Everton v City pre-match thread

even more mmm...especially as Sane was very ineffective at LWB in the early part of the season and has been immense back up at LW, would be almost neutering him which is pointless.

I agree completely. Sane is at his best in the final third. I may be completely wrong. We shall see...

Back 4 with Laporte at left back?

sam thinks it's a back 3,i expect a booting for kev and dave

please blast them blueboys

We’re baaaaaaack!!! About time too. Break so long it seems like a new season.

Why are you surprised? He's a complete and utter sick note. Been on the physio table more than he has been on the pitch in the time he's been with us.

Not true at all really, he's been one of our stand out players this season, and has really stood up to the occasion.

Trying Laporte at LB to see if he's the best bet to take on Salah?

 

[SWP's back]

Even Fat Sam doesn’t know if it’s a three or a four at the back.

 

[Blueknows]

I’d say everton will ping long balls to Calvert Lewin hoping he wins some for Walcott/bolasie to chase

Just like the home game with Calvert Lewin going down holding his face to get Walker sent off expect the same

They'll be fired up. Allardyce loves nothing more than turning over one of the big boys. Using his usual spoiling, backs to the wall, physical approach. Let's stick it to the bent, corrupt old bugger. Everton have players with ability so no taking them lightly.

Apologies for appearing thick, but will Laporte be at LB???
