The Merseyside Derby

[Hansern]

My guess is Ox or Lallana gets the nod as we need some creativity in the mid.

Yeah, there is definitely a case for either Ox or Keita aswell. Keita is due a start now.

No he isn't.

 

[Dreambeliever]

No he isn't.

Literally would start Curtis over him in a derby

 

[Insignificance]

If we want creativity, its definitely Shaq we should be playing.

Could be, but is he ready? Haven't seen him named on the bench even since forever?

Eh...he was on the bench against Brighton

 

[Insignificance]

Could been. Started drinking a bit early that day... But you know what I mean. He was not trusted when he was fit and in form, so I doubt he gets the nod now.

Obviously I'm just saying

 

[tomasjj]

I guess it will be Ox.

As opposed to what? Metaphorically, figuratively?

 

[Red Bird]

The bitters were organised against Leicester and played quite well, apart from some nonsense with injuries. We need to be alert and stop gifting the chances we did against Brighton.

Just to check - signing up for Amazon Prime means we can watch the game online ? And obviously cancel afterwards if we want. There's no catch ?

Yup.

 

[Ukrainian by marriage]

Thanks Doc. I plan to test it tonight by watching Burnley stuff City ...

I can’t see klopp verging from hendo, Milner and wini in midfield for a derby

That is not a bad thing for a game against Everton. I hate that combo but against Everton without Fabinho it is required for the level of aggression that both Milner and Henderson will put in.

I can’t klopp risking it with in ox in the middle for a derby

 

[Donavan Ried]

Time for Mo to re-discover the form that saw him net 32 goals in the 2017/18 season 5-0

I don’t know, for a derby years ago, I’d agree with the sentiment. But when was the last time Everton didn’t sit back and play for a draw against us? It’s no longer this super aggressive tie it used to be.
With that in mind I wouldn’t mind having Ox run at them from midfield or trying one of his long range shots.

 

[Y1]

They will come for a draw. Which is considered a win for them. Hopefully our front 3 finds their shooting boots or our midfielders contribute. Failing which VVD and Lovren to chip in. Or finally release the Divock hahahaha

 

[Modo]

I don't necessarily think a draw would mean a win for them just because it's against LFC. They're in a tough situation. A draw against Leicester a few days ago would probably also felt like a win.

 

[Y1]

They cannot chance a lost.

Had a dream on Monday morning about this game, not good - we lost 1-2

Hopefully it means nothing, but they will play the same formation as they did against Leicester I think. Just hope more than anything that no one gets injured.

Sounds like a nightmare...

 

[Modo]

Last time I said it, we beat Man C so I'm gonna say it again.
I think we're due another game when everything goes our way. We win the second balls, we get the rebounds, our passes are on target and everything just runs smoothly.

In a derby you need battlers in midfield. Ox is weak, save him for bournemouth

 

[tomasjj]

Yes, it is a derby, but Everton are shit.
Don't overestimate them yard dogs.

 

[FoxForceFive]

On xG they actually sit 7th in the table, & they proved against Leicester they can defend pretty well.

Silva has never been easy for us to best even before he went to Everton.

This could be a fucking dog of a game this, don't expect otherwise.
