Match Thread Manchester City v Everton - Team Prediction, Waffle, Match Report & MotM Poll

[RufusCat]

Time for an unexpected EFC win.

Not one to witness

Do managers get suspended for 3 yellow cards?

Ya ten Haag got a touchline ban for the Goodison fixture this season after picking up 3 yellows

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Can’t wait for a load in here to start wetting themselves when we inevitably find a way to lose to the best team in the world, either by performance or pathetic soft penalties that we would never get (see Fulham game) again, and because Luton have already been declared winners in their game later that day and a real force to be reckoned with

This. And in the unlikely event that we get something from the match, there'll be soggy bed sheets over us handing the quadruple to the rs

 

[Nymzee]

It's not, but at the same time going out to play for a 0:0 against City has worked for almost no one ever since Pep's taken over, so I can see how if we do that it'll more likely be a few to them.

That said, it'll be one of the rare cases and we'll shithouse a 0:1 win.

If we go out to win we’ll also get destroyed so

Yeah but a middle ground approach exists - "play for 0:0" with Dyche is essentially never getting out of our box for 90 min, which might work, but 1) it's Everton, mate and 2) KDB is sadly fit.

A lovely day for a walk

I’ve only seen Dyche play for a nil nil once, against Arsenal this season. As much as he’s defend first and certainly has a pragmatic approach, we always create chances and get bodies forward in numbers when we counter attack.

We need pace in behind, if only to win some set pieces. I’d probably give Dobbin a start. He won’t obviously - he’ll have Ashley Young.

"When we counter attack", but if the plan is "sit back and hoof it and hope for the best" it's a death sentence against City. Surely, with the fact this just happened to Brentford, we'd know better?

Yeah that's about right. Arsenal was the only game where we literally didn't do anything. It was an awful watch. That should probably be what we do Saturday to be honest. But it won't be pretty

 

[b-rad]

Can’t imagine a world in which we get anything from this. I expect so little that I simply don’t care if we get beat 5-0.

Other games are so much more important.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Scoring early would not necessarily help here as they will have 90 minutes to rectify that. Keeping it 0-0 to the end is our best bet and if we get a break in the dying minutes that would be great. Even if that plan doesn't work for the full 90 it will keep the GD down.
Cant see us rushing folks back for this one...

A lovely day for a VERY VERY LONG walk WITHOUT ANY PHONE

Slight edit mate.
