Spot on,so I will go for a 2.2 draw (but hope we win 3.0) seriously though as you say Everton seem to raise their game when we roll into town,Everton had a very good win at Southampton so it is going to be another hard game,but then again it is the premier league...
Actually, words ending in -IZE is called Oxford English. It's NOT American. It's just that they choose to spell it -IZE or -IZATION whereas the English have a choice between -ISE and -IZE.
Also, I'm an Everton fan. Absolutely hated City when Mark Hughes was manager. But since he's gone, I don't mind City at all, like most Evertonians. I've noticed that posters were saying how this is 'our cup final'.......Funny..... Liverpool, Man Utd, and Chelsea fans say the exact same thing about Everton. No Everton always raise their game against big teams then lose the next game to teams at the bottom.
An excellent OP again, even if it was spoilt by the American version of 'Ring-a-ring-rosie' ;)
I agree with whoever posted that if Zab and Clichy are to be given a run out soon then Watford would be the match, keep this back 4 together for Everton.
I would like to know the strengths and weaknesses of Jagielka and Stones to know if its worth giving Bony a start over Aguero. Although, a run of games might do Kun good (I must look up the next few fixtures).
Got to say I can't remember when I was last this confident going into a game against Everton.
A-tishoo! A-tishoo!
That's the version I know aswell, was being lazy and googled the words to paste as was on tablet not computer
Should be same side for me and agree that it's great going into this game with confidence.
Bony has an amazing touch and would be interested to see how we play with Bony playing with Aguero, I'm assuming Navas would be the one to miss out.
Ah, Wikipedia! only thing less reliable is the Daily Star. Oh, and the Sun. And the Mirror. And the Daily Fail of course. And the... err, on second thoughts, let's forget it!
Got a feeling we won't see two strikers again until we're chasing a match. Besides which, according to the OP (but what does he know....), Everton attack down the flanks so we probably need Navas (or similar) to nullify them. That said, the little I've seen of them recently they seem to go down the middle a good bit with Barkley and Miralas (sp). And don't forget Zinadine.
Why I mentioned the strikers originally was that it had been pointed out that Terry/Cahill would struggle with the pace and movement of Kun (as proved to be the case) but would fancy themselves against the physicality of Bony. I was wondering if Bony would have some edge over Jagielka/Stones. That said, Kun has the edge over pretty much everybody.

Are you as pessimistic about this referee as everyone else?
jagielka is the quickest player in the league btw
But if we were to win on Sunday, we'd be sitting at 9 points with Watford home, Palace away (tricky) and West Ham home for the next three.
I'd keep the starting XI exactly the same until Watford, but hope to see Zaba and at least one youngster make an appearance off the bench.
Pellegrini prefers Aguero to Bony and made the change. I think he will do the same with Zab for Sagna, the same reason.Then what is your logic for suggesting the change?
