Match Thread Everton V Liverpool 19th December 2016

...I wouldn't be surprised if we see Lukaku virtually sitting on Milner. We did it against United when a weakness was recognised, I think we could see plenty of that tonight.

need Lukaku to put a shift in tonight mate. If I was him if be looking at those players you've mentioned and be thinking about grabbing a couple of goals tonight

If he has faith that the players closest to him will press, he will, in this case Lennon and Valencia are those two, which is better than any of Barkley, Mirallas and certainly Deulofeu.

He's actually looked good this season, probably because he's done absolutely no defending.

Hopefully we can isolate Barkley/Lukaku against him, plenty to expose.

Just took my seat in the upper bullens, I'm more excited than a grown man should be ......first ever derby ..... COYB

...he's a good pro but eventually you have to think he'll come unstuck playing in that position. Let's hope it's tonight.

Enjoy mate. The time between the players finishing their warm up and and z-cars is there to be soaked up.

yep I thought Howe seen how weak he was at full back against Bournemouth 2nd half and targeted him for a good 30 minutes. In fact they targeted all of that particular back line 2nd half!

Probably shouldn't be browsing GOT really

Bricking it now, just don't know which Everton is going to turn up. If they can't get fired up for this game, there is no hope for them. COYB!

 

[TheFinnFan]

totally mad but i throwed tenner for 4-1 efc win

 

[paulbefc]

This could be an absolute classic. Neither defence is all that and both sides have goals in them.

Having two up top is important. Lukaku, Valencia and Lennon needn't stay in a position for long and will move around so it's unlikely Liverpool are well-prepared for us.

Bottle. Gone.

 

[maccavennie]

a hatrick of 30 yard Ross Barkley specials would be nice.

along with 2 for Valencia

and 1 for Rom

6-0 please
