Derby Fixture Change

sat 12.30

Watch us injure half the City side and beat them yet we’ll lose to the RS second string.

 

[PITA]

I'm seriously thinking of flogging my seat on Stubhub and missing my first Goodison derby in nearly 25 years.

With the current cowards plying their trade in a Blue shirt, I can't see anything other than a heavy defeat for us and like many sick and tired of having my nose rubbed in it by that shower and them coming to our patch and taking the urine season in season out.

This post doesn’t make much sense. Our home form has been good. They are in the middle of the Citeh games. We did reasonably well in the two pit derbies.

Klopp moaning about the game been moved back to the saturday lol,

We really do need to snap some hamstrings.

We’ll be playing against rezzies. No chance Teeth risks losing players in the derby and increases his chances of getting knocked out by City.
City will play rezzies against utd as it’s a nothing game to them. League’s won and CL is worth well more than bragging rights.

So why was it listed as on the 8th? We knew they were in that draw, soon as they got through the last round why wasnt the listing changed to the 7th? makes no sense

There are no excuses we should absolutely tear into them from the first whistle

He even rested his best players (arrogantly) in the Anfield derby so yeah I can’t see him risking them. Would be brave to go without any of the front three because their reserves are so poor.

Losing to their ressies is going to be even worse than to their 1st team.

If the fools lose to us and Chelsea then their 4th spot trophy is in danger
I don’t think Klopp can afford to lose the 4th place trophy as it sits nicely beside the we beat Man City and we were above united for a day trophy
I think he will play a full strength side

If they were playing City on the Weds the game may have been left on the Sun , however with the City game on the tues it gives them a 72+ hr break.
I’d have preferred our game on the mon night and the City game on the tues

Because it was unclear whether they’d play their first leg on Wednesday on second on Tuesday or vice versa. So if their first leg had been Tuesday 3rd and their second Wednesday 11th then the derby (and the Manc derby) would have both been on the Sunday, which sky would have preferred for their viewing figures anyway.
