Manchester City vs Everton pre-match thread

[Marvin]

Is it sold out? Lots of blocks on tickets.mancity.com with supposed availability, but when you click on them, they are all sold out. Something not working as it should.

One of priorities for Guardiola must be to get Kompany back in the team but after a long absence he's going to be rusty. Longer we leave it the harder it will be to come back.

Sane too. He's hardly played

The timing is good for us as we've been lacking inspiration, and playing City could be what the doctor ordered.
We've a fully fit squad 'fingers crossed' unlike yourselves, and our defensive mids have been outstanding, so we'll get plenty of opportunities to counter attack which is what we do best. If we're able to press and show intensity we'll have a good chance.
0-2 to Everton.

I mean you couldn't beat Bournemouth, Palace or Norwich but yeah, I'm sure you'll absolutely twat us.

Seems to be,in pre-season he played well and seemed to pick up the new style well but i get the feeling pep is not sold on him

Think we will need his legs. Bolasie will have a field day against kolarov. Of course if we press high and run around like nutters then it shouldn't matter but we haven't looked like we had energy since before that week in Swansea

Great read

it was some goal.

Not seen much of Everton so far this season but they seem to be doing well.
I'm hoping the nice little rest they've had will see a return to the high energy, slick passing game we had before the Celtic match.
Three nowt City, Nacho for a brace and Stones for his first.

going to have a few quid on sergio first goal. think he will be the winner today!

If, based on what Pep said, we can have sterling today and KDB back for barca I'd be happy. Not sure either game is appropriate for kompany to come back in, last thing we need to another calf problem.

Bravo
Sagna Stones Otamendi Kolarov
Dinho Gundogan
Sterling Silva Nolito
Aguero

Would like to see Sane on at some point

 

[razman]

Think sane may start? Needs a full game
