When was this and did they find out who the sniper was?

no offense mate but you said earlier when DaveK was worried about injuries not too worry then Oviedo broke his leg and jags pulled his hamstring, enough of the positivity man

Can't help it, you need full belief that you're going to win. That goes for everyone from the manager to the players to the fans.

Obviously Liverpool are favourites here, but I wouldn't write us off.

I've thought that all along. He was injured 6 weeks ago!

He'll be hungry for this one.

Can't wait for Tuesday!

team will be

howard

coleman jags distin baines

barry macarthy

mirallas barkley pienaar

lukaku

Furey1878 · January 25, 2014

Also, we've still the CM master duo of Barry and McCarthy. Lukaku seems to love scoring against this lot, Mirallas also seems the type to relish derbies.

Things are different this year, boys.

Never lose the faith, Dave.

We'll actually be going there for a win for once. Even with injuries,I'd say the teams are still fairly well matched, albeit slightly in Liverpool's favour.

We will. But you need the firepower to win these matches. I just dont see where we get the energy levels and drive without the likes of Coleman and Barkley and now Oviedo. That;s some attacking talent there we look like being without.

We have to accept that they have been given a huge leg up for this Derby and I fully expect them to take it.

We need Lukaku to step up to the plate for this one. We cut him some leeway because he was looking a bit jaded, but this will be only his second start in 17 days. Not arsed if he scores or gets an assist, but I expect him to work his arse off and give their defenders a real handful.

technojoe · January 25, 2014

If lukaku shows up we're in business! If Barkley starts I'm windmilling!

Brownie · January 25, 2014

We need one of Pienaar or Barkley back at least. Hopefully Barry will have a good game. They're the main factors for me.

TheFinnFan · January 25, 2014

Ross will be fine for the derby

tadpole · January 25, 2014

Barkley's a huge loss. But it's time we reconciled ourselves to the fact that in all probability he's not going to play any part on Tuesday. This is Martinez's Everton. They're a team. They believe in one another. Let's not write off our chances too quickly. Just as there were today, I think there could be one or two unlikely heroes on Tuesday.

Echo are saying that Jagielka IS a doubt now. Beyond typical.

Mirallas winner and has a top underneath saying 'Get Well Soon Bryan' in Spanish.
Would be hilarious considering the RS hate him

Some of you will know that I'm not always Positive but this is the only time I am. We will have a strong team out vs Liverpools average back 4. I'm just scared of them of Suarez, Sturridge and Gerrard.

Like Goat said, I'm made up Coutinho is playing

The Equaliser · January 25, 2014

Reckon Coleman will be back. And after today Naismith should start behind Lukaku if Barkley isn't fit as he probably won't be.

Howard
Coleman Jags Distin Baines
McCarthy Barry
McGeady Naismith Mirallas
Lukaku

If we attack them we will win because their defence is sh1te.
