First blood to EFC ladies

Do we go toe to toe or play on the counter letting them come on to us?

I think that Walcott needs to be dropped, for Lookman, but I also think pace in between the full backs and centre halves could be fruitful today. For the same reason I reckon Richarlison will play on the left. I know we’re not in the same league as PSG but we can use the tactics they did.

Why drop Walcott when you think pace will be effective. This game is set up for his pace. Doesn't mean he will play well but I think this would be the wrong game to drop/rest him for.

I'd keep him (Lookman) fresh and let him loose on Newcastle and Watford. 2 games in 4 days.

It´ll probably be the counter attack because that´s what we did against United and Chelsea.

 

[Iceman11]

Did the @Iceman11 get released yet!

Unchanged!

On the counter.
Stay in the game upto 70 mins , then hopefully PSG game will catch up with them.

But it will be a dodgy decision that could decide this...and it is at Anfield

 

[Marius57]

Highly doubtful

Yeah you are probably right. It’s the decision I would make though. Fortunately im not the manager though so hopefully whatever decision he does make works

 

[blue to the bone]

So now we know the team.
The speculation can end.

 

[f.t.r.s]

todays the day lids, first time in years i've woke up on derby day without that knot in the stomach, fear of the inevietable feeling.
All their cockyness and arrogance will be their undoing.
Plebs like merson, 'i don't think theyll have a go at liverpool', like their something special.

2-0, probably with keita or someone similar getting sent off for one too many fouls on our silky south americans after getting schooled by big andre

 

[Super Kevin sheedy]

Nearly there, are you ready, I am, can’t wait.

 

[f.t.r.s]

listening to the smug blert on capital commenting how it was only reds ringing in to say how theyre gonna smash us, idiot couldnt even get the time right, kept saying it's a half 4 kick off, if they decide theyre not playing for the first 15 thats fine by me

Or try to shock them out the gate by going hell for leather at them

You also have to factor in Robertson for this game. Walcott nullified Alonso very well 3 weeks back and could do the same for Robertson. Last season he ran us ragged in the first half until Lennon moved onto his side and stopped that outlet for them. Walcott is similar to Lennon (better offensively but similar going the other way). For me it's a no brainer re Walcott. What is interesting is whether Bernard is sacrificed for Lookman. I wouldn't and would throw him on around 60, bit can see a case for it. I think Bernard may benefit from a rest.
