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

[DualityNSNO]

Christ that’s a gamble and a half, 5 at the back and Dom straight in from the off. I hope it works, I really do

I'd love to be proven wrong, but honestly when has 5 at the back worked for us? The only times it has is when we start with it, look crap and switch to a back 4 lol

 

[T LEAFE]

Has Mina gone back to Colombia for more treatment?

 

[Deulofeumygod]

3 attacking players on the pitch and 2 on the bench

 

[HalfTimeSayers]

Aaah. Mina on his way to see a specialist in a warm sunny country I guess.

 

[ToffeeTim]

he won't be sacked when we lose today. 100%.

Tuesday is make or break for him. Lose and he's gone

 

[DualityNSNO]

If Dominic Calvert-Lewin hobbles off at any point Lampard should be sacked on the spot.

Imagine starting a player away at the best team in the league who wasn't fit for the squad when we played bottom of the league at home the week previous.

Putting his job before the club there.

Lampard also can't win with this, as if Dom was on the bench you'd cryarse why he isn't starting anyway.

 

[coleman=quality]

Looking at that bench you wouldn’t want a single player coming on someone give frank their boots ?? we’re so poo it’s unreal

 

[Toffe3m4n]

So basically a 5-4-1 with DCL going for a jolly with City's centre halves..

Gonna go just swimmingly this innit ?

Hope Ederson has a good book to read so he doesn't get too bored

 

[maccavennie]

Godfrey is so poor on the ball, I wouldn't have brought him in. Though I'm not surprised it's a back 3 as I thought he'd do that if Mina as fit.



No Cannon, Mina or Gordon though Lampard did say there was a bug going round.

 

[Kantareller]

Thankfully Julian Alvarez doesnt start

 

[ForeverEverton]

Utd ahead against Wolves, halts their recovery slightly, be nice if we could start ours now...

 

[blue to the bone]

There's no evidence he can start twice in 3 days. This game is a write off so why risk a player with enormous injury problems. We can beat Brighton at home with him.

If we started maupay you would moan also . I bet he starts v Brighton also .

 

[T LEAFE]

Get at em boys
Press
Sqeeeeeze

 

[Toffe3m4n]

No Gordon?

I'm assuming he was one of the players struggling with illness like Lampard suggested yesterday.
