Everton (H) - Sat 18th Oct, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Centurions]

This is the line up I’d like to see.

………………….Donnarumma
Khusanov…..Stones….Gvardiol….Ait-Nouri
…………………Gonzalez
………Reijnders………Foden
Cherki…………………………..Marmoush
………….…………Haaland

Got to put Doku in, I've just been laughing at the Jones Knows betting/predictions page on SSN.



Jake O'Brien vs Jeremy Doku is shaping up to be a mismatch and one punters should be looking to profit from.

If O'Brien emerges from this duel with clean shorts, his shoes on the right feet and a clean sheet, I'll tip my betting cap to him. But I'd rather side with reality and back him to get carded at 7/2 with Sky Bet, a price that screams value.

Doku isn't just a livewire, he's a walking yellow card generator. The Belgian winger has been fouled 2.43 times per 90 in the Premier League this season and he is the reason why opposition right-backs and right centre-backs have picked up a card in six of City's seven games he's featured in.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-0​

Funny thing is he's been fouled twice as much as that, just doesn't get given

True, although if he stopped looking for everything (Savinho is even worse) then he may find himself getting the correct decision more often. I'm not a fan of that sort of behaviour.

I think sav "simulates" much more, which I too dislike. Doku does tend to have that shocked look on his face everytime he doesn't get a foul!

 

[lionheart]

I was really up for this but after reading that spot on honest analysis I’m switching back to Chelsea and fuming that Carl palmer is injured.

Carl Palmer is a rock drummer, pal. As for the team selections posted recently, I don't see Khusanov, Cherki and Ait-Nouri starting. Too risky when others are playing well.

 

[denTTony]

This is the line up I’d like to see.

………………….Donnarumma
Khusanov…..Stones….Gvardiol….Ait-Nouri
…………………Gonzalez
………Reijnders………Foden
Cherki…………………………..Marmoush
………….…………Haaland

I thought Khusanov was still out?

 

[ysmsa]

All talk of Arse extending their lead at the top today, if they win away at Fulham!

No mention of the fact City will go top with a plus 2 goals win and,Bournemouth drop points away at Palace.

I think there is panic that we may be back!

Yep if get the job done they'll shit the bed like always

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Manchester is full of shit apparently

Well that’s all we will hear today

 

[simon23]

Donnarumma
Khusanov
Dias
Gvardiol
Ait Nouri
Gonzalez
Reijnders
Foden
Marmoush
Cherki
Haaland

why would you put Alt Nouri straight back in?......he was terriblein the games he played prior to injury (the game vs spurs was one of the worst displays by a single player Ive seen under Pep)

and why does Marmoush come in for Doku? Doku has literally been our best attacking player outside of Haaland?

Not one player should ever walk back into this team...

even Cherki whose replacements havent lit the place up (Bernardo and Bobb) shouldnt be straight back in...places are earned.

 

[mrtwiceaseason]

At what minute will "you cheating bastards " get sung and by which set of fans ??

 

[nico04]

No Rodri and no Khusanov means the team won't be as compact in build-up or transitions, midfield is where a game is won or lost imo. We need to find the best midfield set-up without Rodri. Imo it's Nico G, Kova and Tijji.

 

[west didsblue]

Donna kebab
Khusanov
Stones
Gvardiol
8N Uri
Rudolf
Rodri
Foden
Doku
Cherki
Håland

Although I think Dias will start ahead of Stones or Gvardiol, and Bernardo ahead of Cherki.

 

[Gray]

Donnarumma
Nunez
Dias
Gvardiol
O'Reilly
Gonzalez
Reijnders
Foden
Bobb
Doku
Haaland

 

[KS55]

In a very rare move the PL computer has come up with a home fixture for City at 3pm on a Saturday. It is to be hoped that this unusual state of affairs does not confuse the players too much.

Because they’re new

 

[Paleblue2]

I'd like to see Kova back in midfield, and Marmoush on for the last 15.

We've got 3 on the trot after the next international break. Can't recall when that last happened.

Haven’t heard Oh Manchester Is Wonderful in response for many years now . Maybe the words “tits” and “fannies” are too unpalatable for the daytrippers / tourists. Or, more likely, they’re not Mancunians.

I think he stays on his feet most of the time.
