Everton (A) - Sun 14th May, 14:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Keeper!]

It's a training match for us

This sort of training I would say...

 

[deano ou812]

What minute is Iwobi putting them 1-0 up? I say the 17th

Will it be one shot one goal and a goal of the season contender ;-)

 

[Dr Jacoby]

A championship side?

They absolutely thumped a very good Brighton side in their last run-out on the 8th of the month, they’ve have had 5 full days for rest and preparation and can put their all into today without worries as they can relax with their feet up until their next game on the 20th.

IMO I think we’ll have enough about us to win today but wouldn’t be boasting about how much better we are until after we’ve got the points because it looks arrogant in the first instance and could possibly be excruciatingly embarrassing after the fact.

Should be a tough game today, let’s hope that we’re in the groove and can make some early substitutions eh?

They are where they are for a reason….

But yes, I expect a very tough game today.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Sky want whoever you are playing to win...

If there was a friendly arranged...City v Russia...Sky would have the Putin flags out....

Post of the day bud.

 

[pudge]

Unless they are playing with 12 men it will not make much difference.

I mean, we all know they will be

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

Don’t know why, but of all the run in games, this is the one that worried me most.

Cmon lads. Focus.
Just get the job done.

 

[Keeper!]

I don't care how tired we are. These are utter gash and we should smash them

 

[Blue Maverick]

This sort of training I would say...

Steer or queer?

Won’t be putting it on till 1400 exactly.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Don’t know why, but of all the run in games, this is the one that worried me most.

Probably because its the next one.
If we win this one, I'll be worrying about the Chelsea match and so it goes on.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Like the look of that 11 given the context.

And finally pundits are noticing we don't have a "big" squad, we have a core of 16 technically gifted players who are comfortable in numerous roles across the pitch.

 

[SebastianBlue]

T-15 minutes until full carnage mode engaged in match thread.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Don’t know why, but of all the run in games, this is the one that worried me most.

Cmon lads. Focus.
Just get the job done.

Me too, but that's mainly because of the schedule than the actual game. Even if we've put a strong team out, you risk some of the players having one eye on Wednesday.

 

[Keeper!]

Steer or queer?

tell you at 90 mins

3 points and no injuries, fingers crossed.

 

[BlueLou82]

We are not a great team, however the difference DCL makes cant be understated. If he would have been fit all season, we would be midtable. Without him we had a guy who didnt get many in a Brighton team that creates lots and a kid who was on loan at Sunderland and made 1 senior appearance.

We look a completely different team with a half decent striker. We are going to need to be near perfect today to get anything

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Keane and Vieira talking sense, Micah rabbiting on about nothing.
Vieira mentions we have a small squad. I like to hear that.

 

[whos_kompany85]

Come on city

 

[Millennium]

Foden and Mehriz need to show their quality today. We need to win this game by all means. Also Haaland did not score in the last two games, he should be hungry to score and to be ready for Real Madrid. Please win it guys and take the three points.

 

[eastmanc]

Strong team. Come on you Dolly Blues.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Hope Foden plays well

Micah said, "I'd like to see him play inside."

Me too, mate!
