expect a high scoring game, both sides not knowing how to defend ... still 4-2 to City though. hattrick time for Kun

 

[Viridian]

hopefully we can build on this newfound resilience we've discovered again (unbeaten in six in the league now) and take advantage of the fact that Howard is unlikely to play.

Caballero
Zabaleta - Otamendi - Demichelis - Clichy
Yaya Toure - Fernandinho
Navas - Silva - Sterling
Aguero

Hart, Sagna, Angelino, Fernando, Delph, De Bruyne, Iheanacho.

 

[york away to this!]

with the nippers at their mum's, we're vacating the family stand and going to be in the south stand.

Does anyone know any swear words we can use?

Hate to say it but Yaya needs to start this one on the bench along with either Silva or KDB. The back four pretty much picks itself, only decision to make is Zaba or Bacary. Fernandinho should start with Delph and the four in front should be Silva or KDB, Sterling and Navas with Sergion up front. We need to blitz them with a high tempo first 20 minutes, score a couple of goals and let them chase the game. As they get more and more desperate and tired we can bring on the likes of Yaya to pick them off and score more

Nice idea but not a chance in Hell that Yaya won't start

Everton made our midfield look like it was non-existent. Besic, Barry, Barkley and Lukaku managed to tear us apart. We need to make sure our midfield is high energy and take the game to Everton. They'll be nervous in comparison and they've had a couple of injuries and been inconsistent. With Aguero on the pitch we'll also have a chance, I think we just need to ensure our back four are protected and then look to attack quickly. Martinez won't show us any respect, and I don't think he'll see the point in sitting deep and defending considering they've been incapable of defending this season except for when we tried to pick them off in the league (though we didn't test them much).

If we come out of the blocks quick, and get the equaliser their heads will drop and I think we'll roll them over.
