Match Thread Everton v Liverpool, Wednesday 1st December 20:15

[BlueAmigo]

I've already informed all kopites that I'll be not only switching off all forms of communication, I'll be switching off the lights too. Might just unplug the fuse box and get under the covers on Wednesday evening. I know the vultures are swarming around the manager, but for years we've accumulated a constant stream of players with absolutely no appetite for getting stuck in. This games used to be a stomach churner of nerves, but now I feel nothing.

Enjoying these comments. Everyone so negative means we will put in a good performance ?

I can see us putting in a good performance and getting beat 2-0.

 

[Thomasc]

Under no circumstances on this earth will I be wasting my evening tuning into Tapas tits and his bunch of work shy flops embarrassing themselves on national TV again.

I would suggest for the benefit of your own personal sanity and wellbeing you follow suit.

 

[The Sorting Hat]

Sod it. Ring up a couple of minutes before Kick off and tell them the bus broke down (yes I know). Default on the game. I'd take the mandatory 3-0 loss right now. At least it wouldn't screw our goal difference as badly as playing the game would.

 

[Furey1878]

Btw @Groucho kick off is 8:15PM GMT you plant pot

 

[Gilbert..]

Oh for a cahill type on wednesday.
The thing that sickens me is i know we dont have a single player who really wants it in a game like this.
We've assembled a squad of no character.

 

[Gaffa]

Kenny??
Be as well play the corner flag there

Coleman is being made the scape goat of the team and his head has well and truly gone. If you were there yesterday you’d have seen. He needs taking out and we have no other options

Coleman wearing a blindfold and using a crutch is a better option then Kenny. He was hopeless in Scotland playing against dross .

 

[nsno-chris]

He’ll pat you all on the head and tell you how hard we worked after watching the RS roll us over fun

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

The real problem is you can't even just tell them to go out and kick them and win the physical battle.

With a minority in exception these players have no heart and no character.

Even if you go to watch a player a hundred times surely you have to meet them, speak to people who know them, assess their strength of character. Our recruitment is the worst in the league.

The Rondon Derby

 

[Ruairi77]

I presume he's going to start Rondon so the starting XI will prob be

....................Pickford
Coleman, Keane, Godfrey, Digne
.............Allan, Doucoure
Townsend.........................Gray
....................Richarlison
................Rondon

Or he'll drop Rondon, Push Richie up top and play Iwobi at 10.

Either way, liverpools front 3 or 4 will make swiss cheese of that back line.
I wonder if something like this might work better

........................Pickford
............Holgate, Keane, Godfrey
Townsend........Allan, Delph......Digne
..........................Doucoure
....................Richarlison, Gray

Obviously it's defensive with the wing backs falling back to make a back 5 and plonking Delph in front of them but with doucoure, Gray, and Richie, there's some pace for a counter attack or two.

The Rondon Derby

Bed…Now

 

[everton1953]

It is OK for those who will just switch off and avoid it. I am condemned to attending the accursed game.

 

[ClausThomsen]

I would actually accept some of the players trying so hard that they lost their discipline and got sent off nobbling RS players.
It would at least show they cared. Some hope like.

God bless.

People say stuff like that but Funes Mori got absolute pelters for it.
