SOME OF THE ANCELOTTI PRE MATCH LIVERPOOL P/C

Calvert-Lewin and Allan return​

Ancelotti confirms DCL and Allan are back for the derby
Gbamin and Mina are the only absentees tomorrow
Allan was out for two months. To have him back is really important for us in this period

Carlo on James​

He's happy here, confident, motivated. He had a problem in the last few games with his calf but now he's in a good condition. I don't know if he complains about the weather, but we know it's not the best! There are other good things in this area."

Pickford criticism​

Criticism is part of our job. Alisson knows this, Pickford knows this. You don’t have to put in the discussion their quality.
He is focused to prepare for the game. "He's focused to prepare the game. Of course he was not happy when the injury [to Van Dijk] happened but I think now he's focused only on the game

Carlo on Liverpool​

It will be a different game. Every team has its own quality but what doesn't change is the difficulty of the game. Our motivation is really high because it's a derby & we want to compete against our neighbours

Carlo on Derby Aggression​

It's important to be focused on what we are going to do on the game, to be brave and to be confident. At the end, we are going to play football and Liverpool will do the same

Carlo on Liverpool Game Plan​

I think to play against Liverpool we have to compete on the intensity level they use in games. You have to try to find solutions up front because you cannot only defend against them. We are going to try to propose something tomorrow.

More on Allan​

He can add more intensity, more concentration defensively but I have to say Tom Davies, who replaced him, most of the time did really well. I'm happy to have him back because I think the consistency of the team is going to improve

Carlo on Anfield chances of Winning​

For sure they lost the support of their fans. In this sense, Anfield was one of the most difficult stadiums to play at... It's the same that happened to us & other teams in this particular season when you cannot have the support of your fans
It’s a long time that Everton won a derby. It could be the right time tomorrow. It depends on what we are able to do on the pitch & only this.

Carlo on Mina​

He had a problem on his calf, he will be out for at least three or four weeks.

Carlo on James​

James is not 100% but "99%" fit for tomorrow

Criticism on Pickford.. Allison knows this. Boooooom

 

[Alan Whittle]

I'd take 1-1 now

So would I for the Palace game.

 

[Azza]

Criticism on Pickford.. Allison knows this. Boooooom

It's quite funny really. Alisson has quite literally been passing to opposition players and conceding goals and nothing is said about it.

 

[Curtis]

I'm assuming we'll employ tactics akin to the strategy utilized by Homer Simpson when he was a boxer. Just stand back and withstand being continously bludgeoned by Liverpool , hoping they become overwhelmed by fatigue through their relentless attacks and collapse on themselves. It's a daring approach.

 

[marcus]

No sliding tackles,no diving in,no giving silly free kicks away, just work as hard as they are in midfield & compete don't let them settle, don't let them bully us...

DCL give Henderson hell let him know he has been in a game the fraud, make runs hold up the ball & score at least a hat-trick...

Cmon you blues make our day...

 

[sdk]

We will completely collapse as usual if not worse.

I'm afraid to ask what might be worse than a complete collapse.

Multiple amputations?

 

[Death]

Volley them all over the pitch blues.

I'd be happy with another draw and a major injury to either salad or mane

 

[LEONARD]

Putting Everton on IGNORE for 2 hours, from 5-30pm tomorrow.

 

[BigDuncis Blue]

Attack, Attack, Attack

 

[GwladysBlue]

First half an hour is key they will be blitzing us the first half we need to soak it up then ride it out and get at their back four

We concede two or more goals nearly every game. We can’t afford to try to soak anything up because we’ll concede and inevitably lose.

We need to press down the wings and get as many crosses into the box as possible.

Also, we have to get more corners than we have been lately.

 

[Bullens Rd]

I'd take pat phelan at rb right now

I'd take Pat Butcher!

 

[NathDogg]

Herr Shipmann chatting wham as per, the toothy Teutonic tit - of course they will carry "The Virgin Slaying" into tomorrow's match - they haven't stopping cryarsing about it since it happened!

Love how they have all forgot their gameplan at Goodison was to cripple James mainly, but any Everton player, and this was before Virgil died?

They don't need any encouragement to put the boot in - they have always had filthy shithouses playing for them and still do, so the fact that they will be frothing at the mouth to knacker anyone in a blue shirt is no shock.

Let's hope the ref is strong enough to put a stop......bwahahahahahaha!

Sorry, started talking bollocks near the end there. Nap we get carded first.

Arriba los caramelos!
