Match Thread Man City v Everton 23 May 2021 - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

There's a player on our bench 'John'

I'm a bad fan as I've zero clue who that is.

Don't judge me....but I hope a lot of these city players pull hamstrings today.

Same. Pep is an ego maniac and I hope this costs him.

 

[LABlue2]

Our squad must be small, thought almost everyone was fit and we still only have 7 senior players on the bench (and 2 are GK)

So that’s 18 players, who else are we missing today? Mina, King, James, Gbamin? That all?

Kyle John. Right back

 

[Ring master]

At Least Aguero is comming on the 2nd half, so should get easier lol

 

[Nymzee]

Gylfi captain. Hopefully for the last time.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Kyle John. Right back

Indeed.

Kyle John signed a two-and-a-half year contract with Everton in March 2019 after his seamless transition from Under-18 to Under-23 football at the tender age of 17.

The right-back, who joined Everton's Academy as a six-year-old, also had his first taste of senior action in 2018/19, playing as a substitute in the Blues' Goodison Park SportPesa Trophy victory over Gor Mahia from Kenya

 

[Gilbert..]

This argument went right out the window when we spent 35m on Alex Iwobi.

No it doesnt. Because nobody else on this planet would have paid that for him. Its not a reflection of talent bought. Unlike theirs.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

We’ll win.

Stern John

 

[PaddyJames]

Tenner on 2:2 at 18's. If it comes in I won't be telling her.

 

[Lob]

Knowing how the blues like to really twist the knife in with failed opportunities and as much frustration as humanly possible we will get an amazing draw, Spurs will botch it up meaning the opportunity was there and Arsenal will win, pass us and qualify. That is the Everton way of doing things. Either that or we will lose and end up finishing 10th.

Good news is that this is the last torture session for this season and we can then have a couple of months off with not having to watch Everton every week pretending to be a football club that wants to challenge the top.

 

[coollino]

That King deal was worthwhile then.

 

[bring back the catt]

Been honest i am surprised so many are surprised about City playing a full team, never expected anything different myself, if by a miracle we somehow win there people cant say that city played a rubbish 11 etc- their whole squad is pretty good

Playing a first 11 a week before the CL Final could wok in our favour as none will want to get hurt (it says here). I would worry more if their fringe' players started as hey would be going all out to impress.
Fringe players, oh for that luxury.
