Everton v City pre-match thread

[Bluview]

I recommend going on the FIFA website and getting the dates for the international matches. Then book a holiday (obviously cash permitting) during those dates - it beats hanging around waiting for the next game. Also keeps the other half happy before she starts booking dates and wonders why you’re not happy going away whilst the derby is on! Just back from my own warm weather break refreshed and missed the international dross.
City 2-1

Agree with this.

Mad to do anything else. We field a weakened side and lose to Everton how does that set us up for Liverpool?
I’d go full strength for this and Utd. Win both and we’ll be absolutely on fire.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jesus plays and not Aguero in the CL match at Liverpool with similar tactics we used at the Rags with a false 9. This enabled us to press better and control the midfield. Therefore if fit I would expect Aguero to start against Everton. I would also expect Stones and Laporte to play against Everton along with Danilo at right back, resting Walker, Otomendi and Kompany for the Liverpool game

I think Pep regards Jesus as being a better option than Sergio for away games against decent opposition. Jesus is just so good outside of the penalty area. I would be very surprised if he didnt start at anfield, with sergio being preferred for the home games against United and Liverpool.

I’d play B Silva at Anfield due to his ball retention.

I’d play B Silva at Anfield due to his ball retention.

I think Pep will, just as he will play Jesus at Anfield as well.

We will go for as much ball retention as possible at Anfield.

Time moves so slowly whenever there's an international break. They bore the arse off me tbh.

Ditto. Couldn't give two shit's about any international game.

Long shot, my mate is looking to swap his upper tier ticket for anywhere in the lower. Anyone interested let me know.
