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

[maccavennie]

It’s putting needless pressure on them, which I’m sure neither want nor the manager otherwise they’d be in by now

Lampards job on the line, he's taking a huge risk sticking to the same formula of players ino. Time to twist with a throw of the dice.

Who do you take out for Price though? At least with Cannon you could take out the wide players and go two up

I think this will be a tough one ?

Any one of the midfielders. None of them are getting on the ball anywhere near enough. Probably keep Gueye in and have him sit there and Price in front.

Onana isn't doing enough, Gueye hasn't done enough and Iwobi isn't doing enough. If Lampard selects the same 11 and the same formation tomorrow, he's literally sleep walking into a sacking without putting up a fight for his job. He needs to show he's trying everything he can to put it right

I don’t think Lampard or anyone connected with the club see any way that he is in a job at Everton come the end of the season.

Lampard looks like he’s trying to put on a brave face but I genuinely have lost faith in him and I was a fan for quite a while too

We’re having a bit of a dip in form and City are a decent side on their day but if things go our way we could win a couple of throw-ins

 

[Del-boy]

I enjoy this forum, especially for your dark working class northern humour. We had similar qualities until the glory hunter know nowts turned up questioning our self depreciation. Keep the faith lads?

How did you cope with relegation from the Premier League and then again? I mean how did you stop yourself from downing a pint of Toilet Duck. I’m only asking because we are headed the same way and it’s quite depressing.

An expected thrashing

Feels wrong this is on before the watershed

 

[Mathieubleucoyb]

Haaland hat trick and we won’t get any goals.
We can only hope this is Lampards last game in charge.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

If you think I'm ruining my new years eve watching this then you're absolutely right.

 

[paultheblue]

24/1 for the win if anyone fancies it

 

[Bebeto]

This is why games against wolves was so important...we pretty much had a full squad available and fit and decided against having dcl on the bench. We lost 3 points and now facing city with dcl in the squad with only a few more days of training. A few players in the squad are feeling under the weather and we are prepare to risk dcl in this game...dont make sense to me.

Press conferences have become boring now... We`ll just work harder is all he says, that is OK but we are regressing under Franks "work harder" regime....
