Shameless self promotion there

Only messin' lid

Personally, I'm liking the Chutzpah. Maybe #bluegirl can start referring to herself in the third person: "bluegirl doesn't care what you think! Bluegirl will self promote if and when she wants to!"

right behind you Blues in every game....just do it for all our fans

Need McCarthy for Newcastle with Besic out don't risk him

Everton have to go through, it's Everton. Sadly this will gloss over the dreadful manager, John Stones, greatest defender who.....can't defend, Seamus 'Headless Chicken' Coleman who has had one good season with us, A goalkeeper of pensionable age and performance, Besic, love him but we can't have our 'hard man' always out injured because that means he is not quite as advertised. Notable on Saturday was that Barry, Baines and Pienaar were the only Everton players deserving to be on the pitch, all old hands. Deulafue...a few good crosses and nothing else do not make a top flight footballer. Sorry to be such a misery but the first half was only equalled when we lost to Tranmere at home.

We've ridden our luck against city twice.

This will be a bloodbath.

 

[mglennon]

We need a huge slice of luck ie, a red card of city to not turn up

Harsh to say the first leg was riding our luck.

We played well, were the better team and deserved the lead.

 

[davek]

We're 2-1 up and away from home and have Robles in goal.

Three great reasons for hope right there.

No, no, no...we deserve nothing. It's all doom and gloom. Everything is going wrong etc etc etc

Yo dog you going to watch the mighty blues,

Although it is a massive game but starting James MC for a potential 120 minutes with the risk of seeing him limp off again I would put in on the bench and bring him on if we have something to hold on too or if we have to go for broke to win the ball for example. I would suggest. Howard Coleman baines jags mori Barry cleverly ? barkley Rom Lennon. Not sure on? Pienaar or maybe oviedo

keep Jimmie Mac on the bench and bring him on at 70 mins to keep a lid on Toure who it seems only starts playing at that point.

 

[evo1878]

Thanks mate, seems we've got a small potential advantage there then.

We pretty much have to score tbh. 0-0 ain't gonna happen twice

If McCarthy is fit, he has to start. We need energy in midfield without Besic or we'll get hammered.

 

[Dozbik]

We're gonna win by Howard's penalty kick in the kickout and Willy gonna cry.

 

[R.Reddington]

I'll be surprised if we make it through with the injuries etc. We need to make it a battle and I don't know if the players and manager collectively are able to do that so I'll go for 3-1 City. As long as we show some passion, win or lose I'll be proud.
