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

Prem Goals Scored 22/23

Everton: 13
Haaland: 20

That stat is shocking every time it appears, each time with the gap widening. But then I remember that Rondon would have probably tapped 15 in for City by now, and it’s no longer relevant.

Plus we allegedly nearly signed Haaland when he was 2 so it’s sort of like he’s our player anyway. I wish him well.

Playing Triple Captain for this game. Haarland.

If we can just keep the ball on the centre circle for 90 minutes, maybe refuse to kick off like, I think we'll keep the score down to a respectable level

COYB!!!

 

[Gareth Gibson]

We have very little quality and an inexperienced young manager. We also have numerous injuries to key players. We only stayed up last season by dint of the fact that we fans got behind the players every second of those final six home matches. That’s why we were beating the likes of Chelsea at Goodison; we didn’t get those wins thanks to talent or tactical acumen.

Frankly playing the champions away could result in a cricket score.

It’s a point gained if we don’t severely damage our goal difference

That’s someone who watched city when they were [Poor language removed] and still scarred. I would be the same if we were city’s level or ever did become that good. Everton have mentally broke me for nearly 30 years of going the match.

Having watched City from 74 i know what pain feels like pal. At least you haven't seen Wycombe Wanderers beat you home and away in the old third division, that's effin pain!. Being maxed up on Diazepam wouldn't have eased the pain I've suffered before we were formed in 2008. I can't forget that suffering either, neither can most City fans who were there.

Any 'holier than thou's' who wouldn't (didn't eh Bill) have take the same deal are just kidding themselves

 

[Lob]

Gawd, imagine how bad this is going to be. Been turned over by almost everyone and only won 3 all season. These could end up literally walking the ball into the net. Only thing we can hope for is that City have an off day and don't do too much damage.

Aye, i recall Mansour was sniffing round buying you but wasn't impressed with Kenwright. Good job he didn't come knocking at ours when Swales was still our chairman ??

 

[Del-boy]

If by some miracle it’s 1-1 in the 93rd minute, might be a good idea not to pressurise the players to get it forward..

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

I haven't watched Everton much this season but you need points and that's why I'm not taking a win for granted.

We're possibly turning into that shambles of a club you were.
And look how long it took you to get were you are,after the false starts.
You've had some shockers.
That game v Gillingham, I often feel the nation ,apart from Salford, thought yous have suffered enough and smiled when you fell over the line.

 

[Maine road Man]

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?

 

[Ring master]

City will destroy Everton, that is all we need to know lol, Lampard will say something in the P/C like we are not going there just to defend even though we know we will, and we will be lucky to probably get 5 shots the whole game

 

[tnc85]

I've been thinking that's the way we should go in general. Stop trying to play football and just fill the team with giants. It's the only realistic option remaining.

Yeah worth a try until we sign some players who can pass the ball forward for a change
