Everton (H) - Sat 31st Dec, 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[Inter Me Nan]

Enjoy, hopefully the Nordic 2nd coming delivers a cutthroat masterclass in finishing (:

Someone alluded the other night after Leeds that there may be a game in the not to distant future where he takes most of his chances, which is averaging 5 currently, that would be a nice visit I’d presume (:

Hope you're right I've just triple captained him.

I think he’ll get a double hat trick while he’s here.

Alvarez already has one of course…

City go large in this fixture.
6 or 7 times the Everton net will bulge.
At 1/8 on a City win a bet may not be worth it but City will go many in this game as a springboard for the fixtures ahead.

 

[Bill Walker]

I'm going for 3-0 City win, Haaland 2, Foden 1

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

I’m predicting a fulsome game where the referee dictates the play until we go at least 2 up before a first yellow is shown to an Everton team who have gotten away with murder.

They’re not usually nasty but if the ref allows it, who could say no.

I take nothing for granted after the home loss to Brentford,we should win but football is a funny old game ..

Brentford are a decent team who move the ball well and know what they are supposed to be doing. We are none of that. Easy win for you and its not even Haaland I fear tbh, its the general football.

Think Frank may go 5 at the back and sit deep to avoid a thrashing. It will be awful to watch as we cant counter at all so it will be attack v defence until it breaks then its damage limitation.

4-0 City

I predict the goalie will get booked for time wasting








Ederson

Bernie, Foden and Walker definitely; however rico deserves to keep his place imo, think you may be right though, long month and run of games upon us; thankfully it’s when we are at our best!

Rico's been great , but he's just had 2 full 90s , & he's 17 ; don't overplay them when they're in their teens. Very convincing indeed last couple of games , but he needs a rest. Also shown enough to make himself a very capable option for DM when Rodri needs a rest & Fatty's unfit (again). He'll get his fair share of football this season.
