Match Thread Everton v Liverpool, Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[N.S.N.O.]

Probably the biggest derby since the FA Cup Semi this.

Please, please just turn up and put a shift in, Everton!!

No probably about it, this is massive... Need Goodison to be absolutely rocking, and fully BEHIND the team for 90+ mins...

its the only thing they have left to play for... none of the new boys have really experienced a proper Goodison match yet, it will have to motivate them to raise their game....

 

[Spocks-a-Blue]

Half the battle is attitude.
And that wee fella has it in spades

I just wish the size of his attitude could somehow be made manifest in the right stud length! I’ve got a lot of time for the wee lad but, man does he spend a lot of time slipping.

2-0 for the pool.
i think that will give them the kick up the arse they needed, so i would now expect them to kick on come sunny and control the game comfortably against the toffees.
0-3 is my prediction

 

[stevieob]

sorry, meant that they were 2-0 up tonight

........the pool.......

I know I already made a line up but who will our 3 mids be is really a hard choice for me. Sigurdsson has to start cause of form no? but seems the worst fit for Silva’s tactics, Gomes is our highest quality, Gana is our most reliable, Davies gives the most energy and had 3 great games prior, and Schniederlin now put a claim in for being our best #6.

We could go with a diamond center but that leaves Bernard and look man out.

Think it’ll all come down to who preps the best

 

[CRIMHEAD]

Would've been nice for Watford to at least beat up on them physically a bit.

 

[Coggy]

By the law of averages we must win a game against them shortly.
Don't want to be a doom mongerer but just cannot see us doing them.
We need a high tempo pressing performance , but haven't seen one for a couple of months.
Here's hoping !!

 

[Lelouch]

Goals been drying up.
Derby coming up.
Knocks 5 past Watford.
Derby is next.

Siggy just played perhaps his best game WITH Silva's tactics. Who else would play in that deeper position in front of the two DM/CMs? This idea that he can't play in Silva's tactics is silly.

 

[Azza]

This bodes well.


Good job we put in such a stellar performance against Cardiff.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Must admit I already didn't fancy our chances before tonight... but now

 

[Eggs]

.....they score more than anybody else from set pieces, we concede more than anybody else from set pieces. Set pieces are a concern.

 

[MikeH72]

Great that if they’d lost tonight everyone would be doom mongering about the backlash we were going to suffer.

 

[Blue Juice]

I just ask Everton, ONE TIME, please don't let me down.
No stupid red cards, no keeper lobotomies, no bottlejobs. Just literally ONCE.

Totally ready to be hurt again
