Match Thread Liverpool v Everton, April 20th KO 20:00

[Andy McGurk]

I'm off to catch a plane this evening, so if we can all just think the phrase "Kone Hattrick" on a loop, maybe the power of thousands of Evertonians might just give him special powers to pull off 3 crazy overhead kicks in a game.

We must believe, that's all unfortunately this team can do.

Kone Hattrick

Keep saying it

Kone Hattrick

 

[Groucho]

Don't usually got for team selection but:

Robles

Oviedo
Stones
Funes Mori
Connolly

Mirallas
Barry (replace w/ Besic from bench)
Barkley
Gibson (replace w/ McCarthy from bench)
Lennon (replace w/ Deulofeu from bench)

Lukaku (if fit, Kone or a youth striker if not fit, let's give one a chance, they can't do much worse than Niasse)


Maybe Galloway could play at his preferred CB and Stones at RB?

Just seen klopps interview he says he wants to win because they go to 5th and 5th us better than 6th and 7th.

Must admit I'm truly shocked, thought 5th was the same as 15th

....tried it but a bit of a tongue twister. Ended up saying Harry Catterick.

At least one manager from tonight's game has mastered the art of stating the bleedin' obvious....if only there were two...

Come on @Groucho I know you're probably getting a bit worked up about it already but see some sense mate, straighten your head ...





Martinez is never going to make 3 subs unless he's forced to do it by injuries.

If stones and Mori don't flap about with the ball in our own box and we don't act like fckng choir boys on the first day of service and we press and counter attack with Lennon and Mirallas wide instead of sleepwalking and passing without the intent to attack, then I believe we can beat them.

Not sure why but this will be the first derby in ages i really won't be arsed about tuning into it.

Normally i can not care about the result recently but still eagerly wait the game, now i'll be watching it for the sake of it only. Just so if any reds talk to me tomorrow about it i can know what they are on about and tell them they are wrong.

Be nice to see a barkley goal tonight though, don't care if it is 5-1 by the end, as long as ross bags a derby goal, that's one positive out of the game.

Naisse up front.

End of.

Heard a little story from mates of a mate (you know the routine) apparently during a training session at Finch Farm to assess the Naisse, Big Dunc spoke a asked Naisse to run, collect the ball shoot and score.

The story goes that one of the trainers under arm rolled the ball, Naisse chased it like a bat out of hell, touched it once, second time he stood on the ball and fell over.

Apprently the lads from the U21's squad thought it was a scream, Naisse clutched his wrist when he got up

I have a funny feeling that the comments from other forum members could be true, so Naisse up front for the Derby, no thanks, he will have the same effect that Glen Keeley did whilst on loan from Blackburn many moon ago.....

 

[Ashtonian]

Just said on the radio 'liverpool and everton meet tonight at anfield with the hope of getting bragging rights'

Yeah, don't think any everton fan will be doing much bragging if we win.

 

[Yorkie]

See that beaut Klopp has been trying to play up to their fans, he said something like: "Everton were a successful club in the past but they're not used to playing two games a week." Straight out of the Benitez school of respect. The arrogant plank.

Haha the buck-toothed man child! He was nearly in tears when he had to play games cup replays after failing to beat lower league opposition

 

[matty1878]

If we concede less than 3 il be surprised like.

So you're forecasting a defeat for us.
