The 223rd Merseyside Derby: 27/09/2014

[davek]

I don't know if this counts as mind games before the derby but Rodgers has described Liverpool as a 'little bit broken'.

"we introduced a raft of new players - you lose the core of players who were important, and that's obviously a factor and then it becomes a bit broken"

Ha Ha. "We".

No you did, no mark.

I might not even watch it. Sky+ it and if we win watch it .

Just asking for pain giving up 2 hrs on Sat afternoon to see them horrible b******s win

I'm going and I still haven't decided if I'm going to watch or not.

im fed up thinking this, dont know how many times ive been hopeful and only end up getting kicked in the horlocks when we dont turn up and as usual bottle it versus them. to many times weve been totally gutless and passionless versus them, our players just dont care enough when it comes to derby games, but for the odd occasion its been this way for years. we could have messi and ronaldo and they could have four one legged defenders and a blind goalkeeper and we would still find a way to mess it up, unfortunately they turn up on the day and show a lot more desire to win thean we do. hate to say it but the players lack the passion of our supporters. i wont be watching and expect the same tripe from our players this saturday

The thing that annoys me, is we can all see it coming, yet the players are stupid. A defender or mid getting dispossessed dawdling on the ball, which is the last thing you dont do.

At anfield, play percentages. U try to go gung ho, plays right in to their hands. Try playing risky balls out the back, It will be punished

Contain them first 30mins a must.

How many times in history have we won at Anfield ?

I hate derby day, I really do.

You'd think we'd have fluked a win there in the last 15 years, but for some reason we choke. Every. Single. Time.

I'm not putting myself through it this year. Sky+ the game, watch it if we win. If we lose I'll just have to prepare for yet another barrage of texts, FB posts and pain-in-the-backside comments at work.

 

[cjohno]

but for us being so poor defensively i would say give em no respect get stuck in to gerrard and blitz there poor defence. but they will have the same game plan now

 

[mglennon]

No high lines, play just 5-10 yrds from edge of box.

Big Dunc has issued a warning to all the players who start...its your money or your wife

Suicide that mate.

They will kill us if we give them all that space and respect... Press the ball and give them no time to think.
