Never ever enjoyed the derby, even when I was young - too young to understand the rivalry. I think most scouse families are more or less split down the middle, me dad was a blue his mum a blue, my mum a red and one brother out of a few a red, 60/40 split in ours.

I grew about 1 mile from Goodison Park and got up going to Goodison to see us grind out a winner every now and then, nothing spectacular, we could always just then enjoy the week at school wearing your scarf, hat or badge. Todays footy is more about social media grabs, one liners, crap pundits and quickly forgotten attempts to make the others look bad, we are about to leave our old lady behind and play our final derby against a team we donated our first stadium to - it’s ironic they are likely going to win the league in a season in which we can dent their history by leaving our name on Goodison as the team with the most derby wins there.

if you know yer history, never meant so much today. I still hate the derby, I never ever watch it - the pathetic bias from pundits, the inevitable dreadful refereeing. It will be how “magnificent” Liverpool have been, and how “timid little Everton can try their bestest” Learnt it from my dad, I’ll probably walk the dogs and avoid the entire thing.

Big part of our gameplay with be the turnover down the width.

I think we will be crowded out in the middle of the park especially with Mangala out. Garner and Gueye will have to use the ball effectively especially when Doucoure will be used mainly to close down.

Key to our attack will be Doucoure and Beto holding the ball up, they have to look for those cheap fouls and be strong. I hope Beto is on it tonight.

Mykolenko back is helpful because we have balance in the left but I think Lindstrom should come out for Young to help out O'Brien with more defensive play plus he will be key to set-pieces.

My XI - (4-5-1)

Pickford
O'Brien - Tarkowski - Branthwaite - Mykolenko
Young - Gueye - Garner - Doucoure - Ndiaye
Beto

neither of them can do that, we need Beto to get their defence turned around with balls into channels or over the top.

RS mates pretty quiet so far, not one has mentioned this record thing, strange, are they just waiting to unleash hell after the final whistle?

Not sure many care that much really now. They are looking for 3 trophies and we are all but safe from relegation. If we were still in real danger they would be all over it.
 
Feel like we need a DCL type striker to get us anything from tonight. Was huge in the last derby for us. Can only see Liverpool winning tonight but let’s hope for an upset.
