Good one mate. 3-1 I think we'll do these.

Top marks for that pic of Jags' goal alone! BTW, doesn't a young Stevie G. make you want to kick his favorite football into a patch of poison ivy?

Sturridge is finding his form. Sit on this dude from the first whistle. Rough him up, knock him down, dirty his uniform. Do not let him get into the match.

Discontent is growing amongst the Norwegian fanbase: maybe Brendan isn't the One. Sunday is a chance to help that process along and if the Chelsea-beating form shows up, I think we notch 2 Prem wins in one week.

Allez Oh!

The thought of Besic leaning over to Sturridge in the tunnel and whispering "I'm going to dirty your uniform" has me giddy with anticipation..

We'll dominate them and lose

Tomorrow morning is when I'll start flapping, until the game is over. Same as ever. I don't care if we had messi neymar and Ronaldo I still wouldn't be confident in the derby.

We have won only 4 of the last 34 Derby games, Jesus Christ.

There's no one left who belongs to Liverpool. It's weird. For the first time in forever there's no local academy product to be the thorn in our side. Most of their team haven't even been there 5 years. This is the year we should turn the tide.

I would obviously love to absolutely annihilate them.

But ok I'll settle for 4-0.

I really want a 96th minute winner after only 5 minutes of added time was supposed to be played, which is an offside goal off Kone's hand after he should have previously been sent off for a snide punch on Skrtel. I don't ask for much so get it done Arouna.

WarringtonBlue · September 30, 2015

The team I would like to see is

Howard

Galloway Stones Jags Coleman

Barry McCarthy

Kone/Naismith Barkley Deulofeu

Lukaku

If Stones and Coleman start, then we should use the right wing to exploit the space Moreno leaves behind him when he bombs forward as Coleman and Del are fast and can get the defenders positioning awry. On the left I'm torn between Kone and Naismith. Kone can hold up the ball well, link up with Rom and score but Naismith is the sort of snide you need in a game like this and his pressing and general wind-up merchant antics could be good.

If Stones and/or Jags are out I'd like to see Lennon on the right and Del on the left as their pressing will ease pressure as I'm sure they're going to try and target Galloway and/or Funes Mori if he plays.

I hope we take a leaf out of West Ham's book and play like we did with Utd at home this year. Catch them on the break, get McCarthy forward when we have to, get Lukaku to drift out to the right and bully whoever they have playing in Shaw's place

I'm actually torn between Lennon, Kone and Naismith. I think Naismith should start because he always seems to have a good game against them.

He does seem to score in big games. But then again Lukaku looks better with Kone.

So Lennon it is.
