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

[dannyboy]

Gomes header first three minutes.
Walcott sloppy touch when 1-on-1 (difficult, but a chance).
Bernard from six yards out.

We played very well v Chelsea. They took control in the 2nd half, but then Silva made a change to 3 at the back and they did nothing.

We played well to the extent that you´d expect an inferior team to. We were dogged and resolute, defending very well.

We´ll need a similar performance today but Liverpool will be more up for it than Chelsea were and they´re probably a better team too. Such a tough ask for us.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Rare for us to be going into a Derby with no injury problems

Dosent look like liverpool or chelsea will ave a player who hits 20 this season tho

Not on par to anyway...

Mane and Salah can contribute about 15-20 each a season imo.

Chelsea dont have a top striker I agree but their midfield is on a different level and Hazard is the best player in the league.

Is it good for us Keita isn't playing?

 

[dannyboy]

Gomez starts for them.....Bernard going to rip him to shreds

Think it´ll be a tough afternoon for Bernard. Gomez´s physical attributes will bail him out even if Bernard gets the better of him.

Fabinho wjinaldum shaquiri should be bypassed with ease, expected tosun to start upfront and richarlison on the left but still expecting a win

2 richarlison in the first half (1 header from a corner and one on the break beating the offside trap) and the a tosun header around the 70min mark.

 

[dannyboy]

Fabinho, Wijnaldum and Shaqiri in midfield for them - we have to be all over them.

They have zero aggression/stamina that Milner and Henderson possess.

Why do I still have a sinking feeling that we will barely get a kick against those three?

 

[brieverton]

Just go out and play lads, for god's sake do us proud today whatever the result.

We offered them a problem though. We didn't create loads of chances, but we were always a threat by pressing and keeping our shape. We just lacked the final pass/shot.

No changes. I'm surprised anyone actually expected any. Strongest team we have imo. Please turn up today Everton.

Gomez is centre half for them.

Liverpool unbeaten at home for over a year, unbeaten in Anfield in derbies for 18 years and unbeaten in the league this season but so many of us seem to be expecting a win. I really don´t get it.

Please don't let that tubby little mess Shaqiri score.

Last season
