Match Thread Everton V Liverpool 19th December 2016

Bit of an odd side that old boy / old girl?

I was thinking along the lines of del and barkley feeding lukaku through the middle and guaye and barkley could add a bit of pace in midfield to nullify them. Just don't want to see us ripped apart in the first 20 minutes.

Weetabix legs always scores against us, shudder.

Robles

Coleman Williams Mori Baines

Gueye McCarthy

Lennon Barkley Mirallas

Lukaku

Will Gueye and McCarthy need any more help?

Lennon can provide cover, but Mirallas can be a liability when tackling.

I'll trust him to do his work at their end.

 

[Wat Tyler]

One year they might let us pick the ref for a change.

Their choice of Mike Dean was inspired in fairness.

Nothing biased about a ref singing a particular club's anthem at all...

I feel depressed and we've not even kicked off yet.

"It's the hope that kills you"

I have been to too many of these thing to know the script is allready set.

I'm going with a 0-4 thumping attitude, anything above that will be a bonus.

imagine if this game ends up like our home game against west ham last year...

a gurning henderson to get the winner, obviously

Fils de salaud.

I'm on the train up from London and I feel ill. Can't shake the feeling that the soft version of our team is going to turn up and embarrass us.

All I want is to see fighting spirit worthy of Everton.

somebody up there has obv thought
'You know what, this game just doesn't have enough needle. A bit of spice. How about a bit of Rudi Voeller phlegm flecked perm to throw into the mix. Yes, that's bubbling nicely now'
If we thought Koeman was pleased last week, wait for his reaction when we score a last minute winner against our friendly German

If we can beat Arsenal, we can beat these nobheads.

Great preview mate

 

[Ashtonian]

to be honest i would rather us just go for it tonight. Geuinely, we get beat by them more often than not, and more so get embarassed. so makes no odds if they do it again.

But just for that one game where we actually batter them, balls to the game next week, just one one game where we leave it out there on the pitch and more than just beat them.

Great preview mate

Cheers mate. I'd been researching for a few weeks prior as I wanted to get my facts correct. A big chunk of my thoughts and theories on this preview, did however rely on us beating Arsenal, but as you can see, when me did my prior research and the Arsenal result came together and I for one am really made up with the final product.
