Pep is going to rotate without question, Mendy, Laporte, Mahrez ect that didn't play yesterday will more than likely play tomorrow night.

Maybe Foden might even get a game for a change!

Pep has now formed a tight ship & that will be how he goes imo

Eddy, Walker, Dias, Stones & Cancelo are his No 1 choice then midfield 3 of Rodri, Gundo & Kev that is & will be his spine week in week out if fit

With Walker missing I wouldnt change anything at the back even Laporte.
We have UTD on the 4th & then Birmingham in FA Cup & thats when he changes more personnel
For Everton & Chelsea it will only be 3 maybe 4 changes imo
Also I wouldnt put Mendy, Zinchenko, Garcia anywhere near the next 2 games

Everton side (Rodri, Gundo, Berny & Torres out, Mahrez, Dino, Phil & Aguero in )

Ederson
Dias Stones
Cancelo Ake
Fernandinio
Kev Phil
Mahrez Sterling
Aguero

60 mins for Sergio if we can

Surely this is a wind-up ... No sane person in the world would play Walker tomorrow!

Google it ... if you don't know or maybe read some other threads on the forum :)

I see. I didn't mean tomorrow. I know he has covid and can't play. I meant going forward I am sane!
 
Sadly, Kevin and Gundogan should start on the bench. The defense can start as is. Draft in Foden, Dihno, Mahrez and Aguero for Kev, Gundogan, Ferran and Sterling.

So many games in such little time. I really feel for the players and hope we don't have any injuries coming into Chelsea and then Man United

Everton is second in the league and this will be a very tough game. However its a must win to keep the chase going.

Dias did not get any rest recently so I would go for Stones and Laporte at the back. Ake and Cancelo as full backs. I hope we can do the same setup with 3 at the back like we did against Newcastle

Fernandinho will start this one with Gundogan if he is okay. I am going to take a bold step and say rest KDB and play Bernardo on the left, Foden central and Sterling on the right.

Aguero should start hopefully

So:

Ederson
Ake
Stones
Laporte
Cancelo
Ferna
Gundo
Foden
Bernardo
Sterling
Aguero

Most probably Mahrez and KDB will start and instead of Foden and Bernardo. Just wishful thinking from my side

Only change I'll make is Rodri for Gundogan if Rodri is healthy.

Rest for the weary is an advantage.
 
tough game this even though they have afew injuries.

Good thing is if Everton have any real aspirations of challenging then they will have to be abit more open and actually attack us as well instead of sitting back with 10 men behind the ball.

Calvett Lewin is a real danger and Sigurdson as well

Ill take any sort of win at the moment

Do they always make game day posters out of players not likely to start the game?

At least they didn’t put Walker or Jesus on that next to Richarlson ...

That poster is probably made by some intern at Amazon Prime, they'll have absolutely no idea who is playing or not, just gone for a pair of star players.
 
Ancelotti apparently was unbeaten against Pep until last season. Hopefully Pep makes it 2 wins in a row tomorrow.

We really do need to start putting a winning run together. Last season our longest winning run was the last 5 games. So far this season we’ve won 2 on the bounce twice, we need to put together a long winning streak if we’re to challenge this season.

Mahrez shouldnt be any where near any starting 11 - we are so much better off without him - he offers nothing

Fortunately Mr.Guardiola, recently named Coach of the Century, does not have your blinkered vision. Mahrez was our best player at Goodison Park last season and will probably start, if only to give Torres or Silva a well earned rest before the big match next Sunday.
 
as a city for over 50 years everton away is one the hardest ground to play at because of there fans are right on top of you and they are like a bunch of animals demanding blood. the officials over the years are shit it there and city have been cannon fodder and get kick off the park

but with the remerge of liverpool as title challengers everton have been easy and city have took the points
now everton have set their own standers this season and i feel it will be back to the old everton fighting for everything and the couple of thousand fans will sound like 20.000

city have to fight the fight and earn the right and we can not let the first goal in ?
because it will be all up hill and city don't have the fire power to go all out attack unless pep gambles on aguero

Hello all. Everton fan here, I thought I'd come and give you a Toffee view.

Through a combination of injuries and fixture congestion the squad feels run in to the ground.

Four of our very best players are out in Digne, Allan, Richarlison and James. We also have Delph and Gbamin injured.

DCL is knackered and our rotation option for him is Richarlison (Tosun is nowhere near the required level but I have a sneaky feeling he has to start one of these matches).

You may have noticed DCL hasn't scored for a little while. He is still playing really well but the regular supply isn't there without James and Digne.

We have Godfrey, a young right footed centre half, playing at left back. He is great defensively and can make surging attacking runs in to space - but most of the time with the ball he will turn back inside and pass backwards. This obviously makes a huge difference in our play compared to Digne.

I expect you to win the game as you'll rotate in top quality, which we just can't do in these circumstances, and also have top quality on the bench. So similar to what happened against Man United midweek.

We will line up something like this:

Pickford
Coleman Mina Keane Godfrey
Iwobi Doucoure Davies Bernard
Sigurdsson
DCL

Olsen (GK, Lossl (GK), Kenny, Holgate, Branthwaite, Nkounkou, Gomes, Gordon, Tosun​

Happy to see you high up on the table and I cheered your lot watching them go through that tough series of matches recently against Arsenal, Spurs, etc and coming out with all 9 points.

I wish you all the best for the rest of the league season and going forward. I think Ancelloti is doing a brilliant job at Everton, do you share that view?

Cheers!

even the best are wrong at some point.....Mahrez doesnt deserve to be in the starting 11...his performances this season have been nothing short of awful....and for the most part of his time at city.
He is a supremely gifted footballer no doubt about it but he just doesnt fit in here
 
Scousers have just dropped two more points ... about time we start capitalising on the opportunities presented ... we have not been able to twice in recent past but now is the time ...

This season, shite. Last season he was our best player behind Kev.
