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

[Rob17896]

Set Richy an Digne on TAA and have James floating balls over their pub team midfield and we should have it

Of course tonight was a one-off, they have a very good team. Have not seen one as good as us though this season. We should have a full team back. Goals from DCL, Richie, James, Mina, Keane...we have many options. Pickford is our spanner in the works though, lets hope his medication calms him down.

We will have to be at our best, they will be wounded.

I honestly think if Pickford doesn’t make the headlines we win this unless we miss sitters or they get a gift a penalty or something, all very plausible

This is the first derby I can think of in 25 years where I actually go into it genuinely expecting us to win. We have got a great manager and the best team we have had since 95. We really should be beating this mob.

We will have to be at our best, they will be wounded.

Yep. Totally agree. We'll need to be bang on it. The scum will be hurting and their manager will be saying Everton is the ideal match to get them back on track. They'll want to run up a cricket score against us so we need to hit them fast on the break just like the villa tonight. Keep mane quiet and the job is half done. Double team him if necessary.

Btw, have villa become anyone else's second team in the prem after that goal fest tonight?

If we get the first goal, watch their heads drop. First goal in this match is huge.

The break actually helps

If it was a normal schedule, they would come out super fiery. But I doubt they can maintain the anger from their loss after 2 weeks and all having other games with their national teams.

You know what they say... form goes out the window when it comes to a derby. Liverpool will still be the bookies favourite for this one and rightfully so but we definitely have a better chance of matching them than we have for a long time.
If Mane is back for them it'll change their entire approach as he leads the front line by pressing from the front.
I'm a lot less nervous about this derby than I would be usually but I can't bring myself to be confident we'll win it.

But if we do win it.......

Lighten up.

Worst case scenario they draw level with us.

I'm having a good of time as any watching Everton right now. I still understand that Everton haven't beaten the reds in a long damn time and it's going to be a battle after the international break.

 

[Igrok]

Mordor has been shown the great abyss...let’s push them there where they belong...

 

[WA Toffee]

James will be starting off the bench.

Sorry lads he plays in Chille 3 days before he wont be starting.

Yes he will. Very few players miss the first league game back after international breaks unless they get injured. Fatigue is managed very well nowadays

I dont think we are allowed to give him cyanide as part of his preworkout mate.

Interesting to note we have 2 more games this month, and Liverpool have 5 more.
Next month we have 4 and they have 5.
So over the next 2 months 10 for them and 6 for us, that gives us a massive advantage, maybe not so much in the derby, but following that.

I make my evening contribution.. James has only one weak spot and that's what his strength with Everton is all about, his muscular endurance is not that of today's footballers who are equipped to run and sprint all the time. Not, James Rodriguez is a 10 classic only compared with Pele, Maradona or Zidane who always developed their game strategically and retaining the physical energies for decisive moments of the match. Only two experienced technicians like Carlo Ancelotti and Jupp Heynckes they knew how to discern and manage it properly. Forcing James as other technicians did to run like a madman on the pitch, is to take him to injury continuously as happened to him at Bayern's of Niko Kovac or Zidane's Real Madrid. I hope the toffees understand and support it for continue show their brilliant game, that many of our elders today yearn in the golden age of football where creativity and magic was preferred to today's battles where 22 athletes bet to see who runs the most. Enjoy the years left for one of the last of your kind... A real 10 who is convinced that football more than a sport is art and passion.

GOOD SAVE OUR KING JAMES. ..

Let me fix that for ya

We will win.

We will win.

You can say that again.
