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

[Goat]

Just had a seizure looking at that City bench.

 

[Nymzee]

U23 keeper starting, 5 U23 players on the bench for a quarter final.
Just the Everton way of life.

We have 7 injured/ineligible

Park it, turn the snide up to 11 and hope for some top tier spawn.

 

[blue to the bone]

He was ill last weekend wasn’t he? Not in training video yesterday either. Covid?

Small pox

 

[Jim Hopper]

No matter who he played today it was a massive ask. Best we can hope for is an early goal and got through to second half and throw Davies and Keane on for our front men and go 10 men camped in our own box. Maybe that’s the plan.

Ah well, time for a pint (or 2). lol

No obituary in the Echo for us though eh

 

[Eggs]

....Eggs theory about pre-match selection fume gives me something to cling to.

I think we can win.

Up the Toffees.

 

[blueblue]

Just my opinion but I think the tempo that play at doesn't suit the casual style of Gomes.

I worry about this game.

Stupid line up. Gomes and Siggy don't work together and why on earth is Davies not in the side. I put ,20 pounds on Everton at odds of 10/1 this morning. That was before I saw this ridiculous line up

If Sigurdsson is playing as number 10 it might work its just when they are both playing deeper they get in each others way.

 

[jimmythenut]

Like to see us test out their young keeper earlier on, plenty of shots outside the box see if he's any good.

Get the early goal and play counter attack..

Virginia
Holgate Mina Godfrey
Coleman Allan Gomes Digne
Soggy

Maybe.

Who knows.

Well, aren't you stupid.

 

[allen]

I'll say this for Carlo: you can never, ever predict what he's going to rustle up by way of a starting line-up.

Do we have anybody who can hit the target from outside the box?
