Everton (A) - Mon 4th May, 20:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[GaudinoMotors]

Disappointing set of results so far this weekend. Don't add to it tomorrow City!

I used to dread playing Everton, seems like they always had our number. Feels like it's flipped the past 5 years or so. Either way, tough place to play and they'll put up a fight. Think we win this but it won't be easy.

 

[Stoned Rose]

These have got a shite home record this season.

We need a no nonsense 3 points, the more the GD improves the better.

 

[RayCTID]

Try not to chase down the gd. Get the 3 points first.

 

[Goater101]

Absolutely buzzing for tomorrow. Enjoy these moments. Title races won’t come as often when Pep leaves we’ve been spoilt beyond words. Up th blues

Let’s just get the win first and see what happens after it.

West Ham wont be easy for them, they are fighting for their lives ...

The problem is they don’t seem to be fighting very hard if they are losing 3-0 at Brentford.

Arsenal will win their other two easily. The only hope is West Ham but they don’t look great to be honest. Arsenal couldn’t have hand picked a better run in than this.

We have a chance though and 3/4 weeks ago we didn’t so I’ll take that and see what happens.

 

[Claytop]

Still no sign of Rodri, guessing he won’t be available tomorrow.

I dunno WH got mega unlucky. Post twice, and hit the bar. Could have a been a different game if those shots had been a inch in the better direction...

They were insanely unlucky, the Hammers. Hit the woodwork four times and had a pretty clear penalty ignored by the ref/VAR.

Lads have had plenty of rest and this year to still be in a title race feels just as exciting if not more than when we was dominating as I never expected this new look team to be finishing this strong, can't afford any slip ups now come on city

That whole Lescott era was almost toxic. At the time it probably felt from their perspective we were overtaking theme without any sense of meritocracy which I get. However once we started beating Liverpool to the title the narrative shifted. Very similar to the story with us and spurs.

If we can win 2-0 I'll be delighted. However I can't help thinking that Burnley game last week may have fucked us!
I no longer think it's a matter of goals. We fully need arsenal to drop points but the fact West ham lost and spurs won there's now more pressure on the hammers to do us a favour and beat arsenal next week. We just need to win our games!!

 

[Blueeciteh]

Rodri and Dias should be back for this. Much needed experience.

I don’t think Dias will be back

 

[Kippax blueboy]

Like the fans from the invisible man were not really here. City twat Everton tomorrow chill out you bunch of insecure sausages.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

Up The Toffees
Sorry, but, well ... ya know

Our needs greater than yours TD. Just give us this one hey la..;-)

 

[meeesh]

Shooting boots on or should I say fucking shoot and we can win easily! 4-0 would be sweet although Everton aren’t that bad, but liverpool won there ffs

Good god, Fulham. What use are they? No major honours in their whole history, unremarkable stadium that still looks boring even after the renovation, they never turn up in the months of April or May unless they're in the Championship, one Europa League final 15 years ago which they got battered in, a bunch of embarrassing relegations to boot. Can't rely on them for big scalps, they've got no players anyone cares about, their away following outside of London is a minibus load, there's that bizarre away end at Craven Cottage that the home fans can sit in. Has anyone ever seen or met a Fulham fan? Do they just hire ringers outside the ground? Just a nothing club who I never miss when they're not in the PL.

I guess they were useful for £11 I've made at the bookies this afternoon.

Just a mini-Arsenal sympathiser club. Once had the same Chairman at the same time and nearly merged with each other.

 

[WestGorton]

Just win. Nothing else.

 

[Ivan Lentil]

“Oooh very tough game is Everton away” parrot all the know nothing pundits blissfully unaware that we’ve won 8 or 9 on the bounce there and ignoring the fact that Everton seem to be on the beach already.

Notwithstanding the fact that all games in title run ins can be fraught affairs we couldn’t really have handpicked a better away game than this one. We’ll win it much more comfortably than we won at Burnley.

 

[Ric]

Guessing Rodri won’t be available, so presume this will be the team:

Donnarumma
Nunes
Khusanov
Guehi
O’Reilly
Gonzalez
Silva
Cherki
Doku
Semenyo
Haaland

Not too worried about goal difference yet, just try and get the win and take it from there.
