Everton (h) pre-match thread

Pep failed to do fuck all.

The forwards missed a bucketful of chances in the first and nearly as many at 0-0 in the second.

Hopefully the players don't let him down again today.

Agree, but it helps those wanting to blame Pep :)

I doubt he will revert to a back four for this one. I can see him playing one of Jesus /Aguero ... myabe adding sterling in.

Against brighton i thought we missed Yaya... as many have said they will pack the midfield and try and stifle us..

Doubt Mendy is ready - would be great if he was, think we could play Sane LWB if we brought Yaya into the CM.

Ederson

Kompany
Stones
Otta

Mendy/Sane
Yaya
Fernandinho
Walker

Silva
KDB

Aguero

COME ON CITY!!!

It is quite amusing when fans pick a team and formation for a particular match.
I suppose they can do it without knowing the niggles and knocks each player has.The need to plan and prepare for more than one game. The personal issues a player may have. The team and formation the team is up against..
The only certainty with peps team is that it will only rarely be unchanged.

Please no sane as LWB,he can't do the defensive work

 

[worsleyweb]

hope we are 442 as opposed to 3-5-2

Just on the train in, hoping they don't park a few busses, would like to see Raz start he looked sharp all pretty season, up the blues.

Everyone taking their new scarf?

Ah. Sad bastards.

Not overly bothered whether we play 442 or 352 so long as we actually take a few chances.

Play any formation at all as long as it =3 points :)

Pep failed to win any Everton game last season.

Shit 1-1 draw at home even tho we dominated a lot and had lot of chances but missed so much of them like usually...

Then he went to the Goodison and and lost 4-0 (!), we were awful and horrible.

Surely another dissapointing result agains them cannot happen again. We need 6 points out of 6 so far, no excuses.

Hope you're reading this Pep, c***.

EIther way Everton are gonna park the bus in the cup final.

The last time we played them, it was something similar. They sat back, had some 25+% possession and 4 shots - 4 goals. Bravo helped the scoreline too, but we played at a snail's pace that made the scoreline a deserving one. We need to start at a high tempo which we are capable of, get an early goal and open the game up.

City go 2 up unisde 15 minutes, then struggle to get a 3rd before HT. Early in the 2nd half as the Toffee's push to get goals; Ederson double assist's for Sterling and Sane. Route one "Ave it"!!!!!

 

[KS55]

I'm betting that, if Everton are at all open, we'll see an Ederson special. Hope kun doesn't miss this time.

Morning press to read something along the lines of 'City ruining football with back to the 90's Wimbledon style. The country is behind United to show them the way with their beautiful football'.

Maximum partial eclipse just after kick off tonight. That's gotta be a good sign.

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

hope we score within the first 20 mins. 3-0 to city i reckon

 

[JULES]

2-0, with the obvious penalty not given to us and lots of yellows for us, normal service resumed.

Don't think we'll be seeing much sunshine tonight, pissing it down here.
