Ancelotti expects Gomes to be fit to face reds

A derby match I can't get excited about. Although it would be nice to beat them, I'd sooner beat them the first time we play them next season at Anfield, whenever that maybe be!

Just highlights where we are and what a massive job Ancelotti's got on his hands. There's a similar issue with the centre-half pairing. We need a dominant centre-midfielder and centre-half desperately.

I hope Carlo disagrees with Lyndon's report on his options in midfield as any combination of Davies, Gomes and Sigurdsson in a 2 or a 3 would really struggle with their tempo. I would hope the likes of Iwobi and Sidibé are being considered in a 3 as we won't have the option of playing Mason Holgate in there due to Yerry Mina's absence.

Like Kenny #4 said, Carlos's rebuilding job will be massive. I'm just hoping he can get Thiago Silva and Allan in to give us some spine and leadership.

Every blue, in every nook and cranny on planet earth knows we need a central midfield. Gomes would be a component of that and would likely flourish too with the right balance in there.

We need two central midfielders now Gbamin’s out and Schneiderlin is moving on. Two quality CM players in will see us step up a gear and get closer to the top 6 and who knows into it. Getting these two players in is Carlo’s and Marcel Brand’s biggest test so far and a critical factor in our progress up the league.

Got an unfunny feeling they will lose to the Gunners.

City aren't bothered were they finish in Prem as they are banned from Europe anyhow. Though more importantly they will have their eyes on the Champions League Grand Tournament in Portugal in August.

Besides, the great wonga god Sky decrees it.

Everton are complete mugs they really are and the FA and the rs know it.

The appointment of Dean and Kavanagh is possibly the biggest piss take yet. Quite remarkable what Everton are prepared to put up with.

The original corrupt ref not wanting to come into a virus rife area sums up the whole situation.

I hope Everton enjoy their cash windfall because everything else is going to be another embarrassing disaster.

If Arsenal win tonight, then I'm convinced we are cursed again them and we will never, ever be able to match them on or off the field. I honestly see Arsenal winning tonight, just a horrible feeling.

Bitter? You bet.

The players would undoubtedly understand the consequences for us and they would have to go to the bottom of the well to prevent it from happening. I on one hand would love to know who is up for the fight going forward and who really cares about us but on the other hand I suppose it may be a very painful lesson to find out.

Could you imagine what it would feel like sending them fuckers packing with their tails between their legs?

If nothing else, they will not be able to celebrate the title, if it happens on,the Goodison Park pitch.

Anyway let’s just hope City win or draw tonight, so that we do not hear all the shite pre match of it being a title winning chance Sunday, they will win the title sooner than later, hopefully it will not be this Sunday.

I'd rather go into Sunday's game with no possibility that they can win it at the old lady.

I hope City put that to bed early doors tonight. Then we can concentrate solely on beating the fuckers rather than have sleepless nights before hand

So fuck them, and fuck the Premier League, and fuck Sky. I hope our boys can kick them off the park in a gritty nil nil, but I personally won't be watching.

I hope we don't get turned over.and all clubs have been out of it for a long, long time.

The twists of fate in our encounters with old Nick must be won soon.

Hopefully the players will be motivated, believe in themselves and get into the RS.

Watford took them the cleaners, hopefully Carlo will exploit them.

Hope eternal, stay safe All.

Carlo now knows just what a shit job he has taken on. He will walk away knowing it's an impossible task to put us back where we belong...

Kenwright Out!

Let's hope there's no such techno screw ups on Sunday.

Just seen the news and all stay safe. Family all over the World and Jay thoughts, hopes and prayers for all in Brazil.
