Run up to the Derby

[Dublintoff]

We will both take 7 points i think. We will then draw the derby.

Hope we don't bottle it again, I think the team needs to repay us after the misery against them last season

 

[Allezfan]

Oh, I must be making it up then.

You're not of course, I could name eight or nine games where a team has parked the bus and we've struggled. It's just I can also name a similar amount of games where a team has played high up the pitch and pressed us and we've struggled or a team has played possession football and we've struggled. It's just less frustating in those occassions.

I don't think it's a tactic we particuarly struggle with more than any others. It tends to be down to our form.

 

[Sheepshagger]

After the start we have made and the football we are playing I think we should be looking for a minimum 7 points from the next 3 games. I don't even think saying 9points is being greedy.
It's games like these that if we want top4 this year we need to be winning them

 

[johnnydawg68]

9 points for us, refs willing.

The RS are in deep, deep trouble.

 

[Titus Bramble]

If we want to mount a proper challenge for the top 4, which I think should be our intention this season, we need to be getting no less than 7 points from the next 3 games. The game which worries me the most out of them is QPR away, in case their new players have started to gel by the time it comes around. If not, with the way we are currently playing, 9 points is definitely possible.

 

[Joao Moutinho]

7 points for both teams

Think this'll be the year we turn them over good and proper at Goodison. Moyes had the measure of Rodgers last year in the two games we played against them. That and we are in terrific form, even if their form has picked up by then, I'm sure our confidence will still be high and we will more than likely take them apart

I wouldnt have thought that going to wigan will be any harder than going to swansea, and same for going to qpr after what we did at villa.

 

[billytoffee]

The Ref will probably play the key part in the Derby once again!!!

Appointment of the match officials is key - but I'm not sure that we have any in this country that are up to the task for this match.

Ha it never even crosses my mind that we might get a draw. Would take a point just to get us past what's happened against them this year.

9 points for us, refs willing.

I don't think they are in that much trouble, I know people laugh at them but they played well today and I do think it will fall into place for them as they say. Though an injury to Suarez and then they are in trouble!

 

[Azzurri]

This is our best chance to do the double over them since whenever we last did it.

 

[Dan Sylveste]

They'll inevitably beat us again no matter how in-form we are and how out-of-form they are.
We just have a complete and utter mental block when playing against them. They're our bogey team.

No I don´t think so, we´ll win.

Judging them on a home game against Man U is like judging us on the game at anfield.

Was it under Joe Royle?

 

[Azzurri]

Was it under Joe Royle?

Dunno, did we beat them at Goodison in 99? Don't think so, but dunno.
