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

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 20:00 BST.

Could be 6 behind going into it with Arsenal playing Fulham before us. However, if GD comes into it they haven't really put any scoreboard pressure on us with that result v Newcastle.

Just a must win game for us, hopefully Rodri is back.

-----------------Donnarumma
Nunes--Khusanov--Guehi--O'Reilly
------------Rodri------Bernardo
Semenyo-----Cherki-----------Doku
------------------Haaland

Gonzalez probably comes in if Rodri is out, although I rated Kovacic's performance.

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

 

[wolves99]

Everton fans not very optimistic think Europe is over and their home form is poor. 1-3 city

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

3-0 City. Hard. Forced. No fucking about.

 

[Paleblue2]

Went for the win, because we have to, and every game now and hope its enough

 

[Ethan23]

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

Rodri yes. Absolutely zero chance Dias gets back into this team

 

[SamTheGuru]

Gone for a loss. Pessimistic hat on. And I can also see a twist in the title race yet. (As in both Arsenal and us will drop at least 4 points yet).

 

[Leeky]

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

Love Ruben but Kusa and Guehi for me

 

[Zenmanc]

Kind of hate that Arse can go 6 points up before this. Their fans will be dancing in the streets because they have nothing else to cheer.

 

[HolisticJim]

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

Not sure why we would break up a CB partnership which hasn't conceded a single goal in 5 consecutive pairings bar the freak cock-up v Arsenal.

Dias would be a Bizaare selection.

Difficult to call this one...if we win this, we win the rest too.

Just said they should be back…I didn’t mean necessarily in the starting 11 though I think Rodri will be.

 

[malg]

Tough game. They're a wounded beast and we need to be at our best

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Strange side, usually at best workman like but can on occasion throw in a couple of results.

Probably our second hardest game left, maybe 3,4 or 6 points behind the throbbers by KO.....don't be wasteful upfront and shoot for the corners of the net Pickford Rex can't reach far.

Annoyingly I'll be flying during the game, I was expecting the game to be on the Sunday as a birthday prezzie for me.

 

[yeseye]

1-4 Come on City!

 

[Gray]

They are gritty and determined, but limited in attack.

We need to take our chances unlike yesterday when most of our finishing was lamentable.

 

[NordStrike]

Just before the match kicks off, Arsenal will likely be 6 points ahead. It’s huge pressure on the boys.
But we won there in 2023 and 2025 when it was absolutely necessary.

Do it again.

 

[Claytop]

Team picks itself if Rodri is fit.
