The 223rd Merseyside Derby: 27/09/2014

[keith_78]

stick naismith on gerrard and just follow him like west ham/villa did.

 

[toffee matt]

3 or 4 nil Liverpool

3 dodgy penalties and a own goal

If we play like we have at the back that's possible

 

[meagher94]

Have to stick with Barry and McCarthy in my opinion.

Back 4 absolutely needs to be Coleman, Stones, Jags, Baines though. If Coleman isn't back for this we're done for.

Would go with @bluegirl 's team except for Barry instead of Besic.

 

[royalbalou]

Who would be your starting line-up then?

Mine would be:

Howard
Coleman Stones Jagielka Baines
McCarthy Besic
Mirallas Naismith Pienaar
Lukaku

Oviedo, Eto'o, Kone off the bench.

I understand Besic is a risk so some people will go with Barry which is fair enough.

He's more than a risk in a derby with Atkinson reffing...he's a red card certainty...maybe bring him on for the last 5 to snap a few bones when we're 3 penalties down

 

[deipnosophist]

Full confidence were gonna continue our 2+ goals every game but have no idea if the defence will be up to standard, been p!ss poor lately.

our away defence is much better than our Goodison defence; on average we leak only 1 goal/game away and 3.66 (!!)at home. We score an average 2 goals/game away from home so stats suggest a 2-1 victory to us. But, (and it's a big but), we're playing at Anfield, so all empirical analysis goes out the window and I suspect we'll be on the wrong side of 3-1 (assuming our defence improves)

 

[bluegirl]

Fair shouts here on Besic. Probably is too big of a risk in the Derby especially with Atkinson reffing.

Barry alongside McCarthy.

possibly Pienaar in for Oviedo..


Howard
Coleman Stones Jagielka Baines
McCarthy Barry
Mirallas Naismith Pienaar
Lukaku

Eto'o, Kone and one of Oviedo, McGeady and Besic on off the bench.

 

[blue4eva77]

Imagine a 6 or 7 nil dry bumming by this lot !

I few household objects are in danger to be terminated in T minus 5 days, 23 house and 4 minutes.

That's the team I'd go with..if Pienaar isn't 100% then Mc Geady replacing him..really hope Seamus is fit for this, he makes a huge difference to our defence

I'd imagine in all honestly Coleman is fit for tomorrow but he's not risking it. It was only a bang to the head it shouldn't take 9 days.

I think he'll be fine!!

[Jags..class]

Doesn't matter who we put out, we will still get beat.

Tomorrow night. And I think Coleman will be back for the derby
