Btay Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Tough game to get something out of this however I think we can frustrate them if we press and play with intensity. We will need to see a lot more quality from Harrison & McNeil than we have the last few weeks. Onana hopefully back in contention as I would pack the midfield with Gana, Onana & Garner slightly further forward. Young hopefully dropping to the bench but that’s highly unlikely.

Deacs Posted February 8 Report Share Posted February 8 Like you say, it’s a tough game and I don’t expect anything from it. For that reason I wouldn’t play Onana this week. Plenty of winnable games coming up and I think we probably need 6-7 wins to guarantee safety so I wouldn’t take any risks with his fitness against City.

Romey 1878 Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Manchester City are unbeaten in their past 13 Premier League games against Everton, since a 4-0 loss at Goodison Park in January 2017. Since winning four consecutive away league games against Manchester City between 2008 and 2010, Everton are now without a win in their past 12 visits to the Etihad Stadium (D5 L7). Manchester City have not lost any of their past 23 Premier League games against sides in the relegation zone (W21 D2), since a 3-2 loss at Norwich City in September 2019. Half of Everton’s Premier League goals this season have come from set pieces, the highest of any side in the competition. Excluding penalties, only Arsenal (14) have scored more goals from set pieces than the Toffees this term (13), while only Liverpool (111) have had more shots (110). Phil Foden has been involved in eight goals in his past six Premier League appearances, scoring four and assisting four. He has also scored four times against Everton in the competition, only netting more against Brighton (six goals) and Brentford (five goals).

Tonsta Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 We need to be aware of not getting a thumping today, our GD is good compared to those around us, and will be worth an extra point at the end of the season.

badaids Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 City don’t like to cross the ball do they. Determined to thread it through the middle. Dyche has set us up well here for the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badaids Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Hope we can keep our shape, that’s the key to this. Tarks getting caught out showed what City are waiting for. A chink or slip in the armour to rush through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
