And if they played there best team they could have walked away with all 3 points.

Exactly and being tired doesn’t fall into the bracket of being unfit to play.

Fatigue or not in the big games you play the best team available to you regardless of tired or not, these guys are honed athletes quite capable of playing to the demands of the league.

I have no doubt they would have won the CL that season if they were in it, now that’s as ridiculous as you saying that if they had the same schedule as there competitors they wouldn’t have won the league, remember Bailey they were favourites with pundits and bookies to go down that season, so if winning the league is based on games and hours played and not the better football why didn’t the teams who played roughly the same amount of games and were expected to finish higher not push Spurs Arsenal City Utd Liverpool and Chelsea into 12th- 18th

No surely they’d be made to play this after all its only 5 of there squad that have it so still have plenty of players at their disposal to make a team, and of that 5 they might need the rest anyway they must surely be tired by now so won’t be missed. Or are City asking for it to be cancelled because they like all teams want to put out there best team, like any team would want to do at the top of the league clash. For City we would have rather have played this with the form we are in, City with be relieved, Ancelotti would have wanted to play this he won’t be thinking the players can have a rest he’ll be thinking we’ve missed out on a very good opportunity to put more space us and them, only the Larry lightweights will see this as a good result.

Bailey if you’re suggesting that Leicester only won the league because they played less games then your delusional, I would say Leicester players played as many games as the players in the teams you mentioned because they didn’t rotate they put the same team out every week unless of injuries.

Well that proves my point that rotation doesn’t happen because of tiredness, yet City Liverpool and Chelsea did rotate there squads during European cup games and domestic cup games, which proves that playing the same team week in and week out unless of injuries is the best way to go because you become more of team the more you work together, it could be said that the 3 teams mentioned didn’t do as well because they didn’t go for a settled team with constant chopping and changing, where Leicester didn’t do that.

And that is the point it’s a game that if we win would move us on, you have to go with your best players, DCL Doucoure Keane Godfrey every single player would gutted to be left out of the games like this, the games that can move the team forward.

How many players did Leicester rotate when they won the league they done it with minimal rotation, compared to the bigger clubs, that’s because the clubs like Leicester and us don’t have the depth of squads to replace players with players of equal ability, yet Leicester proved you wrong that fit players can play as many games as required and win the ultimate prize, we beat those teams because we were the better team on the day not because they had played a game in mid week and were tired, you are completely contradicting your own argument that teams rotate players if there tired, yet those 3 teams didn’t with the squads available to them, now who seems silly or are you more Knowledgeable than there managers. And also stop miss quoting what I say by changing the context of why I said something, that is miss quoting to make your argument look better, very poor debating.

I hope when he’s gone they turn every stone to find the evidence of his corrupt time in power, then if he’s found guilty of fraud, treason and putting the country and people at risk lock him up for a very long time, preferably the length of time he spent as President.

Agreed should start over Gordon today.

That is a fair assumption of what we are aiming for this season a place in Europe preferably the CL that’s why you have to go all out to win these games against City, they are the team’s you need to take points from the big 6 or 7 because if you don’t you won’t get your dream, so no resting players that we have no credible replacements for in games of this magnitude, to do so is defeatist and gives you no guarantee of the next game or the next, you should always try your hardest to win the next game in front of you.

Pickford. Holgate. Mina. Keane. Godfrey Davies. Doucoure. Iwobi. Gylfi. Bernard DCL If I was to see anything much different to that I would be shocked, my only doubts would be Keane and Davies who both went off with knocks.

From what I can see if we assume that Richarlison is injured you have rested one player which is Doucoure, so why only one when you have been debating that players have to be rested, I would have thought that DCL would be out for Tosun and Iwobi out for Gordon and Godfrey out for Niels. The reality is you have to play a team that is going to have the best chance of success, I believe we will see Doucoure playing and if we don’t then surely the other 3 I mentioned should be out as well.

I forgot to do the Sheffield game even though I watched the game I had family round and lost focus. Everton 0-0 City None Will change if we go with London’s team

Edging your bets Mark interesting

This rest thing is absolutely rubbish players and teams are better for the more time they have together on the pitch, the table doesn’t lie we are in the position we are because of playing the best team available to us every game, your advocating not trying to win the City game because you believe no matter what team we put out we aren’t good enough, yet we have more chance of taking 3 points against WHU, luckily we didn’t adopt that attitude against Chelsea Leicester and Arsenal, we are good enough to beat any team in this league but only as long as we give it our best shot.

Evidence other teams have rotated more than us, and how do you know that they’ve got nothing left in them that isn’t a fact that’s just an assumption on your part. And try to remember these players are athletes they are fuelled through their intake to recover their energy in a day or 2 what stops them is injuries and niggles not tiredness. It will be interesting what the line up is tomorrow.

But that’s the same for all clubs it’s a fairytale to think it’s just Everton players that get tired, when the big games come up you play your best team, it’s more important to try and take points off the likes City because if you can keep them below you you’re gonna have a fighting chance to get into the top four, DCL Richarlison Doucoure Iwobi and Gylfi will be gagging to play in that game that’s what good players want to be play in the big games, not sat at home or on the bench.

When you read that as one statement it frightening to think of the thousands of unnecessary deaths that happened due to government and their advisers not doing the right thing at the right time.

We are hearing Republicans are now standing against him yet he still refuses to do the right things, he’s refused to sign the bill that was agreed by Democrats and Republicans yet he’s still playing god putting millions of Americans in poverty and closing government departments, any country with a backbone would have implemented what you said by now, not allowed him to do what he wants, do yourselves and the world a favour get the fucker out now. Your place on the world stage is diminishing and the longer he’s allowed to carry on like he is the weaker your country becomes which isn’t good for you or us.

So not the same for other teams that their players have played the same games it’s all relative every team have had to endure the same schedule we aren’t the only ones, a draw against City would be much better than a loss it keeps them below us, I honestly think Ancelotti will go out with the best players available to him, and who knows we good even get the win it’s happened on numerous occasions over the last few years against City. But using your maxim you have to defeat your enemies to win the war, and if we consider 4th and above winning the war you can’t allow the established teams at the top take all 3 points, if we hadn’t beaten Spurs Chelsea Leicester and Arsenal they would all be above us now, that’s how important it is to take the points of these teams if you want to improve your league position. With Braithwaite Neil’s Beni Gordon and Cenk starting your looking at a massacre, I hope I never have to witness a team that has them together as long as I live.

That’s just surrendering nothing to do with trying to win a game of football, I hate it when people try to pick and choose what games to go for and what ones to chuck, usually that’s what managers do who know they have a greater chance of relegation than safety, they try to plan to beat the teams that will be in and around them come the end of the season, if you have designs of trying to finish in the top four you don’t allow the team’s who are fighting for the same positions to walk all over you. I want to see every player that started Sheffield game if not injured start the City game unless better player is ready to return from injury.

How the fuck has the American system given so much power to their Presidents, that they can single handedly hold their own people to ransom when things don’t go there way, it’s becoming a dictatorship under Trump.

That’s my concern a really bad defeat could derail the team, all will be revealed soon.
