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

[Brisan123]

So long as all our players are available as expected, this could be just about the perfect time to play them.

Mané and Thiago will be over their quarantine, but I suspect even so could well not be 100%. Adrian looks worse than Jordan, what was he doing when Watkins almost made it 8?

After Shaqiri there must be doubts about their whole squad how widespread is it really? They certainly played as if all were suffering on Sunday. I don't go along with the stuff that's said about their humiliation and now is the toughest time to meet them, A tough time is after they've won their 99th game on the trot, are flying high and have everyone confident and available, that's when the fear comes in. The pundits write garbage and can have it all ways, after a humiliation it's the toughest time of all - as it also is after yet another great win, they can't lose, its the toughest time any time, but this is easily exactly the perfect time.

Doubt will be in their minds
Before if they went behind they knew they could come back and win
Now they will fear going further behind
They never feared DCL , now with his form they will and James will have them Bricking it

This game has come a couple of weeks too late for me.

If we play out from the back then we play straight into their hands...

If it's on then fair enough otherwise go long straight to Richarlison & DCL over their high line...

If we score first, I fancy us to beat these but we must be careful of their high press espeicially if Mane is playing...

Villa played the long ball time after time & got lots of chances from it, rarely did they play out from the back risking get chased down in dangerous positions...

Yep lash DCL and Richy on Trent and Gomez and bully them physically. Go long and with Allan and Doucouré in there go toe to toe in the middle and let James work his magic, we will definitely create chances it’s all about taking them, got to be clinical

Whys that? Are you busy on the 17th?

 

[Kev50]

it's only just occurred to me that we are at a massive disadvantage going into this game. With all our eggs in the South American basket, our key players are all flying in from the other side of thw world about 24 hours before an early kick off on Saturday.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Let’s see how we are for injuries before any grand predictions. If Davies and Sigurdsson are in the lineup we ain’t winning.

Both Allan and Gomes will be fit. No chance they are playing

Is Allan away with the Brazil team? Or has he stayed here to recover?

they will be pumped up and desperate to atone for Villa. If any of the first choice midfield or front three are missing the backup in any position isn’t great.

Same with Ricky? Anyone know??

Fixed.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Fixed.

im just glad it’s the international break, hopefully throws them off their drug cycles.

Probably not. In 2018, the FA wrote to English clubs asking for permission to test their players for excercise induced asthma (and to confirm if they were already being treated for EIA). This is more rife in sport than people know and it is staggering that there isn't more coverage of what is blatant cheating.

 

[Death]

We’ve picked up maximum points quarter final of the league cup sometimes playing half with strength teams. If we lose this we lose this but we will have a full strength team hopefully and if we don’t atleast give them a hell of a game. If we muster up an abysmal performance we will never ever ever shake that derby inferiority complex.

Please get at them blues.
