***City v Everton Official Match Thread***

[nottsblue]

Back to proper football again after another shite International break.

3pm KO today so no TV broadcast on conventional media. Rodri definitely out and probably Khus as well. Might see Ait-Nouri and Marmoush on the bench. Other than that it's full strength.

Got a good record against Everton and I'm confident we'll get the result this afternoon. Moyes is horribly defensive in his approach so it will likely be one of those dull games we all love with the opposition putting 10 behind the ball and hoping for a fluke

2-0 Haaland Doku

[Mase]

At the game today, hoping for a good one! Yeah

Tourist

Grealish will be on the piss again

Come on blues

Also fuck city with the whole ticket transfer shite

[john@staustell]

Gonna be one of those frustrating games. 90% possession, Dias shooting ridiculously badly from outside the box, 1000 sideways passes.

Only consolation is they have a big black lump up front, replaced by another big black lump when he goes off. Both terrible IMHO. So quick breakaway goal may well be less likely than usual.

A boring 2 nil, also Doku and Haaland

[Wooders]

Can’t keep up with the rules is grealish ineligible for this one?

Absolutely ineligible mate.

That's good for us, as he seems to be off the juice and found his mojo. For a bit.

[Blue Jam]

My usual negative perspective...

Everton on the up and due a win.

Don't know why, nut I feel that the international break will affect our recent resurgence us more then them.

On paper it's ours.

In turf, its anyone's.

[CTID Hants]

Your City side to take on Everton

XI | Donnarumma, Nunes, Dias (C), Ake, O'Reilly, Nico, Reijnders, Savinho, Foden, Doku, Haaland

SUBS | Trafford, Stones, Marmoush, Kovacic, Cherki, Bernardo, Gvardiol, Bobb, Lewis

Josko on the bench!!

[PeterParker]

Are we one up yet?

[Mase]

Savio hahahahahahahahaha

[john@staustell]

Savio hahahahahahahahaha

I know what he's thinking - packed defence, tricky player to jiggle through etc etc

Trouble is he's tried it time and again and it's not fuckin workin.

I guess the way to look at it is the alternative was Bernardo Silva!

Edit - I suppose there's Bobb. But he's not doing it for me either

Wt fucks gvardiol dropped for

[john@staustell]

Wt fucks gvardiol dropped for

Thing is, we don't know who's got a knock and who hasn't. Who's got what issues when they hook them up to those space age machines etc

Plus we're playing at Estadio de la Cerámica on Tuesday.

So it's best not to jump to hysterical selection conclusions, even though it's a major feature of our site

Exactly we don’t know so could be fully fit and dropped

[Beefymcfc]

Come on City!

[Slim]

Right wing is a bit of a problem. Savio and Bobb have both not really been up to scratch so far this term.

Maybe when Cherki comes back we can move Foden out wide, but I also wouldn't want to upset the applecart when it comes to an inform Phil.

[city72]

Do we go top with a win

[Bluemoon4610]

Do we go top with a win

Possibly, Arse have a GD 2 better than us, we have scored more so any win by 2 goals or more will do.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Wt fucks gvardiol dropped for

Probably had to many “ minutes”

[nottsblue]

COME ON BLUE BOYS
