Match Thread Everton 2-2 Liverpool. Wednesday February 12th . 7.30 pm

[Kendal]

Coach to arrive at 17:45

Be in the pub having a pre match libation

 

[bluelife]

Come on David, please engineer something here and take the first wheel off their title run….

Sky reporting that the team were at Goodison at 09:30 today for a team briefing before returning to hotel in town. Different approach

 

[bluestevon]

If one of our players gets sent off for violent conduct they would miss games against palace, Man Utd and Brentford

Last second sub for Doucoure with instruction to snap VVD then it is , hell can throw young on and get Salah in a double win.

 

[johnjoeefc]

I would be made up if we win this

 

[bluestevon]

Beto scores the winner tomorrow and goes down in Evertonia lore.

It is known.

Lindstrom mate, and all the naysayers are converted

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

He probably will. We're probably going to be without the ball for most of the game, so it makes sense to play Doucoure rather than Alcaraz.

That’s the problem mate, when we do have the ball we’re going to have to make the most of it and whilst Doucoure can press he’s a liability with the ball. Also, listening to some of the Southampton fans Alcaraz is good with the ball and pressing and closing down.

So your Da shagged a Liverpool fan?

There is a high likelihood yours has too, sorry pal.

 

[bluestevon]

Incidentally, the first ever game under lights at Goodison was also against the RS.
We won that 2-0, I'm expecting the same result again.

First Goodison derby last time round Moyes won 1-0, can't remember if it was a night game though but think it may have been.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Bricking it

 

[Victus]

This day is going annoyingly fast lol

 

[PhilEFC]

Come on You Blues. UTFT!!

 

[ToffeeTim]

I do not like derby day.

Even though they are massive favourites, it will really hurt if we lose this one.

Yeah last derby and last night game, just think it's one of those Everton moments of disappointment we are all used to when you pray and hope just for once that things fall our way but those moments are so few and far between nowadays. I just know it deep down they'll be singing 'We won the league at Goodison park' by the end of tonight and it'll break us.

an example of the often very subtle media bias towards that lot... read the caption for the first photo...
"Sami Hyypia clashes with Duncan Ferguson in 2004" ha ha
and later "Barry Venison snaps into a tackle on Ian Snodin"... a tackle?

Everton v Liverpool: Merseyside derbies at Goodison Park – in pictures

As the final derby at Goodison takes place, we look at some images from the so-called ‘friendly derby’ at the famous old ground by Stanley Park

www.theguardian.com

I looked at that article and in one way or another, each image was more positive for them than it was for us
