Match Thread Everton vs Liverpool, Goodison Park, Oct 4th, 2015

Sorry mate, I just think it's a huge ask for the lad on a day like this. Even if he costs us today I'll be putting the blame with Martinez.

I'll take my chances with him over Evans.

 

[Stutheblue]

Really disappointed that at least one of Stones or Coleman aren't playing. Stones in particular. My optimism has slightly wavered now. Could be goals at both ends here.

 

[riddick]

He should have started Kone today, Naismith brings loads of energy but Lukaku gets to isolated when he plays.

This is my feeling too. Kone seems to bring out the best in Lukaku more than any other player.

Yes I have been observing how long we would wait till he hit the treatment table!
Thank goodness some of the posters on here who thought he would have been a good signing any UNT reject is a crock!

Mason Holgate on the bench. Stones still out?!

Naisy has a couple goals against them doesn't he? I'm OK with it, there will be space today so Rom shouldn't have to do much hold up play.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

do we ever have a full strength side against this lot?

75% of our back line out injured, and their replacements have < 15 PL appearances between them.

Oh, and handily Sturridge is back and scoring just in time too.

Outstanding.

yep.

I'm sure for the money we paid we could've got a solid British centre half in. Someone who I'd at least feel more confident with today.

We are where we are though, let's hope he does us proud.

 

[Walken]

Naismith bagged a perfect hattrick against the champions only a couple of weeks ago...he's got this.

Kone as supersub later on.

and he missed it with a dreadful performance, big Lukaku fan, but with him and naismith up top the ball retention is horrendous, and makes Ross play worse, Lennon is no liability defensively and offers far more than Naismith, still leaving Kone to come if needed, Naismith is also better off the bench, when starting more times than not he hinders his team mates

 

[Blue & White]

Was hoping to see Stones and Coleman back obviously, but I'm still feeling positive.
COYB!

 

[davek]

Looking at those line ups I see them having the edge.

WTF is he doing not playing Kone form the off?

Also, his comments on players injured cant ever be taken seriously again. Stones and Coleman obviously nowhere near fitness in the past few weeks.

Pissed off with that.

 

[Jamiednm]

I'm just waiting for Naismith to come off and Kone to come on well in to the second half 'til we start playing. :/

 

[blue4eva77]

Naismith... ?? Think we are a lot more dangerous with kone linking up with Barkley and lukaku myself.
