Match Thread POSTPONED: Everton v Manchester City - Preview only

[Frenk]

He already said after the United game that he’d go strong for the Sheffield Utd game and use the city game to rotate, he’s always honest so I see no reason not to believe him. I expect 5 or 6 changes personally

I thought he also said he was going to rest DCL before that with Tosun and didn’t. To me it would be a strange thing to do.

Rolling over to get your tummy tickled by Manc tramps.

Could never be me.

There’s not much we agree on, but this is definitely one of them......

 

[marcus]

Clean sheet...

We don't get beat...

 

[Ducans elbow]

Bernard to start instead of Gordon would be my only change, if no injuries to the other starters

 

[Milk]

With any luck covid may have taken out a few more of their players by KO but a quick peekie at their Blue Moon site suggests their fans are confident because of their larger squad although some favour a draw

 

[Mkjjones]

I can see a villa vs Liverpool score line here. 12-0 Hatrick for Davies, Tosun, Mina and iwobi

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Atleast Jesus cant bag against us.

Saying that annoying how Sterling and Mahrez always look world class against us

 

[Camboselecta]

I got some stick for saying we should rotate the squad for the Worthless Cup game against Man U but now loads of people are saying we should rotate for this Man City game? Its crazy. Now we head in to this very important game without Richy because he wasn't rested. We could take three points here anyway, City are beatable right now but a strong team could definitely some away with a point at least. Rest the team for West Ham and Rotherham blood some of the youths.

 

[Seathestars]

Title decider this. 3-2 Everton

 

[birdman]

Bring BESIC back for this one

 

[Bigduke1234]

Got to go for this, surely every player wants to start, chance to play against one of the best teams? Bernards earned a start, Davies starts too. Olsen? Citeh gonna try a few shots from distance, prefer a goalkeeper who can reach razzle in the petrol station.

 

[zukai12_]

Beat them 11-0 please

 

[Yorkie89]

This game has now become more important and would see us go joint top going into the new year never would of seen that coming.

I think it would make us go into the transfer window with a loan or two with obligation to buy.

 

[Mr PEN86]

I think City are there for the taking. We've been better at the back and they haven't been the most prolific in front of goal. Definitely take a point but I think we can get 3. Also with the results today, everyone around us dropping points puts us in a good position

 

[arch stanton]

Clean sheet...

We don't get beat...

I was going to put something like this, go defensive and pragmatic and try and pinch one while resting some players. A full Allardyce tactic
