Match Thread Liverpool v Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Hopefully this is Liverpool fans at full time on Saturday (more likely to be us of course, but one can dream)

Hope not. Absurd levels of optimism from some on here aside, this game is basically a free hit.

Just checked the betting and there are Liverpool players I had never heard of with shorter first scorer odds than any of ours (Ben Doak, take a bow).

Might as well go for it, say I. Tell em everyone expects them to get tonked; send them out with a point to prove. Get in their faces. Disrupt. But make some moves ourselves.

We need to start with Garner and Onana in my view but I just can’t see Dyche doing that. All the evidence from games this season is that he will shoehorn Gana in.

Think Liverpool have some injuries don’t they? But still would expect them to be too strong for us. But it is a free hit really. I doubt many genuinely expect us to get anything.

Of the reasons for optimism I can see, are the away form having been better; and also Dyche showing at Villa that he was capable of coming up with a tactical plan to outwit a specific opposition.

Here’s hoping he has more surprises up his sleeve here.

Play at the same level we did Brentford Villa (cup) and Bournemouth and we get something in my view.

Robertson out according to the Red Echo

 

[God Benfrey]

Think this is more winnable then people are making out, not saying we will but I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if we scored a couple

 

[Jeff Jones]

It'd be nice to score first. They go down 0.-1 a lot, but usually equalise and go on to win. That won't always happen.

Was it reported in the obituary bit

 

[Shibbywiggles]

I thought Dyche was good at these kind of games but the Arsenal home performance really rubbed me the wrong way

We’re better at containing and quick counters which we showed a few times against Bournemouth but these ain’t Bournemouth

I’m almost certain we’ll lose but I felt that way against Brentford and was certain we’d beat Luton so what do I know!?

 

[the golden visionary]

Zackly. The RS will bring this up for ever.

I'll counter and bring up Slippys stamp, and Kuyt's kung-fu kick , the Vampires kivk on Miraalas, and Ridwell, there's loads, abd they rarely get even a booking.

I hope Everton turn up and get into then and play with no fear.
UTFTs!

That’s not like you Matty, you’re normally a bundle of joy.

this the one we’re im correct

 

[Ring master]

this the one we’re im correct

It would make a change, have you ever said Everton to win a game, (without saying we should win, but we wont etc) lol

 

[Chewbacca]

Looking for a good, honest performance and not too much damage to the Xg

 

[PrekisCrossBarlow!]

Really hope he doesn't go to the back three again as per Villa away. Michael Keane can be nowhere near this match.

 

[JLW]

As always in this fixture its mentality, go there with a defeatist mentality by the players or manager and they will steamroller us.

Go to win, play to win, if they beat us i can take that but i cant take a negative defeatist approach.
Nearly all teams who get something there are the teams that play without fear.

For the last couple of decades we have been beat before the team bus has arrived at the ground.
