He looks like he's put on weight. Fucking irritating fucker.
 
Fair point.

I've been quietly impressed with him since he joined. Must admit his signing underwhelmed me but he's winning me over.

He hasn't been what I expected at all, but in a positive way. He seems to be taking more and more responsibility in midfield and he seems to be a really cool head. I think he'll get goals more regularly in the future as he gets his bearings.
 
Everton haven't won at Anfield in 18 years...that's a bit mad isn't it? It's not like we've been brilliant every season since then.
 
That worries me more than anything. I wish we'd lost last season when it didn't matter too much. I hate these kinds of record. They beg for the Universe to fuck it all up and equalise things.
 
Lots of talk that Lucas is on course to start in midfield. Don't shoot the messenger peeps.
 
I know you tend towards the doom and gloom end of the spectrum and you could be trying the double bluff thing. But.....in case you're not, I'm not sure I agree with any of this.

This is their cup final. That means high intensity and pressing from them, which means we can play it around them with the good ball players we have in the final third. Also them fired up usually leaves them lacking positional and general discipline.

Are they dangerous? Of course, it's the Derby. Are we as bad as you say? No.

That said, I'm shitting it and I'm going. I'm practicing my Norwegian accent as we speak for their fans.
Will you be in the Harry before/after the game mate?
I will keep an eye out for you if you are.
You might even get a pint out of me.🙂

Hmm, not much else to add in midfield without rotating either Coutinho or Milner and changing even more of the structure of the team. Not with both Hendo and Gruijc out.
Cant say that I like it mind.
 
I'll be in there or The Flat Iron
Well if you are in the Harry look out for me.
I will be with the big bro and he is hard to miss🙂
Hopefully I might catch Sean and Bobby there as I haven't seen the big fella in ages

What the hell has happened to Stewart ? If he's not getting games now he's 100% gone this Summer.
 
Henderson and Sturridge 100% out.

I wouldn't mind Lucas as a DM in this game with Can and Gini further forward. It's going to be a dog fight in there and I think Lucas will keep a calmer head than Stewart. The other option would be to put Milner in there and put Moreno as LB shudder

Expected XI?


-------------------Ming--------------------
Clyne-----Matip---Klavan----Milner
----------------Lucas------------------
-----------Gini-------Can--------------
-----Mane----Firmino------Coutinho


Subs
Karius
Lovren
AA
Moreno
Ejaria
Woodburn
Origi (I'd actually start him over Firmino, but I doubt Klopp would)

We got our fuck up of the universe thing when Jagielka thrash in that equaliser from 30 yards. That would never have gone in in a million years. They need to be cursed for the next million years as a result.
 
Fuck Lucas right off.

----------------Ming-------------------
Clyne----Matip----KIavan---Milner
----------Can-----Wijnaldum-------
--------------Coutinho---------------
--Mane------Firmino-----Origi----

Yeah, that's my team too.

I mean, I'm pretty ambivalent about who plays LW - Origi, Moreno, Ojo, Woodburn, Obi Wan Kenobi - I don't fucking care - but there's no valid reason to play fucking Lucas.
 
Origi has something to prove too, plus he had a great game against them last season before getting crocked and he has his opposite Belgian number to try to eclipse too.
 
Yep. I fucking HATE early kick offs for that very reason. Has the capability to destroy your mood for the entire weekend. Even more so when it's playing the bitters.

Plus I have my father in law, who doesn't give a shit about footy, coming round to use our cellar for storage whilst they put their house on the market. When I said to him I'd be watching the match & gave him the time he said "It's ok, I don't need you to give me a hand, I'll carry it down myself".

There's four or five car loads of stuff. If I don't give him a hand I'm gonna look like a right cunt. Watch him turn up minutes before kick off.
