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

[tommytowne]

Absolutely this. I don’t count last season’s training sessions at Arsenal and Liverpool. As a club we’re just incapable of going to these places in a real football match in front of watching human beings and winning, it doesn’t happen.

Please don't get me wrong. I'm not pessimistic for the sake of it as nothing would please me more than to see us win. But I'm a realist deep down and as regards us over the past 25 years or so, nice things don't happen to usl

Yeah, that’s what I said last month. C’mon Blue, smash deeze.

See, this guy's got their measure.

Unfortunate that the forum's Evertonians seemingly lack the basic testicular fortitude of a Palace fan.

 

[MikeH72]

Mina, doucoure, gomes and dcl all out.
Strap yerselves in for this one!

LOL are we supposed to be weakened by that?

 

[mahermi1]

they even showed him back on the training pitch FFS what is happening

Our rehab team is probably what happened, standard.

Just curl into a ball and plead for mercy

Maybe the way to gain that fortitude is to experience life in the Championship every few seasons.

I think we could grab a couple of goals against City. De Bruyne is missing and possibly Foden too.
But I can't see us holding out so 4-2 for them. That's entertainment though.

Can we just forfeit and save everybody the bother

 

[RomanReigns]

On a serious note I guess the team will be

Pickford
Coleman
Keane
Godfrey
Digne
Delph
Allan
Townsend
Gray
Gordon
Richarlison

I'm not sure even putting 12 players out will help to be honest mate

Also the benefit of no more injuries, Christ is this what they have brought our thinking to?!!

 

[Furey1878]

De Bruyne's out

*looks at the rest of the City team and still cries

 

[bring back the catt]

I'm 99.9% certain we will roll over.
Still, there's always the 0.01% to cling onto.

Er, don't want to be too pedantic, but that amounts to 99.91%.
Can we have the balance to help our cause, because I think we 'may' need it.

Awaits heavy object being thrown through the window.

Why is it that we hardly ever hear good news about injuries coming from finch farm these days, nearly all long term problems.

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.
