Match Thread Manchester City v Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[DanEFC92]

Getting shots on target isnt an issue, sadly for us the target always seems to be the GK.

We'd be top if the opposition didn't field a keeper ffs.

Hope we manage a shot on target COYB

That reminds me of a Paul Jewell quote when he was manager of Wigan and they had an away game at the title holders.

'So, Paul, would you be happy with a point from this game?'

'I'd be happy with a corner kick pal!'

We'd be top if the opposition didn't field a keeper ffs.

Lash up an APLT showing the table if we took away saves by GKs lad.

The blues to come out swinging.
City to score after 15 minutes of pressure.
The blues see their backsides and press and somehow nick a goal before halftime. We all rejoice!!!!
A witch/warlock/goblin drains the will from our team at halftime and zombies come onto the pitch (refer to Watford for an example)
City to score three while we struggle to thread a pass.

Everton, please prove me wrong.

Hoping for two sweepers (Holgate and Jagielka) behind a back three and two wing backs, Gueye and Schneiderlin holding the midfield and DCL running around like a headless chicken up front.

MC
80% territory
80% possession

all in the opponents half.

2-0 HT 4-0 FT

If both teams at their best.

Actually got a city mate who has commented that this season Everton always seem to play to their opponents level.

Fingers crossed then. COYB

I’d like what’s best for our club, if that means them winning, so be it. Especially at this stage of the season. If you don’t want what’s best for your club, you’re not a supporter in my eyes.

What is best for our club is to win every game, never mind what anybody else is doing.

 

[Manx Blue]

Far too much quality.

0 - 2 Everton.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

We're going to get absolutely dry bummed, and we all know it. City to win by at least three goals. They'll score more goals than we have shots on target and corners combined.

 

[PeregrineT]

Anything better than 3 goal loss would be a bonus.

 

[deipnosophist]

I've turned a little more pessimistic over the course of the week; I previously (and rather optimistically) thought we might only lose 3-0, but now I think it might be worse than that. Hopefully our lion hearts in royal blue are not feeling under any pressure approaching this game. If they are, I fear we might lose by a PL record amount. I think Bobby M's Wigan once conceded 9 goals...we could well exceed that.

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Nothing like negative positively eh lids

 

[onlyme]

Jeez, give it a rest. 2 - 0 COYB

 

[deipnosophist]

I just phoned my brother who is going to the game. His City mates reckon Everton are a mentally weak team who are going to be put to the sword.
I told him his mates are right.
He replied "I know"

lol

 

[Vedder]

They won't be happy with last week result and we will get the back lash, but I reckon we will get a goal, 3 or 4 - 1 to city
