Match Thread Everton v Liverpool (Monday 16 March 20:00)

[Nymzee]

Remember in the semi at Wembley their keeper was out and they played their 3rd choice i believe.

We didn't even test him with long shots, crosses, try to physically intimidate him.

I expect similar or for the replacement to put in a Hollywood performance for the ages.

I remember we took a couple of Polish lads who worked with my Dad with us to the Andy Johnson derby. We were all in th e Gwladys and i remember them both being so happy at the end saying they were Evertonians.

I wish to apologise to those two Polish lads and the Polish nation for my actions which i now recognise as being a crime against humanity.

Adrian was in last time we played and he did well. Means nothing.

Season ticket went on Stubhub 2 weeks ago.

No way I can be there for this, listening to them horrible red mutants rubbing our noses in it. It really is the stuff of nightmares.

Yes that was my point.

Although i haven't checked if i actually bothered to make it during my post.

I was more agreeing with your post to the other guy.

Wonder if Mosh has still got Lukaku’s ma’s number?

Not watching this at all after the last time, not even from behind the sofa.

I’d actually rather they had Alisson than Adrian, at least he might bugger up a Cruyff turn. Adrian puts in an absolutely worldy performance against us no matter who he’s playing for and he’s just as likely to score the winner as he is to pull off one of his usual septuple saves in the six yard box

 

[Carlito]

I'd been thinking for a few weeks that these players were on for a hiding, so I'm glad that they got it out of the way at Chelsea. Maybe there'll be some kind of reaction now, although after the last two derbies, my expectations are lower than ever.

I hope the team is something like this:

Pickford
Coleman Keane Mina Digne
Walcott Gomes Holgate Bernard
Richarlison Calvert-Lewin
​

Maybe Iwobi on the left, since Alexander-Arnold is a bit suspect when someone commits him at pace, although there's more chance of Digne being brought into the game as an attacking force if Bernard plays.

they can't win the league at goodison now

wooooooooooooooo

 

[RomanReigns]

liverpool must beat everton and burnley must beat man city for liverpool to win the title

to put it into perspective the last time burnley beat man city away from home was in 1963

 

[Dubai Blue]

they can't win the league at goodison now

wooooooooooooooo

Still possible but Guard or Honour now impossible

 

[Walken]

Don't pick keane, don't pick davies, dont play 442

Yes they can. If Burnley beat City and Liverpool beat us.

Imagine our players going into the game knowing they needed to avoid defeat to not have the fans ensure the humiliation to watching Liverpool clinch the title at our home. They'd crumble to pieces under the pressure and we'd lose about 4:0.

Literally no excuses to ever play either of them. Problem is there are loads of players the fans cannot stand seeing any more, yet one or two are always going to slip into the starting XI, namely Sigurdsson and Schneiderlin before he got injured, or Walcott, or lately Sidibe who nobody can stomach watching any more.

We have more players we cannot stand than those we enjoy playing for us. It's fully understandable too, but never should be like that.

Can't see Burnley getting any points at City, but serious question, 'cos I can't remember: Has any club been presented with the league trophy immediately
after winning it in an away match?
