Re: City v Everton - Live Thread
That's a fucking odd choice by Pep....really hope this doesn't back fire, unless he's decided to play Fernandinho at RB?

Re: City v Everton - Live Thread
Its about time itchy got a start plus Aguero was playing half injured in the internationals. Rather he started against Barca. Pep is all about surprising line ups he must have spotted a weakness in Everton's play that can be exploited by overloading the mid field. Very attacking line up should be interesting

Interesting is definitely the word I'd use....I'd also add 'fucking worrying team selection'.

Re: City v Everton - Live Thread
we are obviously going out to out score Everton as I cannot see us not conceding with that line up. Can't wait to see Sane in action hoping he has a blinder.

Re: City v Everton - Live Thread
Well, lots of FF teams are under pressure already with Serge on the bench. He'll come on or a few minutes at the end, not score, get booked and bag us no points whatsoever.
There was talk early this week of Fernandinho playing RB.
Surprised Nolito isn't playing and surprised KdB is.

Re: City v Everton - Live Thread
Exactly. I just don't get Nolito not playing and risking KDB....then going to a back 3 and dropping Aguero. It's totally bizarre and something we'd slate Pellegrini over if we lose.
Guess we have to trust him - I think I'd rather Fernandinho at RB than a 3.

We'll see. It looks a bit odd, but won't matter if we batter them.

Re: City v Everton - Live Thread
I think Ferna will play RB, with Gundogan in front of the defence and Silva and KdB ahead of him, Sane and Sterling out wide with Itchy up top. Hope he doesn't play Sterling on the left as Sane hasn't done enough to get in ahead of Nolito for me and I've liked Raheem on the right wing.

when we move it quickly, we look very dangerous

Re: City v Everton - Live Thread
don't know what sane is doing now. not taking his man on and not helping KdB when he was going through.

Re: City v Everton - Live Thread
Why can't we shoot? Seriously it's our Achilles heal. Serg and Kolarov are the only ones with any sort of shot

No goals, but you gotta say the formation seems to be working a treat

Re: City v Everton - Live Thread
i'd like sane to take his man on immediately he gets the ball. he takes a touch or two allowing a 2nd man to come back. take the lb in and you're in on goal

Re: City v Everton - Live Thread
we've played very well, but no killer punch. ref going easy on the everton players as i think there should have been 2-3 yellow cards. terrible tackle on sterling by coleman, penalty by jags - you can't trip someone up in the bx and avoid a card really, and an attempt to stop a quick free kick.

Re: City v Everton - Live Thread
Great work up to the penalty box, then the passing has been shite.
Kelechi has been awful....get Aguero on at HT.
KDB? Tut tut.
Think Sane has been excellent - really skillful and worked really hard to win the ball back.
Also think Coleman is lucky to be on the pitch after that tackle on Sterling.
All in all...the new formation is working well, but Everton will surely try and press us more or pump more big balls over the top, as there's always a mistake in the defenders.
Get Kun on and get these 3 points!!

Decent half but as you say not good enough where it really matters. Shit penalty. Itchy not doing enough Sergio has to come on

We keep playing like that in the 2nd & the goals will come, looks like Kun will replace Itchy (think he picked up a knock)

He's played like he's had a knock since the KO!

Re: City v Everton - Live Thread
This side looks very well balanced, with KdB, Sane, Sterling and Silva all moving around well. Everton don't know what to do with us, so they're parking the bus and pumping it up to Lukaku. I was thinking a back three was risky, but up to now we're holding up well enough.

Re: City v Everton - Live Thread
Yeah, but they've had 2 breaks, but for a poor ball, they could have been in 3 v 3. Otamendi always tries to win 'every' single header and on occasions, he's going to miss the header and Lukaku or Bolasie will be in behind him....sometimes, he just's needs to hold them up and not try to win everything.

Re: City v Everton - Live Thread
so many games we've been well on top first half and have no lead or a slender lead at HT.
