Pre Match Pre Match - Everton (A) - Sat 12:30

I do hope Slot has taken on board one of Klopp’s final comments. “I wish I had played Elliott earlier”. He was probably out most in form player for the final dozen games of last season.

Let’s see. Remember one of the Nunez goals at SJP last year came from Elliot pressing like a beast. Opportunity missed, let’s see how quickly we learn from it
 
He's been injured since early September though. I wouldnt be worried just yet. I'd like to see him in that 10 role.
Can start vs Girona.
 
Diaz is better. Just play Diaz.

Why are we over complicating it?

Kelleher

Trent
Gomez
Virgil
Robertson

Gravy
Szoboszlai
Elliott

Gakpo
Diaz
Salah
The double pivot players are Gravy, Macca, Endo, Jones & Morten - No way either Szobo or Elliott should play there.
 
Whenever we have needed to beat this lot we never do it, Like fucking never and thats despite them being utter shite, garbage of a team, and that was under Klopp. People say we lost titles to city because we ne never beat them, but my view is we lost titled coz we drew games that we should not have. If we dont win on Saturday against this lot then forget about ANY title aspirations. We need to show that shit teams in the main cannot stop us from dumping on them.

Szobo can play there when he is on his game, which he has been for past 3 or 4 when he has finally been passing to his own team.
 
Gomez over Quansah for sure and I'd also prefer Szob in Macca's position and Jones further forward but it'll probably be the other way around
 
Trouble is, the Ev start playing like 1970 Brazil whenever they're up against us.
Please don't compare Brazil 1970 with Everton, in fact don't compare Brazil 1970 with any team in history.
Everton don't play football against us at their ground - they play wrestling and thuggery shit. My biggest fear is what we lack - I want him to start Endo because he loves a duel - and winning them will mean maybe winning the game.
 
Diaz is better. Just play Diaz.

Kelleher

Trent
Gomez

Gravy

Elliott

Gakpo

I don’t know whether it’s overcomplicating to play Gakpo in a position he played most a few seasons back, versus playing Diaz in a position he’s barely played for us.

Honestly, not sure either are good/ because they’ve both played better on the left - but it’s either that or Donkey.

Playing Slobbers or Harvey as a false 9 is definitely over complicating things.

Gakpo was LW for PSV, be plays LW for Holland.

Sure he's had the odd game at Striker and RW for them. But it was only really under Klopp he played as 9.

"Can' isn't 'should'. He's not a defensive minded CM and you'd be losing the best assets of his game.
 
Slots presser:

Alisson close to a return but Kelleher will start
Jota close to a return
 
They're saying there's a possibility our derby match might get postponed. 60+mph winds forecast at match time in Liverpool.

Their fans want it postponed. I’d like to have Gravy rested and Jota playing. So not against it.
 
Match cancellations are usually made out of fears for the safety of the fans, not the game itself. It's usually safe within the ground but they worry about people having an accident getting there or getting home afterwards. That's why games are cancelled for snow or ice - the undersoil heating means the pitch will be playable, but if it's not safe outside then it'll be cancelled.
I wouldn't be surprised to see this one called off tomorrow, and in truth it would probably suit us to have a bit of down time right now.
