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

[Acenorth69]

I have been a blue for 48 years. I love the club but I'm also aware that this could be an absolute massacre.
I hope I'm wrong but the way our defense is recently I see a lot of goals and only one will be for us.
I see a 6-1, 7-1 or 7-2 scoreline
Time to get the jack daniels out, I'd rather wake up with a headache from a hangover than all my red mates taking the piss.

 

[MACCA75]

The way Benitez used to set up v these with Newcastle does not fill me with confidence.
Expect 25% possession stats.

 

[ramacca]

Need to pack midfield and as no one gives us a chance, it's a 2 nil win then.

 

[Azza]

Benitez tactical masterclass incoming. He’ll negate their press, control midfield and cut them open with Benitezball

I can't wait for the part where he puts Iwobi on the right and then leaves Coleman to face Foden / Sterling & Cancelo on his own.

 

[blue to the bone]

What price were Crystal Palace?

What price were all the teams city beat ?

 

[jazzy]

The way Benitez used to set up v these with Newcastle does not fill me with confidence.
Expect 25% possession stats.

I'd be astonished if we had as much as 25% possession

 

[Del-boy]

Grealish and Fodden doubts?

 

[john jako]

Grealish and Fodden doubts?

Yeh. Gutted grealish won’t play as he’s been gash. Foden and bernado Silva are playing class so hopefully foden misses out.

 

[Jeff Jones]

For anyone who doesn't understand betting this means for every tenner you put on you lose a tenner

What price were Crystal Palace?

Let's see at 4 o clock if it was a good decision .

I'm sure T Leafe didn't bet on an Everton win because he really thinks we'll win, but because the 17/1 odds are so generous
that it's worth risking at those odds

Just as I've put $20 on the draw, because I think there's a rough chance that we might get something out of this game and it's worth
risking for a return of $140.

 

[tsubaki]

Will he trust Gordon or go for Iwobi? Hope he doesn’t bottle it

TBF I wouldn't pick either - a front three of Richy, Simms and Gray with a midfield of Allan, Townsend and Delph.

simms? you have no chance

 

[tsubaki]

simms? you have no chance

probably not, but if there was ever a game to throw him in to then its this one

 

[Igrok]

6 points from the drop zone..

 

[Ufotone]

No De Bruyne for them, Grealish is expected to miss out because of a minor injury and Foden will have a leg problem assessed.

Even though our key players are injured, we won't get a better chance to bring point/s back from the Etihad.

The lads obviously need to put in a performance that will earn themselves and Benitez some premier league street cred!

That’s a fair point. In Benitez last season at Newcastle they had 19% possession in a match v Chelsea. Amongst the lowest ever since stats began. He blamed injuries.

Guess what’s coming.
