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

[Tipp blue]

Be very normal for players to be picking up injuries after returning from such a long break... Team selections should be bizarre the first few weeks too as players are rotated while they reach proper match fitness....fantasy football will be a nightmare.....

But just watch Liverpool be full strength for every game until they win the league..


Personally once we get the Derby out of the way, I'd like Ancelotti to properly treat these league games as preseason... Use the entire squad, and prepare us for next season with as few injuries as possible..

I agree but we still need a few more points on the board before experimenting.

Back on the forum after a bit
Has everyone forgot we can still get into Europe and the season isn’t over. We don’t have a bad run in at all. Get through this and I don’t fear any game we have to play. I’d like to get to the wolves game knowing if we beat them we get into Europe

JFC these injuries are ridiculous.

Pickford
Coleman-Keane-Holgate-Digne
Sidibe-Davies-Siggy-Bernard
Richy-DCL

Hit everything over the top or down the wings, bypass that horrid MF.

defo whats going to happen to us sadly our CMs are gash and Keane will get burned.Wish big Yerry was healthy. Walcott/Delph is meh to me. I'm sure Kean/Iwobi/Gordon could all sprint down the right hand side and do nothing in the final 3rd just as well as Theo

Baffling how much money we have spent in recent years to have such garbage players to pick from.

Utter joke isnt it. We had a great chance to move forward as a club with that money and we have wasted that opportunity.

The worry is we are running out of crap to sell aswell - Keane, Kean & Iwobi aside - its only 50/50 that we could fetch money for the likes of Schneiderlin, Kenny & Davies and for the likes of Bolasie & Siggurdsson I doubt we could even give them away!

FFP wise we simply have to nail our signings this summer otherwise you are looking at an inevitable Richarlison sale to give us the money / flexibility to splash out the season after when we need to be building a team around the lad.

If we are actually signing anyone. Dont seem to be linked to anyone as yet and not sure how much money is available after the deferred wages agreement. God that has just depressed me even more than the thought of this game.

5 at the back and long ball it.

Hopefully the deferred arrangement is to get around FFP - I saw an article say it would save us around £5-10 million - maybe that will offset what we'll lose in the accounts this year due to the pandemic?

Just thinking out loud - I certainly dont believe we are skint and think more is at play here...

 

[Billy Dean]

Might as well stick Baningime and Adeniran in midfield

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

Little snippets of the tactical stuff from Davide Ancelotti after about 6 minutes in this is cool, he's clearly got a plan to beat to their press.

 

[Furey1878]

Apparently they played Blackburn in a friendly today, we got any lined up?

 

[Liamliverpool86]

gonna be that many lambs to the slaughter be getting asked for bottles of canti

 

[dannyboy]

Just checked the betting and we are kin 9/2 to win - awful price considering our mounting injuries and our awful derby record.

Steering clear of that was expecting atleast 6/1

Didn't they have us down as favourites in January? Haha there was a fortune to be made there if you're that way inclined.

Without a crowd there I can't see us doing anything. You just know our players will look knackered after 10 minutes.
