Please Santa, can we have three points?
This will be a hard watch I think. Everton have had 5 clean sheets in their last 6 games and aren't renowned as an attacking force. They will very likely put 10 men behind the ball and hope for a breakaway goal or one from a set piece
Hopefully Haaland can get the service Pep has acknowledged he should have had and Foden has had a new pair of shooting boots.
Surely we can't see Gundogan and Silva propping up the midfield again? The next three games are against teams in the bottom 7, Everton Leicester and West Ham, and all are winnable so this is the time to see who still gives a fuck. KDB, that's you.
Got a more positive feeling about this one
2-0 Haaland and Doku

I turned down a free ticket today because we have family around today.
Could be an omen for a win.

Is this it - the start if our comeback?
Hope Ake is fit to start

This will be a painful watch. Everyone camped across their box and a Harrison breakaway goal after 900+ passes from us. At least I will have the vino tinto to take the edge of it

It needs to be Hamburg style atmosphere today. We need to sing and shout the goals into the back of the net

Won’t be. Still loads of tickets left and no trains running

City still want £100+ for a dad and lad. Ridiculous

That team is more than capable of beating Everton.
Today we will see if there's anything in the down tools theories.

Kevin clearly not seen as fit for 90. Unlike last game I hope he gets 30 minutes.

Akanji and Ake off at half time with injuries. No energy in midfield, Bernardo is done. Where is the chance for O'Reilly and McAtee? Haaland not even been making runs recently and guaranteed a start due to no competition.

Haaland has had poor service. No coincidence his goals dry up when Kevin’s not playing.

I think haaland hates playing with doku and doesn’t make the runs as he knows he wont get it. As soon as grealish came on v the rags his movement completely changed.
Its the team people wanted, no walker no gundo. Look atbthe bench there are no available options. Kev isnt fit and mcatee not good enough in peps eyes(and cant be anywhere near match fit as its been so long). The rest are kids.
0-0 is my prediction
