Match Thread POSTPONED: Everton v Manchester City - Preview only

Wonder if he will rotate the keeper again. City are pretty average compared to their previous performances over the years. Keep it tight and try and nick it late on.

Real test this.

City beginning to find some form after badly spluttering.

If we have a sloppy performance from the midfield KDB will ribbon us.

Aguero will play too I imagine, going to be very tough.

Presuming he's going to give some players a much needed rest, does he go for something like this and bring Dom & Iwobi on after an hour or so? It looks horrible on paper, but we need to rotate at some point..

Either keeper
Coleman, Keane, Holgate, Godfrey
Davies, Gomes, Sig
Gordon, Tosun, Bernard

Put Richy up top to relieve some off of Dom. Bernard showed today he can handle the left if the midfield can drive the ball forward.

Pickford
Coleman Mina Keane Godfrey
Doucoure Davies
Iwobi Bernard
DCL Richarlison

or take DCL off for a rest and put Sigurdsson in the 10.

Very tough game but they aren't unbeatable at all. Its very hard to predict these games with such short turnarounds. It all depends how fit the teams are come Monday night and who is available.

 

[R.Reddington]

They’ve really struggled this season against compact teams who are tough to break down and dangerous on the counter. Look at the Spurs, Man United, West Brom and West Ham games. These aren’t invincible by any means but seem to be finding some form. I would set the defence up the same and set up the midfield and attack to pounce on the counter and be lethal.

Is Richy available again? If so that’s massive.

We should set up like Spurs did against these.

Think Pickford is his No.1 IMO. He won’t put Olsen in.

Don't think we know yet. Would be a big help if he was.

tosun lol

Yep would be huge especially after coming back from a little rest. Maybe put him as ST either alongside Dom or on his own.

 

[R.Reddington]

tosun lol

There’s no chance we see Tosun. He doesn’t trust him.

I dunno. I've been questioning what the PL's or the clubs' concussion protocol is? Usually it's at least 5 days in most sports. Be curious to see. No one has even confirmed if he's in that protocol? I assumed him not even making the bench today meant he was likely on some sort of injury, likely a concussion based on the collision he took v Utd

 

[wesh]

There’s no chance we see Tosun. He doesn’t trust him.

I wish we wouldn't even see Tosun on the bench. Makes me nervous that. Where the hell is Simms?
