City Vs Everton Pre Match Discussion Thread

Happy with the team, although I think The Pants man should've come in for Joe.

This is a huge challenge for Lescott, assuming he's assigned Lukaku. He had a torrid time of it at the end of last year, so he can't be going into this ignorant of what to expect.

Joes's hair is looking good today.

But Howard looks a cock with that beard!

Interesting team selection, luckily he has seen sense and is starting Negredo ahead of Edin...does the team selection indicate a change in formation?

 

[Benarbia]

Clearly a little worried about Everton our Manuel thought he may go a little more attacking but seems he's still a little shell shocked from midweek

Guessing it's yet another 4-4-2 Milner and Silva (being wasted) on the wings.

This.

Not convinced this will end well.

Can't understand why we stick to 4-4-2. Our last 2 managers are do stubborn

In fairness to Bobby he won the title with one formation then tried to reshape the team into something opponents didn't have sussed (3-5-2) but the players failed to take it up. Even then he switched between 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3 and 4-2-2-2.

Yet now in possession we pretty much play 3-5-2 with the left mid tucking in and the lb coming forwards.

Given this was posted before Jovetic was said to be unavailable, do I win?
