Match Thread Liverpool v Everton - Sunday 10th December

[Blue 1]

Anything other than a complete bumming will be a pleasant surprise.

The dirtbirds have some kind of hex on us.

There's been plenty of times in recent years when we've gone into the derby on form and feeling like our first 11 can match their's. Maybe it will suit the players to well and truly be the under dogs.

How ironic it will be if Big Sam finally breaks our Anfield duck.

Merseyside derby record in the 21st century:

Liverpool Win - 20
Draw - 14
Everton win - 4

Anything other than a comfortable win for the spawn of Satan would be a lovely surprise

This basically.

I am expecting their forwards to run riot and tear our dismal back 4 a new one.

 

[Nyhus]

Im worried.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

No Everton manager has lost their first game in charge since Billy Bingham in 1973. Appoint dyche on Friday. Easy!

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Predicting 3:1 or 4:1 to them. At the very least I hope Allardyce is able to avoid us completely collapsing if we go a goal or two behind. Obviously at least two of their goals will be quick counter attacks. It's all very well beating awful teams like West Ham and Huddersfield, but let's see how e are against actual decent sides. Please don't embarrass us Blues.

Is it wrong to think that I'd take a narrow defeat now if you offered it!

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

Let the bumming commence.

 

[Steve Wigan]

One nil to us, Cuco with an 89th minute 30 yarder!

 

[hallamblue]

I'm more optimistic now, I only think we'll lose 3-0.

 

[Richard Alex]

I’m totally sick of our inferior complex with this lot
Our team and fans act like cowards
Just get into them and get some positivity going

They are decent going forward but weak at the back
Our mind set is pathetic. We need to work our socks off closing down. Don’t leave space behind us and frustrate them. Defend in groups and be aggressive
Blimey you’d think we are playing barcelona!!!
We have played city and should have won and they are much better than Liverpool
I’m glad I’m not fighting in any trenches with you lot.
2 clean sheets on the bounce and a bit more confidence please COYB.

We are serial bottlers, so I can't see anything but a good thrashing coming up.

Everyone remembers Kev scoring in front of the kop... because there's been sod all worth remembering since.

3-1 or 4-1 to the RS.

 

[witchdoc187]

If enough of us sack it off, I'm pretty sure we might win 45-0 for all the pain we've had to take over the years.

I'm considering sticking a bet on them and the draw just to cover all angles

Don’t worry about Salah lads. @Steve0 says he’s average.
