Match Thread Everton V Liverpool 19th December 2016

[ToffeeTim]

Starting to dread this. Can already feel the pre derby nausea setting in

 

[LAToffee]

Is it possible? Can we? Will we? Should I put myself through the pain of hope again? Can I find faith? Oh just please........ Everton!

Don't do it to yourself mate. Walk the dog, get the disappointment off the internet, and then move on to the Christmas games.

Draw or lose for me. Until we get leadership on the park, it won't change. We need a player who hates this lot as much as us and has the leadership to translate that into dominance on the field. Sorry gents. I've been to this movie too many times already.

Who is their leaders? they have no Carra or Stevie type on the pitch nowdays they have soft lad Henderson, for me we have advantage being at home, scousers on the pitch and two international captains.

Worse I can see is a draw mate.

If you accept we are going to lose, probably quite badly (either by getting trounced or losing to a late goal from Henderson), then the nerves turn into numb despair. By Wednesday, it'll be forgotten.

...and off the park too. HK or Big Joe letting the players know exactly what this means.

Don't have the same feeling RK has got to grips with how big the club is.

They are in good form and scoring at will. We have rolled over for the last 15 years. The only thing we've got going for us is a night game under lights. An early tackle and who knows? (I know! We bottle it every year!)

I try to resign myself to the inevitable to ease the pain, but it don't work. Derby losses are grim and the pain lingers.

Time for players to be held accountable the manager says we must beat them and if we play like we did vs AFC we will bully them, for me the ref bottled a stonewall pen vs AFC due to the pressure from the crowd.

No need to be defeatist if Gana has a performance like he did vs Payet, Ozil, Pogba on henderson and Mane we will be laughing.

Didn't you see Seamus Coleman against Arsenal? What more leadership do you want? Add in the Wales captain and a fired up McCarthy, Mirallas and Funes Mori and we have plenty of leadership and plenty of passion IMO.

Great post, compared to their team they have no leaders and we will bully them off the pitch if we aren't timid.

Coleman or Barkley Cap for this one please, will be disappointed if Barry Starts as he slows the game right down.

We should go out there and run into them in the first min and do a nasty borderline tackle to show them what we all about and get crowd going instead of sitting back and letting them settle, a shot in first 5 mins of either half will be boss to show them they are backs against the wall.
