The Merseyside Derby Build Up Thread

Big Fat Sam · February 5, 2015

I hope Lennon dives for a penalty and gets one, despite the nearest Liverpool player being 15 metres away and the referee mere yards from the incident.

I also hope it leads to Gerrard being sent off, and takes place in the third minute.

Can see Gerrard getting away with murder in this one the way there building it up to be about him. The ref will be to scared to book him/send him off because of the occasion that the media are making.

Some journo is trying to get Roberto to join in on the Gerrard fapfest. He piped him right down. RIGHT DOWN.

So am I, though there must some doubt about McCarthy's match fitness. If he's physically OK I'd chance it.

No way would I chance it. It's what I think has caused the long layoff and with Europa League games coming up there's far more important games than this one given the league is already done.

Coutinho is crap to be honest, just because he had a good game (actually, did he?) against Bolton Wanderers at the second attempt doesn't make him a decent player, despite what his manager says. I'm more worried about Gerrard, who we all claimed was finished about five years ago, getting another hat trick.

Coutinho is a brilliant player. They have a shaky defence, goal keeper and Gerrard's lack of pace but going forward they're very good.

I'm worried about Gerrard too. Week in week out he is finished at this level but he can still perform for a once off game.

Think everyone realises this. I'm glad I haven't got Sky and don't read the papers because I couldn't take it.

Because he's more experienced than besic and McCarthy

Plus if we defend deep and play direct it will suit Barry. He won't find himself in no-man's land.

Barry is OK for this game although I would have preferred Besic and McCarthy obviously.

I hope our Stewards are going to be extra specially vigilant on Saturday looking for people smuggling in sniper rifles.

Don't want to give that shower any excuses for their usual diving antics.

Really hope we can win this one and make softlads last derby a special one. The ammount of pain he has put us through over the years really hope he goes off on a stretcher or atleast nothing to shout about.

That's all we ever hear, he's X amount of days away, have been hearing this for yonks.

Barry and besic for sat then!

If we win the Gerrard song will come out and that will be justice enough for me. As for getting the win itself, if either team picks up a clean sheet they'll get three points, simple as. Whose defense do I trust more?
