Everton (A) - Sun 14th May, 14:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Cricket Blue]

I think we will see quite heavy rotation with Pep in a position now where he simply has to trust his squad.

We can't wheel out the majority of yesterdays team in this match against Everton and expect it to perform against Madrid again 3 days later.

A similar team to Leeds will occur I think, maybe even with KDB out.

No chance

Has Tommy Doyles loan ended? Can we apply to get him in the squad? He'd be a far better option than the Cheshire cat.

I almost got shot on here for suggesting Tommy was a better option than phillips

Reckon we’ll see something like this (in possession):

——————————— Ederson ———————————
————— Akanji ——— Dias —— Laporte ————
————————— Lewis —— Rodri ————————
———————————— Alvarez ——————————
— Mahrez —————— Haaland ———— Foden —

Stick another in there and we’ll be fine.

You're that confident you want to play with 10 men. I'll have what youre having

Gonna be a tough game and one we can't under-estimate. Hoping Everton gave their all last week to have a free hit at City. Unlikely.

Pep as player manager would be better

I liked it because I thought SB was joking or being overly confident, I am all for a bit of positivity

I like the look of that team. I wonder about Gundo, he was absolutely out on his feet in the second half last night and I hope he has enough time to recover.

True. I don’t think Pep will trust Phillips, so I guess Gundogan, Bernardo or De Bruyne will have to play against Everton. Rodri needs a rest too but he’s arguably the player we rely on the most.

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Everton will be over confident

First time that phrase has been used in the past decade.

Oops, hahaha.

Reckon we could still do a job with 10 men. ;-)
