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

[HalfTimeSayers]

3 attacking players on the pitch and 2 on the bench

Not one of them will touch the ball in the City half. Closest will be Dom doing that jump too early to make it look like you are being held down thing in the 72nd minute.

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

Correct

Nope. This is an unwinnable game. Take the L and move on. Save our only attacking outlet for games we can actually win.

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

Yeah you’d have 40 odd year old Lampard, Cole and Baines come on over any of those ‘options’

 

[Twinkletoes123]

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Dom, I hope he’s not being put at risk for this game.

 

[ToffeeTim]

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

I dont think we have any chance today. I would have played Cannon

If there is any sort of knock for Dom then the manager has to be seriously questioned. I think he has lost the plot since the end of October

 

[BlueStevie35]

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.

Before his last injury he started 4 games on the bounce so he can do it

If Calvert Lewin wasn't fit to be in the squad Vs Wolves after all that time off how's he starting Vs Man City? ?

I'd have thought introduce off bench Vs Man City and Man Utd to get him starting Vs Brighton.

Ev-er-tooooon.

OR get him playing 65-70 mins here for match fitness, another 65-70 mins against Brighton (maybe a goal) Perfectly match fit for Man Utd

@Parker (cuz idk what happened with the quotes there lol

We'll never know but I'm betting on "why is dom on the bench ffs maupay again?!".

Sad thing is we're both right - this is a guaranteed L really, in many ways lol

 

[coollino]

DCL will just be walking around on the pitch for 80 mins anyway, good management

 

[Wat Tyler]

Clown club.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

OR get him playing 65-70 mins here for match fitness, Start again v Man Utd maybe another 65-70 mins. Perfectly match fit for Brighton.

If he can start 65-70 mins Vs the champions then why couldn't he be on the bench Vs Wolves?

This, after a 6 week break.

Seems weird to me.

Brighton is before United genius
