Everton (H) - Thu 26th Dec '24, 12:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[The Fat el Hombre]

Doubt they'll get up off the grass, going by previous trips to the Etihad.

Yep there is highly likely going to be a hell of a lot of time wasting. Hopefully they're not 1 or 2 up when they're doing it

Easy to have little hope of a performance after that today but we're better at home and its a chance to show them our support which should help, so fingers crossed

I’ve gone for a draw, but the way things are going I can see 0-1 to Everton with an injury time winner after we’ve bossed possession for the majority of the game without creating a shot on target.

With co commentator Tim Cahill running on the pitch to nod in a last minute winner

If Everton are brave and physical they will win easily

Pains me to agree, but we need to be realistic

Lets hope that no player will play unless he is 100% fit.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Don’t section me but I think we might actually get a point in this one.

We're going to win 2-1!

I wish he was still here.

 

[simmo]

Another 12.30 kick off. I hope we start better than today.

De Bruyne needs to start even if he only can play 45 mins.

 

[dadnlad]

If Everton are brave and physical they will win easily

Any sort of effort

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

0-1
80% possession
20 shots
3 on target

Everton will score with their only shot on target from a long ball over the top

I hate to say it but i think your right.
Might be worth putting a cheeky fiver on it (22/1 Skybet)

 

[RayCTID]

A nervy win. Easier said than done but go to stop Everton time wasting from the kick off.

 

[manimanc]

Can't wait. Catching up with my old mates i used to sit with, having a few cheeky one's, it's Christmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!!

 

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

Boring 0-0 all over it this.

At this stage we can only hope that’s the final score!

 

[dom]

Lets hope that no player will play unless he is 100% fit.

That is the big ask

Some people have probably made a fortune betting on us losing recently. United were 9/2, Villa 2-1 ish.

The odds are bonkers given how shit we are currently.

 

[Bluewars II]

------------Ortega

Walker-- Akanji-- Stones---- Gvardiol

-----Kovacic ------Nico O'Reilly

Foden ----Bernardo --------Doku
-------------Haaland

Dont let Gundo, and Lewis anywhere near even the subs bench

If Stones aint fit I dont know who we play as I still wouldnt even let Lewis play - maybe one of the centre halves from the academy has to step up.

Might aswell play O'Reilly, he's the only #6 we have.

 

[ColinBellsjockstrap]

4-0 City.

The turnaround starts here.

(It's got to start sometime)
