Match Thread Liverpool V Everton 20th September 12:30

[Marcus Kendall]

Why is this game always an early kick off and always on TNT?

Probably because they expect crowd trouble if the fans have been on the sauce for an afternoon or evening kick off

 

[maccavennie]

Wouldn't surprise if Slott throws in a little dig about this at his presser. Just to put pressure on the ref

Was thinking the same mate.

I think Mr. Pen was referring to Beto’s two games v Liverpool last season, he scored at Goodison and worried Van Djke throughout the game, did the same in the first half at Anfield where he lost one goal to Liverpool’s 12th. man VAR and was unlucky with another effort and had Van Djke worried again until the second half when Moyes went for the draw and hardly attacked in that second period.

Fingers crossed. That game is a while ago. So far he's bagged against Mansfield this season in four outings.

Albeit Virgil van Dyke doesn't play for Mansfield.

Was thinking the same mate.

Will definitely happen

 

[leslad]

would rather this match was in about 5 months time instead.

or not at all

One day, there will be a match where everything clicks for us. the precision of the passes and shots, the bounce of the ball and refereeing decisions.

Will it ever be at Analfield? I doubt it but it's a funny old game as they say.

4-1 to the mighty blues.

Won there 4-0 in the mid sixties with a weakened team

Pickford
O'Brien, Tarks, Keane, Garner
Rohle, Gana
Dibling, Dewsbury Hall, Grealish
Ndaiye

Moyes is going to surprise us all. Van Dick will be all pumped for a wrestle with Beto and instead will have them running rings around him, playing like we're contenders for the Prem title. I'd be happy to gamble with Dibling and Rohle in this one and have someone in front of goal who is brilliant at finishing. Still plenty of height for set pieces.

Like most of the crowd aren’t absolutely wired to the gills anyway

 

[gedefc]

Beto has actually caused some problems in recent derbies, I'd leave him in for this

Pickford

OBrien
Tarkowski
Keane
Mykolenko

Gana
Garner

Ndiaye
KDH
Grealish

Beto

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

They've looked quite rubbish this season but have won every game. Robertson and Kerkez at LB is a target for Ndiaye, we should be trying to get down that channel as much as possible or at least indicate we are which will hopefully then leave space for Grealish on the other. We can definitely get at them and I hope we dont poo our pants like we usually do at Anfield.

Yes they will be looking to kick Grealish off the park so our focus should be on releasing N'Diaye on the right instead. We might break the number of free kicks in one game record this weekend.

 

[Bryan+]

Kerkez is the weak link 100%

 

[carolinablue232]

Could be worse I suppose. Who’s on Var?

 

[Cameron Manning]

Fingers crossed. That game is a while ago. So far he's bagged against Mansfield this season in four outings.

Albeit Virgil van Dyke doesn't play for Mansfield.

I don’t think van Djke plays for Wolves either!

 

[anton66]

I’m sure they’ll make us partake in some ceremony before kickoff as well we all know it’s all about them.

Could be worse I suppose. Who’s on Var?
