Match Thread Liverpool v Everton - Sunday 10th December

[jinkyali]

Really wish we Barkley for this, given that we're basically going to have to play on the counter, he could have done damage.

Lennon, Sig and DCL/Niasse will have to make the most of any opportunity when the ball breaks.

Ross has bottled every Derby he has ever played in.

 

[jinkyali]

For me it's simple.

Frustrate them. Counter on them and try and make set pieces count.

Allardyce has won there previously. We have players who have won there previously too in a similar manner.

Listening to Sam comments after Saturday, you get the impression he thrives on trying to upset the so called. If teams.

Think the fact we have zero expectations in terms of a result may help. Also weirdly think Sammy Lee will be in there faces all week as will Duncan.

A whole week of me stressing and not sleeping to look forward to. Great ! Strangely I’ve still got a glimmer of hope for the game. The hope will kill me

 

[MikeH72]

We are going to win lads.

We are not, sorry m8

Their arrogance is their weakness, for years they have gone into this fixture expecting three points. Maybe Sam can exploit this, who knows? I'll say one thing though, his team won't be going in cowed in fear aka Martinez and Moyes teams.

It won't be pretty, in fact I want it to be ugly. Like a brawl. If they win, so be it, but bloody their nose and kick 'em in the bollocks. If Everton are going to win at Anfield you have to instill fear in them. Intimidate them out of the game. Anyone who witnessed Smith, Case, Souness and McMahon knows the black arts etc...We haven't had that since the 80's. It's about time it came back.

I've got a feeling we'll win, for once and because of Big Sam every man will defend for their lives and Niasse will sneak one or two, COYB

Spoken like a true blue
I like the cut of your jib sir

 

[MikeH72]

Sadly apocryphal, Dave.

He has beaten them five times in circa twenty six attempts

Drawn sommat like another five and lost the rest.

Jesus, I wish we could get close to that record.

It’s that hope that kills you mate

 

[Penno]

I'm doing my bit by putting Sallah as captain in my fantasy team

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

Hope Niasse has been perfecting his diving skills just to annoy them

 

[ijjysmith]

Simply can’t understand why anyone thinks we’ll get anything there.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Good old dreary 0-0 will do me this time round.

 

[kenada_blue]

As long as we volley em and we give the ref absolute hammer (complete with FA fines afterwards).

I'm not too fussed.

 

[NCLBlue]

Salah to pick up a thigh strain midweek and Coutinho to pick up mysterious bug and be ruled out....

Still 3-0.

No, please don’t lose Everton. Cannot be dealing with the Geordie RS super fan (with no links to RS) at work.

..up the Toffees.
