Match Day Thread Everton V Liverpool Premier League

We'll make it a battle mate. Night game under the lights, crowd fired up after Tuesday. Players knowing that they'll have to get in your faces from the off.

That card happy, clueless, bell end Mike Dean as ref to boot.

It'll be tasty I reckon, odds on 22 still on the pitch at the final whistle - long, very long.....

 

Merseyside derby, the best derby in England, blue and red sitting together, no one to molest. Far better than Manchester derby
and cannot be compared with any derby in London

 

Not so much these days. It's virtually a thing of the past that. Some reds will maybe have bought the odd restricted view general sale tickets or a pass seat for sale on Stubhub, but we've sold out every game this season.

Not being funny but if I had a Kopite sat next to me on Monday and he was giving it large, there'd be **** all friendly about this derby mate

 

the players showed finally they could man it up and mix it with arsenal so i would expect they will do that x5 v liverpool

thankfully we picked the ref to ensure you get two sent off

You'll have to start off better than you did against L' Arse or you'll be 3-0 down after half an hour.

Still no guarantee we can close it out though.

 

Who's likely to replace Jags Tobes? Funes? Holgate?

 

Arsenal didn't force a save in that opening period, and barring that spawny deflected free kick, would have nothing to show for their possession, as we marshalled them well.

That's not to say I want us to drop off like that though. No, get right in your grids and see who's up for a proper derby battle is the way to go.

 

Funes Mori - who's an accident waiting to happen.

Even money he doesn't last the 90

 

They will then be thinking of doing Bournemouth.

 

Could be an interesting battle between him and Divock.

 

Lukaku vs Origi (Two international team mates).We are going to keep Lukaku quiet.

 

Nice #jinx Dribs

 

I'd bet that mane and origi will be flopping like a carp in the bottom of a boat every time he comes near

 

The 'pick pocket' Gueye will be key for us. The lad pops up from nowhere like Mr Majeika

 

must be cos it can't be actually a statement cos he'll tear us up.

 

yup. watching last night he's got to pick on mane, lallana and firmino... but on on our right side midfield. let them roam elsewhere. thats where they all performed best

Its a funny game this one, I'm really looking forward to it but also dreading it..
Everton at home have been hard to beat, esp. against the better teams.
Its a Derby so, like Tobes said, they'd be 5x more intense against us than they were against Arsenal in the second half.
Form goes out of the window, both have suspect defences, esp. if Fuming Morris plays for Everton and if we can't get Matip back fit!
Can see goals in this, loads, wouldn't bet against a 2-2 draw, which doesn't really suit anyone..
Who's gonna win, would obviously like us to do so, but who the flock knows.
One slight advantage for us, Everton being at home, it being a derby, they won't be allowed to park the bus or sit off us like they did against Arsenal in the first half, which should mean gaps for us to exploit.

 

Very rarely does the big man have a poor game against us, esp. at home..
Expect him to be in top form for this game!
