Match Thread Everton 0-0 Liverpool - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Mosh Pit]

So much pessimism in here it's unbelievable.

Goodison park needs a self-help library, ASAP

Here's a good one for you boys:

Next season if you could pick one of the following what would it be:

1. We finish 8th, lose both derby games a good 3-4 goals to the good but we win the League Cup

Or

2. We win both derby matches with the last one being the final game of the season at Anfield in which a 90th minute winner on the counter seals us a top 4 finish at the expense of the Kopites

What would you prefer boys?

2 is very tempting but I would have to go with option 1 - would love to see us win a trophy.

Toughy that one, if it was the FA Cup I’d defo say 1. 2 has more signs of longer term success though so I may be edging towards that which is utterly mental given I dream of us winning a trophy more than a man in his late 20s should...

Has there been anything on a friendly?

I'm seeing more and more but have I missed us organising one?

Haha its very difficult- im around the same age as you mate so dont remember 95 that well so a cup win for me would mean everything.

A 90th minute winner at the pit to take their CL spot would be ace though

We had an inter squad one at Goodison yesterday, we were trying to get a game with Leeds but things broke down at their end so they ended up doing likewise. I think we tried to play Stoke as well before their manager tested positive

Is it any wonder with our record and who we have out? Then you look at them romping away with the league winning a CL.

 

[MACCA75]

I’ll be happy when we have 3 more points. Have a horrible feeling that is going to be quite a while

 

[billyblue80]

Iwobi played on the right in the training game apparently.

Anybody who would prefer top 4 to silverware needs to see a specialist!

Jesus him and Sidibe were utter dirge together against Arsenal.

We are going to get bummed - the summer window cant come quick enough.

You can't let the past rule over the future.
Remain optimistic. Belief is a massive part of change / success.

If the fans don't believe, it manifests in the stadium with a tonne of anxiety / pressure which rubs off onto the players.

We all have a part to play in Everton's success. Our part is to get behind the team and be optimistic.

Don’t think Coleman is in this?

If this clip is anything to go by I’m guessing it’ll be:

Pickford
Sidibe Holgate Keane Digne
Iwobi Sigurdsson Davies Bernard
Richarlison DCL

 

[The Trinity.]

Just let's beat them.
Give the reins to Big Dunc. His passion. His vision. His leadership. Might just give our players the lift to win this match.

You see i just don't trust Don Carlos judgement (not just yet).
I was shocked at his inadequate leadership in the hapless defeat to the Liverpool youngsters. And let's not forget his /our defeat to Chelsea in our last match.

So anyhow, let's beat Liverpool. Or at the very least , not get beat ourselves.
Then beat Norwich City (I think they are next up for us).
Get points on board early doors. Then relax.
Then play out the season with youngsters and fringe players.
Get our first string ready fit and fighting for the start of next season (in whatever form that might take).

But I admit that I am worried. We are flaky old Everton after all.
So let's just hope that we come back fighting. Win a few football matches.
And get to Premier League safety as quick as possible.
Let's stay safe. In all possible ways. COYBs....

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Get Richarlison out wide and let Big Simms go up top with DCL - crazy but might just work...

 

[Jeff Jones]

I'm really not sure I can take too many more derby defeats, it's becoming soul destroying.

This fixture is usually a draw.
