Match Thread Liverpool v Everton - Sunday 10th December

[Barnfred 55]

How does anyone get such an inferiority complex?

Embarrassing.

They have an excellent record against us in this fixture but this is Liverpool, the team that routinely plays poor against utter tripe, the one that hasn't won a domestic title for 27 years. They are not one of the heads of state in our game.

Davek rallying the troops.

Nice one.

maybe they'll be tired

They could play a full 90 minute game right before the derby and they'd still slaughter us

 

[Neiler]

You can get odds on us winning at 10/1 and the draw 5/1.

All over that.

Well Roy is unconvinced by the RS as you'd expect.

How short are our collective memories?
There was a period from Joe Royle’s appointment until part-way through Moyes reign where Kopites (the normal non-match going types) used to say “this is your cup final, you always play better when you play us”.
They feared us. We had a psychological advantage.

The problem is nowhere near irreversible and we need to stop acting like fannies. Every team beats the [Poor language removed] occasionally because they are not that good.

Stop giving them a hoodoo/psychological advantage- you melts

It will be the same team as Huddersfield and West Ham I bet.

I went to the Anfield derby in 2014 and the one in 2016.

We lost both of them 4-0.

I think I might be jinxed.

I HATE it when I see posts like "we'll get something here" , "we're due a win" or "can see us getting a result".

I'd love to know what is giving these people so much confidence...

We are starting at a 2-0 defecit the way I see it. There is no possible way they don't score AT LEAST twice. Kenny, Williams and Martina are all turbo gash, if Holgate/Keane and most importantly Pickford don't come with the performance of their careers then we simply can't keep them out. That means we need goals, but from where? If they choke the space Rooney operates in how the hell are we gonna create anything...

As much as RS fans downplay this fixture, call us a small club etc. they always rise to the occasion as if their season depends on it. Not only are we the biggest bunch of bottlers in history, we have an utterly crap team now and for some reason some folks on here seem convinced that it boosts our chances of winning?

The last time the majority of the fanbase was utterly convinced we'd get bummed was towards the end of Martinez's reign, and we got thrashed 4 and it could have been 8. I don't think it will get that bad as i think we'll put up a defensive effort but they will almost certainly score twice. Would love to be proved wrong but pulling false positivity out of my arse is something I won't do.

I see where you're going with this! Destiny has butter on her fingers! And one of those special long, thin forks for getting the meat out of crab legs!

Okay, actually I don't see where you're going at all.

And I ordered a curry, and it's given me terrible wind.

But sometimes it just feels like it is a bit of a hoodoo, Voodoo.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing or a just ok thing?
