

We played well against them last time, probably as well as we could, but they still had too much.

I guess to get anything it will have to be extremely defensive and nick one the break.

UP THE FREAKING TOFFEES

Trevor Ross scores Everton’s second goal from the penalty spot against Manchester City in this FA Cup 5th round tie played at Goodison Park on the 7th March 1981.

We are winning this today

We are winning this today

Be prepared for heartbreak. Doucoure or James both missing, and down to third choice goalkeeper. I’m sorry, but they will ping it round us and we will chase shadows Until they score.
Im afraid our chances today are somewhere between nil and zero percent.

 

[Bullens Rd]

Their bench today would be able to wipe the floor with any xi we're able to send out unfortunately. Wrong time to have our worst injury crisis of the season.

The sad thing is a win would feel like a cup final in itself in which we then have a Semi & Final to follow to likely Chelsea + Utd.

So your saying we have a chance???

Personally don't think we do either but nothing surprises me anymore. Could be one of those where we click and City have one of those days. Virginia might have the game of his life and we score a few set pieces.

Cooommmmooon you bloooooooooooossssssssss!

Joey virginlover to have an absolute worldie and stop everything oilwell FC through at him, we nick one off a set piece - job done, easy as peas.

UTFT!

 

[UltraVires]

Big day today lads. I’ve been saying I’ll have a week off the ale but I woke up this morning with a feeling of dread and I think a few to drown my sorrows at another missed trophy may be needed.

 

[Dixieslaces]

2 more wins in the fa cup this year and then the current squad can do this lol

Happy Days!!


Oh we love our Neill Southall, Gary Stevens, Psycho Pat............

I woke up and saw my cat batting around a dying mouse

I think this game will be simillar to that

 

[Donegal blue]

Let's have em! Come on Everton, step up.Quality, Motivation, Spirit , let's feckin see it.

 

[Jeff Jones]

We probably won't win this, not that I'm giving us no chance - we are after all a high ranking professional football club, but Virginia won't be the reason
if we do lose.

 

[UptheTofees]

City need to focus on their Dortmund match up.

Take the day off lads
