Would it be too contraversial to suggest that I don't think KDB has been injured. He was looking fucked in games and running on empty having had no break or pre-season. I think Peps just said I want you rested for a month and come back all guns blazing. Take him a few games to be fully up to match speed now but he'll be good for the run in. Big gamble but most of the squad have now rotated out for a few weeks with either an injury or Covid. I suggest there may have been some slight manipulation of the injury situation to rest players in this strange season or I may be being a little cynical.
Doubt we'd pick games against the dippers and spurs to rest him. Plus if we wanted to rest him we could, well, rest him.
 
I just wish Everton hadn't lost to Fulham. I'd have gone for a City win normally, but I am voting a draw after their 0-2.

I just seen they haven't won at Goodison in the league since December.
Normally I'm a bit nervous about us going to Goodison it's a tough place to go, I'm confident today I think we will get all three points.
Everton losing at home to Newcastle and Fulham recently at home is very poor, So Everton heads are down at the minute and we need to capitalise on that.
 
Is Fernandinho fit? If he is I think there’s more chance of us playing the old double pivot than playing Foden in midfield. In the Spurs match, Phil gave the ball away 20 times, almost double anyone else on our team, and many were simple mistakes with control. I don’t see that performance making Pep think he can handle playing Gundogan’s role. Foden still needs to learn certain things, he’s a winger for the time being. I reckon Fernandinho or Cancelo play next to Rodri. I would like to be more attacking with Phil in there but I don’t see it happening tbh.

That would have been completely batshit mental of Pep to do, so no, I don't think it's the case.
 
I'm more nervous about this than I was for Spurs or than I am for the upcoming games vs Arsenal and United. Everton were horrific against Fulham, one of the worst performances I've seen for a long time, so I probably shouldn't be so worried. Doesn't help that I live with an Everton fan and a Liverpool fan. The derby on Saturday is going to be a nightmare.
 
Well, if some unbiased ref would gift us a fantasy penalty and red card to our opposition, we too could have maybe scored 9 goals In one game to pad our scoring situation.

But alas that seems not to be on the card for us :)

But yes, Mbappe would do nicely...

We'd score 8....miss the penalty.

I hear you but players who take a risk with a pass will always have worse pass completion stats than say a rodri. Thats why stats can be mis-leading

dont really disagree with your point tho and i noticed foden giving away a few loose uns
