Match Thread Everton 2-2 Liverpool. Wednesday February 12th . 7.30 pm

[God Benfrey]

I don't particularly rate myko but god I hope he's fit for this, cannot play young down that left again, completely kills our width and can't go down that side which is the side we should be targeting as Salah doesn't track as much and Trent is still suspect

Everton on the up and up, time to beat the RS, rise above Manure, Spuds and Wet Spam !

Follow it up with another 3 points at Selhurst Park on Saturday and watch two of the Sly Six squirm, then try to engineer points deductions for Leicester to try and save their necks.

 

[maccavennie]

Free hit this.

Go for it, treat it like a cup game.

We MUST engage the crowd early, we've seen in recent weeks how that helps this team.

No fear, no respect, just get stuck right into them.

Score first and we get something from the game, if they get the first then they win comfortably.

We tried that on Saturday and it went tit's up

 

[YoboCopter]

Im literally praying but my head is gone already, hate derbys with a passion

 

[T Bone]

People saying the record at Goodison doesn't matter. Or it been the last game at Goodison not mattering are lying to themselves out of cope from fear.

Dont wanna set themselves up for heartache. Already defeated mentally

I pray the players don't feel the same. Or the Goodison faithful.

I know the later won't let us down in that regard.

Exactly. Last night game ever at Goodison,last derby game ever in Walton and a chance to leapfrog West Ham,Spurs and Utd in to 13th place.
This game is as massive as it gets. Huge.

Pickford
O'Brien Tarkowski Branthwaite Myko
Gana Garner
Lindstrom Alcaraz NDiaye
Beto

Could make a case for Iroegbunam for Alcaraz maybe, hope Mykolenkos fit, can't deal with 90minutes of Salah vs Young​

 

[Bluewater]

Even though, Saturday's result and first half performance were poor in the second half playing with aggression and speed sets us up nicely for the Derby. With Iroegbunam coming back from injury and Alcaraz debut our squad is looking stronger. We got overrun in midfield on Saturday hope Moyes plays three in the middle to counter their three. A win, obviously, wouldn't go amiss.

 

[blackie_jones75]

Last Derby at goodison. Could claim the record of wins. A stat that can never change. Under the lights.

Not expecting a result. But I am expecting them to give everything they have and fight like it means everything.

If they bend over. Ill never forgive it.

Is this true is it ? whoever wins will have won the most Goodison derbys? Christ , never hear the end of that

 

[jtl60]

Hoping Myko is fit, if so I fully expect to see him and the other 10 players who started v Bournemouth.
I'd take Doucs out myself and put Tim or Alcaraz in, doubt Moyes will do it though

 

[Moderatelywarmwater]

They’ve got much too cocky for their own good, Sunday showed that and so will Wednesday. Expect us to bully them and for them to create nothing. Soft pen for us would then be perfect.
I expect a hangover on Thursday

Like it or not. Indeed its true. You'll be hearing about it 50 years from now.

We lose an FA cup final to them and ye you'll never hear the end of it. But that's a sound bite you'll always get for eternity when recalling the days of goodison.

People will call me hyperbolic. Just a silly stat. No. We have a chance to be able to atleast stopping them from saying they dominated us at the old lady.

Forget the last game at Goodison. This is the most important one.

Players better fk'n show up.

Same could go for them though. Getting beat on Sunday will no doubt get a reaction. I could see this one ending in a draw and honestly I'd take that. I think it might be a shocking 2-2. with all the goals coming in the first half. Lets hope Mykolenko is fit.

I think Moist will go with:
Pickford
O'Brien - Tarkowski - Branthwaite - Mykolenko
Harrison - Gana - Garner - N'Diaye
Doucoure
Beto

Subs to come on: Iroegbunam, Alcaraz, Lindstrom, Young

We will need to refresh the midfield after they run around for the first hour.

Is this happening on Wednesday night, brilliant if it is!
