Kante is a machineLooking forward to the WC with him and Pogba in midfield
Kante and Bakayoko, Pogba on the bench.

I love football fans
I love football fans Wow. I agree.
Chelsea will be our main challengers us for the title.
A team is built in the image of its manager.
Conte is a better tactition than Pep.

What did people think of Jese? I only caught the MOTD highlights but he seemed a cut above the average inconsistent flair player - time will tell, but he looks to have good end product.
He was given a lot of space to work with. Arsenal are soo bad at defending as a team.
He was poor. But it's only his first game.
That was good stuff by Kante but I don't think he had a very good game. Demebele was the stand out in midfield easily IMO.Kante is a machine
Really good win for Chelsea. They played well considering their main man is out. Do feel they could suffer from Morata adjusting to the league. As things stand Costa is the much better player.
Nah I don't either he hasn't had a great start to the season, was fairly poor against Burnley. Will be interested to see how he deals with his first season playing in Europe alongside the domestic fixtures, fatigue could take a bit of a toll on his style. Dembele was quality, but his lack of end product frustrates me, still in an incredibly well rounded midfielder
All this talk about title race and league titles after 2 games....
Its what people expect so why not to talk about it?
As for the game Batshuayi must be relieved today.
Talking about it is one thing but saying this or that will/won't be in the race is premature.Its what people expect so why not to talk about it?

Not expecting much tonight to be honest. We haven't got any pace to counter attack and relieve the pressure on our defence.
Interesting to see City vs. Everton today. Koeman is gonna try to park 5 buses against Guardiola.

So what do we think is going to happen?
Any point watching?
I can't see Rooney stretching their defense and taking advantage of their high line.

I follow some Everton fans on Twitter, all of whom are positively giddy at the transfer business you've done this summer. Now it may just be my ignorance, but I don't look at your incomings and think they're of the calibre that will lift you above 7th place, which would be poor considering the outlay, but it's tough given the quality above you. Genuinely not trying to be incendiary in my analysis. How do you see your squad shaping up this season and what represents success?
Koeman leads Pep on head to head and has achieved success through pragmatism. Expect a similar approach tonight, but not sure Everton carry enough of a pacy threat on the break.
Think Everton will get battered tonight.
City were pretty underwhelming against Brighton, unnecessary use of three centre backs and not a lot of invention up front with Jesus and Aguero occupying similar areas. If Pep changes things up and drops a centre back for Sane or Sterling, I can see Everton getting hammered, but they should still have enough to easily see off this Everton side with the same team from last week.
Keane and Pickford look to be brilliant signings and we will get years of great service out of them two.
Sandro looks like he could be a bargain once he settles and Rooney is great to have around the squad.
Klaassen i am unsure about and looks to be overkill in the attacking mid role now with Sigurdsson signing. I wish a winger would of been signed instead.
We seriously need to sign a proven striker though and a winger especially if Ross is going to leave.
Edit.
I think 7 and hopefully a good cup would represent a good season. Even if you spend the money to replace them, losing your 2 best attackers in Rom and Ross is going to be hard on us, added to the coleman injury.
Gutted we didn't get Keane. He has looked great in the two Everton games I have seen. Klasson looks 24 carrot pony though.
#EFC: Pickford, Jagielka, Williams, Keane, Holgate, Gueye, Schneiderlin, Davies, Baines, Calvert-Lewin, Rooney.

Jesus that Everton lineup looks so underwhelming, there's not a single quality attacker in there. Where is Sandro Ramirez?
#EFC: Pickford, Jagielka, Williams, Keane, Holgate, Gueye, Schneiderlin, Davies, Baines, Calvert-Lewin, Rooney.
There's a problem with that line up, Sane is starting and Danilo is on the bench.
He's out with an heel injury. Should be back for the next game.

That city line up is frightening.
City twitter has Danilo instead of Sane.
It's the first time Guardiola uses the same line-up for 2 games in a row. Koeman going with a defensive approach, instead.
Edit: Sanè on for Danilo.
Well it would be, except the late change of Sane for Danilo means he hasn't!
I can't see how Everton will succeed in scoring any goals with this team.
Predict 2-0 win for City easily.

Idiots
Rooney hat trick incoming.
Maybe Rooney has suddenly been turned into a good player with pace to run at people? Have hard to see it given how poor he has been for us last few seasons and that he has lost most of his pace. What he can do is score the goals given a chance, but hard to see them getting many in this game. Although he did score against Stoke, but this will be a much tougher test for them.
