Everton (h) pre-match thread

[Pete Campbell]

I don't know anything about him! is he any good?

He's no Lukaku but he is fast and apparantly was good for Malaga last season.

They are playing a Europa league tie on Thursday and they are not used to 2 games a week, we really should be winning this with a fresh squad

We should but we look a bit disjointed at the moment.

You just know that the fat one is gonna score.

I can see us grinding out a win like we did last week, won't be pretty though.

Thanks!

So some quick forwards to chase things, but no bully to deal with. Not a match for Otamendi then!

 

[Ska Blue]

Everton are a decent passing team and I think they'll have a go, opening up the game. It's a perfect game for DeBruyne, Silva, Yaya, Sterling, Sane as a 5-man midfield in front of Danilo, Walker, Stones and Kompany & Aguero up top. 3-0 City.

Ederson
Walker
Kompany
Stones
Otamendi
Danilo
Fernandinho
De Bruyne
Silva
Aguero
Jesus

Bravo
Mendy
Toure
Gundogan
Sane
Sterling
B. Silva

2-1 City

I think Mendy, Gundogan and Bernardo are more likely to start against Bournemouth.

Hope we will get to see some energy and speed in this game. The Girona training match sometimes was a reminder of the lethargic Pellegrini-days.

 

[RandomJ]

They look like one of the slowest teams in the league. We should definitely play our pacey players. Also you just know that twat Rooney will score against us.

 

[Dax777]

Both Kompany and Stones are much better suited to playing in the middle of a 3. And Otamendi isn't ideally suited to playing on the left. Its a formation that Pep wants to play, but it doesn't really fit the players we have.

True.

I don't think Mendy or Gundogan will start for some time. Mendy's missed most of pre season, wasn't fit enough to feature in Girona, and his role in the team requires very high levels of fitness. Gundogan is just getting back from a major injury. I think we'll see a few appearances from the bench before either start.
