City 0 Everton 1

What’s up with Kevin?

 

[A590 blues]

Midfield crowded out by themselves far 2 many meaniless 3 yard passes.
Play Phil deeper start with Doku.
Deliver ball earlier.

No mentioning Defence far to big a issue.

Just fooking win

------------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.

Still no Kevin?

Walker
Stones
Akanji
Gvardiol
Kova
Rico

Grealish
Doku
Haaland

what about Kevin?

 

[applecentral]

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

What about Kevin?

 

[handsofstone]

They locked out Arsenal, they'll lock us out...that's 4 clean sheets in 5

Loss

This is who we'll play

Ederson
Walker Akanji Gvardiol Lewis
Kovacic Gundogan
Bernardo Fiden Grealish
Haaland

Anyone who expects Pep to mix it up is incredibly naive

 

[applecentral]

If pep picks that team I’ll run down Market Street tackle out

Will anyone notice?

 

[Goaters]

I’d mix it up again and bring the youth in, but after Peps comments about needing his players back before results pick up I’d say same style again.

My team
ortega,
Couto

[Big Joe Corrigan]

Will anyone notice?

See Off Topic.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

I guess in trainings we will work on service to Haaland, attacking corners, and defending counters. like in past 2 months every trainings.

Trainings.....sounds like a Carry On film.

Carry On Doing The Same Fucking Thing That Doesn't Work.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Everton had a really good display away at Arsenal a few weeks back, If they play like that again we'll be in trouble.

Savinho
Haaland

0-0

 

[KDB4ever]

A loss is ok for me, but I want to see some positive changes at least.

 

[blue for life]

We will draw which in itself at the moment is an improvement. But sometimes you just turn it around with a big win. We just need confidence from a positive performance

 

[mancity111]

Can only see another loss unfortunately.

Even Everton can soak up what little we offer going forward , Haaland will be ineffective again and we will get caught out again with mistakes or poor organization at the back.

0-2.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Everton 7-1 for the win, worth a tenner?

Very possible, but they are as impotent as us going forward but are fairly strong defensively, so get your money on a 0-0 bore

 

[SWPISHOME]

Everton 7-1 for the win, worth a tenner?

I don't think Everton will score 7 mate ;)

On a serious note, that's a serious price.

 

[Fordyboy46]

No chance, losing to a shit rags team was a new low losing to a piss poor Everton would be lower than that, we simply have to win

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Can two clubs lose the same game?

No, but I wouldn't put it past us to lose it twice! Once in the first half and a reprise in the second.

 

[Fordyboy46]

I see there's still shitloads of tickets left for this on one of the best days to watch a match. Then I saw the ticket prices, nearly 70 quid for adults , just fuck off

 

[Bluemoon has risen]

The next 3 games on paper are nice games and very winnable but the way were playing you just wouldn't back us to win them would you?

I think we need to mix things up in midfield. Savinho in for Bernardo on the right, Grealish to start in the middle for Gundo and Doku on the left. Bring KDB on in the 2nd half if were struggling. Get a bit of energy in the team instead of the same tried and tested players who have been flogged and are offering nothing.
