Manchester City V Everton pre-match thread.

[Wilf Wild 1937]

Time for the curve ball. 22.40 Thursday 4/12 OS shows tickets available in 21 blocks, after the results of the last 4 games its a disgrace that its not yet a sell out. Mary Ds The Waldorf and loads more pubs will be full and standing of twats in City tops singing CTID plus necking £25 of drink.
For me its 500 miles plus round trip and a overnight stop in Macc, if we cannot sell out Neverton who are taking there full allocation for this game then I for one am this week "Disgusted Devon" .

Its not as bad as it appears Dave. If you click on the blocks there are only a few with available seats. It looks like it will sell out easily
tomorrow. Where we might struggle is the Crystal Palace game. They aren't bringing many and its the Saturday before Christmas.

I don't mind Everton as a club or a set of fans now Moyes has gone, I could not stand the guy, there was a comedy moment in the corresponding fixture last season when they scored and set off a load of dark blue smoke bombs Negredo scored a minuet letter, whilst the blue smoke still hung over them I think that was the game Kompany picked up last seasons calf injury

Lol remember the blue smoke!

Always a tricky test the Toffees I'm much more confident of coming out on top now we look almost back to our best and tbf Everton are hardly pulling up trees themselves so I fancy us 2 nil not too concerned about rushing anyone back from injury either the lads at our disposal now are more than upto the task.

This match highlights for me the missing Dzeko, or even Negredo. Sergio has been nothing short of spectacular, but would love to see him come on if needed. Then have all of him for Roma...
Mangala/DeMic ....yes
playing as we are without Silva is down right scary
Our CB position is rapidly coming together
Dzeko and Kolarov coming soon
Looking like a Merry Christmas to me

Was it Everton we played in a night match about 4 years when the temperature was about minus 7? Think we lost as well 1-2.

Yes one of the worst nights ever going to city. I had a thousand layers on... Didn't help one bit haha

It was that cold I'd got the score wrong. Didn't remember us scoring only that tossed Cahill punching the corner flag.

 

[Sergi0 Na5r1]

Predicting a 2-1 for us against Everton. Hopefully I'm wrong & it's even better..

First time Gareth Barry will have been back, presuming he plays, so I hope he receives a good reception. Martinez sometimes uses odd tactics, thus I wouldn't be surprised to see Lukaku start out on the right wing pressed up against Clichy, with Coleman high up in support. Everton did that quite effectively against Arsenal last season.

He'll get a great reception, we're City, not Arsenal :-)

Barry was instrumental for us,a great Pro and a big reason we have made the progress we are currently enjoying - he will receive a superb welcome and deservedly so.

not an opposition to mess about with team selection, play our strongest available to get the job done.

everton are dangerous if allowed to be, take no chances.

pound for pound obviously we are better and need to show it (which we will).

we need to forget about roma until after tomorrow.
