Match Thread Man City v Everton - Sunday 21st November 2pm. Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Mosh Pit]

Crazy we are relying on Delph and Allan to be fit. I’ll tell you now there is no chance that these two can stay fit for the next two full games.

Whats wrong with Allan?

Why is he getting tarnished with the same brush as Delph?

He’s obviously way better than Delph but I don’t trust his hamstrings one bit.

Played 23 and 24 games in his last 2 seasons.

When’s the last time we played on a Saturday?

Having just watched Chelsea they are going to walk this league, which means we dont have to worry about Liverpool, so no need to do City a favor anymore

Tend to agree, they absolutely dismantled Leicester. Could have been 7 or 8 but for three disallowed goals and a couple of decent saves from Schmeichel... and without Lukaku or Werner up front

Unleashed to win!

Dixie Dean scores Everton's second goal against Manchester City FC in the FA Cup Final 1933. This final was played at Wembley Stadium London on April 29th 1933.

Would never have stood with today's ridiculous protection of keepers.

Mind you it reminds me of a certain header ar Wembley in May 84 that did stand ?

Watford, how could you forget!!

 

[UptheTofees]

This one will be ugly

But maybe we use this one as a way to improve

 

[4737carlin]

We can go above Man United, Brighton and Palace with a win here, and Spurs until they play later, big game this, lets hope the players dont let the fans and manager down

This is a very salient point @brian labone, and one I have been discussing with @Sassy Colombian on the Yerry Mina thread. There is something inherently wrong with our training and medical recovery practices to have so many injuries, and ones which invariably lead to long term problems.
In addition to training and medical practices, I would suggest the training surfaces at Finch Farm are also inspected as too many injuries are recurring ones related to the training ground.

Probably installed by RS contractors, as our new stadium will be. It’ll fall to pieces in 6 months no doubt.

Either one of them won't finish 70mins tomorrow.

Just want to see a performance and some desire from the players. Will be a tough game do think if he goes 442/4411 with gordon townsend gray will leave us to open. Would say put gbamin in with gomes and davies out but seen nothing to see he will offer anything

Absolutely correct @Cool_Blue as that lot have previous at demolishing stadia. Blimey, they even carry souvenirs of the relics to other away games on the off chance they can hurl them indiscriminately at local catering suppliers.
Coprophilia is the noun which best describes them, and a word which screams out to be spelt with a 'K' which would give even greater oomph to the phrase,'koppites are g.........'!

That was the last decision we had that actually went in our favour. The FA have certainly redressed the balance for that faux pas.
What is that gormless expression that get's rolled out far too often? Oh yes, "things even themselves out over the season". Utter rubbish! Anything played out in 'real time' can never be balanced out. Ever.
Apologies @Bluerover, this seems like a rant at you and nothing could be further from the truth.
Enjoy your evening as it might be difficult to enjoy tomorrow too much.

Read just now the last time we won there was 2010... Was that the night we scored early on... Barry Horne chant on repeat?

Coldest I've ever been at a match
