pete0 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Must win, probably not, but a must not stick. Hopefully Moyes (if he's still here) doesn't crawl into a shell and forfeit the game from the off like today and has the balls/brains to twist. City at home is usually a game that picks the boys up, whilst putting two fingers up to clubs or now more accurately franchises that have sold their soul, but of late it seems like Davey has given up the battle. Team I'd like to see play. __________Mucha Coleman Heitinga Duffy Baines _____Gibson Fellaini Osman ______Barkley Mirallas __________Jelavic With the instruction of Osman and Gibson to stay aware of the wings (City don't really play down the flanks much), Felli to soak up the pressure and get forward when/if we are comfortably in control. Ross/Mirallas given the freedom to cover where ever as long as they stay up the pitch and close down when not in possession. Jelavic to make space for the other 2 to take a shot or them the option of a through ball. Stones, Oviedo, Hitz, Junior, and Anichebe all warming up from the off to keep the players -lucky enough to be playing- on their toes. (Awaits the show us your badges brigade). If Moyes plays the same old players the same old way I'm going to turn into a monkey having a whizz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearso Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hard to get excited for this. Gonna have to have a speech written about how City are a soulless club of mercenaries for when my city fan friend comes to rub it in after we get hammered. Let's hope gibbo repeats his heroics.

Fearthainn Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I spent all of last week excited about the Wigan game. This week I cannot even think about the Man City one. I'll be going and probably be up for it on Friday night or something but it's hard to post about it at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'll be going but not looking forward to it. Manchester City thumped Barnsley 5-0 so they are in better form than us (and have a much bigger and better squad). I can only see this ending in defeat. Especially if Moyes sticks with Neville in the centre of midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 We usually do really well against City so can see us nicking it to compensate for the loss against Wigan. They always do this though, we play a shit team like Wigan and might as well not have showed up then we play one of the best teams in the world and all of a sudden we can play world class football. It pisses me right off the overall attitude of the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droobie Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) This is what I'm expecting us to line up with. Let's see if the team has anything left in the tank?

Droobie Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 No MIrallas? Yeah... I've got a poxy feeling that Moyes will bench him for the start of the game and bring him on later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Just had a look at that 'futhead' website that Droobie just posted.

Dalziel Kane Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I must try and have a go at another match day thread if possible before end of season. I would have liked a Millwall semi-final game but that's dead in the water now. Only to add, you never know what will occur, but City are a very good side but we usually do well at home against these, but will it continue here ? A draw seems most probable right now.

Did a screen print and edited the image (crop and resize). A bit fiddly, but looks good. Now all I need to figure out is how to have the pic come up properly in the post...

pete0 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Neville Southall @NevilleSouthall I think on sat after 11 mins we should give moyes a standing ovation for 11 years service he has been great manager We should no forget that Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearthainn Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Would actually be a good idea I think. Show him we are thankful but that it's time for both him and Everton to move on. Try and end things on a good note. Kenwright would then probably not understand and offer him yet another contract with a 50% pay rise.

Popular Post MikeO Posted March 11, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Probably better to do it after eleven seconds....we'll likely be a goal or two down by eleven minutes and people will have gone off the idea.

Hafnia Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 11 years??? He's hardly been doing it out of the goodness of his heart! He's the 4th/5th highest paid manager in the league!

pete0 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 What a joke the man with the face of incompetence* is allowed to ref this fixture again. Shouldn't even be employed anymore after the pen he gave them for an Fellaini, sorry Osman foul(?). *Seriously, the majority of first impressions are right so there's a good chance this bloke is as daft as a brush. His decision-making has hardly helped change my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weebittight Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Keep it tight and try to pinch one from a set piece. Trouble is we cannot defend corners ourselves. City will have too much quality for us I fear. Don't want to see Neville anywhere near the team sheet. He was done three seasons ago.

Zoo Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I'd say defend would be the best option against City but we can't defend this season at all. I think that going all out attack is the only way we are going to get anything and just hope that somehow we score more goals than them.

pete0 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Just watched McAleny's strike on the OS and it is a beauty. He's scored 6 in 6 now, deserves a run out. Barkley looked lively as well, sending off was stupid on his behalf, but still a harsh decision. Be a nice little shock to the City stars bringing the kids on to give them a surprise runaround.

weebittight Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Stubbsy seems to be doing an excellent job with the kids. Like to see some of them get a proper chance in the first team before the end of the season ie not the last three minutes when we are losing.
