Liverpool 1-0 Everton. Saturday 6th February @ 12.45.

[Wildcat]

[Poor language removed] 0 1 Mighty Blues Thunderbolt from Tony (the tiger) Hibbert in the 87th minute.

(its got to happen one day LOL)

We're in good form, yes, but people are keen to forget that the [Poor language removed] have also gone on a run of form, 5 wins and a draw from the last 6 IIRC.

Would be happy with a draw, but it's as good a chance as any to get our first win there for far too long.

They've been awful but the crisis has been nowhere near as bad as the media, and indeed themselves, have made out.

Granted they've been [Poor language removed] but they are one point off fourth place.

 

[jonuk]

tough game as usual. Will take a point and no injuries.

Absolutely. I'm optimistic about the rest of the season but we're not going to go there and outplay them (and win). If we do win, it will probably be scrappy, and we'll have to be rock solid defensively (well, hope Howard's in fine).

More likely though is that, like has been the case in most of the recent derbies, we'll play better and not win.

 

[best little spaniard]

I think we're going to lose.

I'm sorry, but I honestly do.

A mandatory 2-0? Me too.

That sounds about right.

Cheers for the optimism :/

We owe these. We owe them big, yessir. Their spawny ways seemed to leave them for a bit, and they fell apart like a cheap choc-ice. Surely our tails should be up at the moment, and we should be able to smell blood. Just once I want to throw caution to the wind for one of these teams, we always set up negatively against the so-called big four and it never gets us a win. The best way to beat Liverpool at this present time is to go for them. They messed themselves like toddlers when Reading went at them and there is enough quality in our side to make them do the same again. If we knock the hoof on the head and close them down quickly we can do them.

I want to see "24 Carra gold" sobbing his little rat face out as pienaar makes him look like a chump. I want to see each individual capillary in Benitez's eyeballs at the moment he finally realises that the team he has assembled is actually worth a quarter of what he paid for it. And we can make all this happen if we play this right.

I can see them overpowering us to be honest, Benitez will make sure his teams as big and as physical as possible. It wouldn't surprise me if Moyes uses Rodwell and Fellaini in the middle of the park or if Hibbert's fit, Neville and Fellaini.

 

[trebilcock66]

Need a big game from Fellaini to stop Steeevie from playing.

I think 1-1 or maybe a 1-0 defeat.

Hey, didn't that used to be us?


I say this speaking from the head and not from the heart. If we can beat Man City 2-0 we can beat anyone. Liverpool despite the slightly good run they are on at the moment aren't still firing on all cylinders, same could be said for us, true. But the pressure really will be on them, Rafael did a really stupid thing of promising top 4 and spurs aren't going to let go of that 4th spot easily. If we play anything like we did against city I really do think we will win. I believe Donovan, Peanuts and Baines will get a lot of joy up the wings as I think Liverpool's fullbacks really aren't to the job. In the midfield, if Felli plays like he has done we should win that battle, hoping ossie or arteta to be in the middle of the park. Defence is the only thing that concerns me, I hope if we play Johnny H and Sendoros that they spend a lot of time working at training. Because we would have lost today's game if Scotland had his shooting boots on, with the amount of times he broke our CB pairing. Thats my only concern and hopefuly Davey will have that sorted out.

So yeah, I predict a 1-0 to Everton- Cahill, Felli, Donovan, Peanuts. Name who you won't I really couldn't care. COYB!

 

[tsubaki]

We will need to play as we did against City, but that lot are eminently beatable, and seem to be waiting for someone to come along and put them out of their misery.

I hope its us that kills them off. In fact, I hope its us and its Donovan who scores the winner, as the chants of USA USA that would follow will be absolutely priceless.

 

[TX Bill]

Not only will we lose, but we'll have another nailed on penalty not called.

Guaranteed.
