POLL - upcoming Derby/SF

[helpimonfire]

Just do them. The RS are crap.

I'm just pleased we are playing Derby in the SF.

Steven Gerrard's hat-trick ensured there was no happy 10th anniversary for Everton manager David Moyes as Liverpool eased to a comfortable victory in the Merseyside derby at Anfield.

Gerrard scored in the first half and then twice more after the break - including one in the final minute - to earn Liverpool their biggest win against Everton in nine years and ensure Moyes remains without an away derby win in his decade in charge at Goodison Park.

It was also the first hat-trick in a Merseyside derby since Ian Rush scored four in the Reds' 5-0 win at Goodison Park in 1982, and the first at Anfield since Fred Howe achieved the feat for Liverpool in 1935.

The hosts never looked in any danger of a fourth successive Premier League defeat while Everton's much-changed side looked totally incapable of extending their unbeaten run in all competitions to 10 matches.

Gerrard produced contrasting finishes of delicate touch and power to prevent the visitors securing their first win at Anfield since 1999, a result that would have seen them leapfrog Kenny Dalglish's side in the Premier League table.

NEVER AGAIN. EVER. FFS

No way can risk.....
Robles
Colman
Funes morí
Lukaku
Jimmy
Lennon
Ross

We could play


Howard
Pennington
Stones
Jagielka
Galloway

Besic
Cleverley
Osman
Mirallas
Gerry
Niase

Subs
Stanek
Mattioni
Evans
Kone
Pienaar
Gibson
Dowell

With that team, we will give them a game and not risk key players for semi.

In 20 years time if we win the cup, we wont remember a dead rubber league game.

 

[Verbal Kint]

Only players I'd consider resting are Rom, Barkley and Jags perhaps. 3 huge players for us and we could play Niasse Mirallas and Stones.

No probs

 

[toffeejack]

haha, of course it "had" to be played them.

i reckon there is 0% chance that will be our team

 

[degsy]

they're not a big club, it's not a big game, no big deal, sign the doctors notes, pay the fine, whatever.

look at them like they're the 'Flu. or a 'stomach bug' aka 'the galloping wild ....'

you would swerve that a few days before a semi final now wouldn't you.

I reread my original post and agree that Howard should not be in goals

Never thought I'd say this, but forget this year's Anfield derby. Unlike 2012, they can't do a league double over us. We'll have them next year when Yarm is goosing defences up and down the country, and our new manager Ronald Koeman brings Van Dijk in from Soton as Jag's successor.... maybe throw Tadic, and Ward-Prowse into the bargain as Barry's padwan....

.....well I rate JWP even if nobody else does!

Anyways. T'Derby squad:

Joel
Browning-Stones-Mori-Galloway
Ledson-Oviedo
Geri-Clev-Kev
....Boats and hoes? *receives whisper in ear*

Oh, right, well Niasse then. Maybe he'll be the surprise package we need?

T'usual for semi.

Put out a team capable of winning. It isn't small time to think about resting players for a really importantough, if not season-defining match. It is small time to think that we can't field a squad to beat the RS that doesn't include our best 3-5 players. We have more goals and assists on our bench than they've got in their starting. How many teams have benched a striker with a hat trick, two wingers that are good for 8-10 goals/assists every year? We are more than capable of saving our goal machine for the biggest game of his club career.

 

[canuckblue]

Unfortunately, yes.

We have at least 2 derbies every season. We dont have 2 semis that often, so needs must imo.

There are pills to help that.

Well.... Stevie is now playing in the MLS for starters and they have no Suarez....

 

[rbm]
