Did you prefer that time we got stuffed 4-0 or the 96th minute clanger last season

Richarlidon will definitely put some goals past their joke keeper.

no way will i be watching this, it will be painful.

Feel sorry for anyone with a ticket.

 

[Adam-GOTTV]

Would be ironic if it was this Everton side that managed to beat this Liverpool side.

*Puts crack pipe down*

I don’t, they’re stupid and naive enough to buy one and go to the game.

I don't care if we have to delve into the u16's but we need to find something better than have Gylfi playing centre mid alongside Davies.

Even if Delph is passed fit you just get a sense he's one stretch away from his hamstrings twanging again.

If Bernard is fit I'd like him to come back in, Richarlison on the right, Iwobi behind Kean. That means a flat back 4 which might affect how much of a threat Sidibe is as he looks so much better further up the pitch.

I'm not sure 3 centre backs will prove a success in the long term so not sure if that will help Wednesday.

not even arsed anymore me

didn't even fume yesterday when Leicester scored at the end, you just expect pure misery being a blue don't you

be arsed with the half n half scarf wearing rats fans being beauts the next day though

 

[AussieToffee11]

I’m one of the unfortunate going. Never been to derby at Anfield. Are the pubs around Goodison full of blues before the game/is that best area to have a drink before going to the game? Need to get myself in a state that I don’t remember the pending battering

 

[Sharpattack]

You could not pay me enough to have to watch this game. Think I'll go to the movies

 

[JJK]

Made up it's on Amazon Prime, so I can't watch it. Save the misery.

As maligned as he is, I think we'd have a better shape and be more compact if we went 3-5-2 with Morgan alongside Tom. That way Gylfi can go further forward, or even be replaced by Bernard or Iwobi to go 3-4-1-2. I'd put Richarlison and Kean up front as the two. Then we can always then switch is to 3-4-3 if (when) behind, by simply taking out one of the three centre mids for a winger.

I should add, the other benefit of the 3-5-2 is that it gives Digne and Sidibe two "proper" targets at centre forward. Nearly all of our threat yesterday came from full backs but too often they put a cross in and there weren't enough bodies in a central position to get a head or foot on it.
