Manchester City v Everton
Etihad Stadium, City of Manchester

Saturday 5 September 2013
Kickoff: 12:45PM

Referee: Jonathan Moss
Assistants: J Brooks and L Betts
Fourth Official: Martin Atkinson


They are unbeaten ... and need to be beaten, simples!
And surely Panti will start?

Can't see us winning this, we were never good against Wigan and now Rob is at Everton with a stronger squad can see his side teaching us a lesson, lets hope I am wrong, but if the clueless one spends another game walking round his technical box with his hands in his pockets making it obvious he is out of ideas I will explode.....

If we do look like winning though we need to sing the moyes song...

Come on feel the noise
We love David Moyes
He's taking you down down down...

should be easily heard on TV....

Our toughest home league game of the season. Hope Pelle is aware of this and gets the players fired up as otherwise it will be three losses on the bounce.

Like that one, i will be listening out for it.

Also think it will be a tough game but we are at home and really need to bounce back from the last two results with a convincing performance.

The team sheet will certainly make interesting reading.I get the feeling Manuel may need to engineer a few changes.

Mad, A must win or the wheels are off, you can see the headlines now. Rodwell, Milner and Jovetic to start for me, time for a statement from our players. Tough game for them as well as us if we are bang at it. Lose and the Scum will be off the back pages and Pelli will be wearing a turnip. Plus Arsenal will be out of sight to another team, us.

Surely Zaba and Kolarov (provided neither aren't injured) are sure to come back in. I think Milner, Negredo, Silva, Vinnie, and Yaya need to start. The other 3, I dunno.

So not discussing the goalkeeper deliberate?

Panti
Zaba - Komps - Lescott - Kolarov
Yaya - Rodwell
Navas - Aguero - Silva
Negredo

Please!!!!!!!

I meant the other but yeah. The other CM, DF, FW, and GK spots are "up in the air". I really don't know based on recent form

Milner needs to come back into the side. He pretty much only puts in excellent performances for us (perhaps not Villa last week) but we were a much improved side against Bayern when he came on. He would start every week for me.

If Nastasic isn't dropped now then he never will be. He has absolutely no defensive strongpoints whatsoever and it's increasingly looking like we've wasted an awful lot of money on him - £12m plus Savic (who we paid £7m for). Lescott needs to be brought back in. This is particularly essential considering Lukaku will be up front for Everton who would make Nastasic his bitch.

Negredo needs to start too.

we have to win this game,and on paper we should win this game.

I think Everton will be well up for this game and 9/2 for the win has to be the best odds on the fixed odds this weekend.

Ii hope i don't see Manuel sitting there with his head in his hands having a sneaky look at his watch to see how long is left.

We need some lads in the team that will play with passion and grit for this game. Milner, Negredo, vinnie (obviously), and Zabba for sure. They'll be confident going into this game and will try exploit our weaknesses.

I would also like to see Milner in the team - probably for Navas. Milner isn't someone to build our game around, so either Nasri or Silva needs to play too, if not both.

Dreading it but, as usual we'll beat the better team.

Typical City is dead and buried!

I'm not sure about Toure in the defensive role. One he's crap at it and two such a waste.

Very important three points this one. Really haven't got a clue what to expect after the last two games.

I can't see jovetic starting instead of Aguero
