milesey05 Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 I'm not looking forward to this game. I was still angry this morning regarding Sundays shit show. I don't mind losing if every player has worked their bollocks off and played for the badge! What worries me is that we came out against Fulham and sat back- f-ing Fulham! i must move on! Pickford will make a difference as he can kick the ball over the half way line- in fact he can throw the ball further than Olsen. Allan- bit of bite and extra pace DCL- can lead the line better than Richy. City's style will suit James. Keane back in please. Holgate dropped!!! The most important change this one. Hopefully we can give City a game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Whether people prefer Pickford or not, the one thing he has needed is competition for his place and I think unless he seriously has delusions of grandeur then he must know that Olsen is a bonafide competitive option. I expect Pickford to fully lose the arrogance that led him into the pitfalls of stupidity and resulting pressure which stemmed from the humility of putting a target on his head. I'd like to see Pickford return to see how he reacts. London Blue and dunlopp9987 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tends to do better when he’s busy and he’ll be busy in this one. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BedfordBlue Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Olsen is very erratic and looks terrified on crosses need Pickford back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I said to my son yesterday. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt about supporting Everton over the decades is that you can expect the unexpected for better or worse. Take earlier in this season on a horrendous run of form, lots of injuries and we beat Chelsea, Leicester and Arsenal back to back.

Bailey Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Gundogan confirmed as being out for them. De Bruyne back in training and Aguero likely to be on the bench. Dias fit again as well. DCL out for us, Allan and Pickford back in training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray of sunlight as always I'm much happier going into tough games this than I am "easy" ones, we're performing much better in those.

Seriously I'll be far more relaxed than Fulham/Sheffield United/Newcastle games, we can take something from this and if we don't then it was expected.

RuffRob Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 City are head and shoulders above every team in the Prem. The only really consistent team in the leauge. DCL is a massive out for us, especially in this game. King should be given a chance as a direct replacement. Is difficult not to expect the worst. But this is football and the unexpected can happen. Their in form goal scorer is out of this one, so a ray of sunlight, but Man city are not short of quality replacements, but it just might disrupt their rhythem and momentum a little bit.

I go along with that and if we apply ourselves correctly we have a better than average chance of coming away with a result from this game.

Tonsta Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) I can not see anything other than a bad week for EFC, hope im wrong. It started with Fulham and will end Saturday night.

Palfy Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Pickford Coleman. Keane. Mina. Godfrey Davies. Allan. Doucoure Richarlison. King. Digne. For me this game will be about hard work pressing every ball and not letting them settle and dictate the game with time and space on the ball, City aren’t unstoppable with hard work we can get something out of this, use our subs at the right time if players are flagging get them off before we concede even if after 35-40 minutes.
