Everton (A) - Wed 27th Dec, 20:15 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[IronsideKozuch]

Buzzing for today. So much on the line actually. We need to close the gap and Everton away is far away from easy fixture, regardless of recent history. Everton would be one point below Brighton and above Chelsea if not for a points deduction. City obviously much better football unit, but you can simply play the best patterns in the world and still drop points. I felt we were really good against Palace and they got 2 shots on target and draw happened to be a reality. Whats more - first goal for Palace we defended well. All touches and passes from Palace players incrediby bypassed goalkeeper and defenders, what would happen like 1/1000.

Point is, its not going to be easy, so I am ready to celebrate with good whisky every positive result:D

How on earth is Doku a "match winner"? He's played in multiple matches for us we haven't won. It's like there's some weird delusion people have about him. It's so strange.

We have

I'm guessing half the squad will be fucked (burnt out) for this one due to our excursions during the past week, not looking forward to it in truth.

Don't underestimate this squad with its backs to the wall..

I think the opposite they’ve just had a nice hot weather training break in the sun Pep getting time with them on the training pitch with a couple of friendly games The squad altogether for a week flying on their own aircraft Whilst the rivals have been in shitty weather Britain short dismal days and important matches to play Being on the World Champions

Come on, the training pictures show Lewis, Aké, Grealish, Walker, Kovacic and Nunes! On that basis, we can't put a team out and the match is forfeit. The photographer has no brief to cover everyone. The pictures establish nothing whatsoever.

Oh fuck who is in goal :)

We’ll see but I’m with you. I think the CWC was a distraction for the players and pep. We clearly wanted to win it. Now we won it we can concentrate fully on the league for the next couple of months.

I'm hoping we’ll see a more focused and determined city going forward.
