Pre Match - Everton (a) - Sat 12:30pm

[mark1975]

We paid 85M for a player so we could put him on a bench, in fear of intimidation by an inferior Everton team who's missing a number of key players. On top of it all, it's a team managed by Fat Lamps.

We deserve nothing tbh, with this sort of cowardice mentality.

It's not cowardice is it? It's about him being ready. He lost his shit in the last game, quite easily and it arguably cost us in the next game. He's now going into the most heated and hate filled game of the season on the back of that, with Firmino having played well in his absence.

Sorry but it's pretty shit management if you drop a form player for a player who's put you under pressure for three games through sheer stupidity. You aren't half over the top hysterical at times. "We deserve nothing". Fuck off.

Well, see that's the problem with today's snowflake generation isnt it ?

If it was me, i would have no hesitancy to psyops him and throw him into a pool full of sharks so he can learn, but that's the generation i was brought up in.

It will depend on how tough Nunez's psyche is but he grew up in the slums, so maybe Goodison Park is too much of a step up, i dunno. I'm sure Klopp'll know far better.

What the fuck are you blathering on about? I'm sure Klopp knows he has the mentality to play, it's about putting a marker down with the player and making him earn his place and to learn that he can't be impulsive at a cost to the team. It's nothing to do with protecting him or snowflake generation bullshit.

Why are you always so angry Mark ?

Calm down ffs.

Calm down ffs.

I am calm, I just don't get your point, or the OTT reaction to a bit of man management. It's the obvious thing to do. He might start, if he does I'm sure he's had a good few weeks to get it knocked out of his system and maybe he'll have benefited from a lengthy spell of training ground work. But for me it's a big game to throw him into, especially when tactically he might take a bit of getting used to for us. I just don't see Klopp starting with him, but who knows.

Well let's agree to disagree on this and hope Nunez scores later.

After the few weeks he's had it would be a nice reprieve and a good way to kickstart, so fingers crossed.

I've got a very bad feeling about this one

 

[The Nomad]

I've got a very bad feeling about this one

I'm the opposite... if we play the right team.

However, I also felt like this before Fulham..

 

[mark1975]

Well at least the good thing with Jota back, we should have two strikers on the bench, if things go belly up, plus our super-sub Carvalho.

 

[Bradley]

I'm more concerned about our leaky, creaky defence. At least we are creating chances and the goals will come. But having to fight back from a goal down every game is a massive issue.

 

[MomoWASright]

These are ticking shite. We’ll smash them 6-0.

 

[Modo]

These are ticking shite. We’ll smash them 6-0.

For once I agree with your exaggerated score. Everton are shite.

 

[MomoWASright]

What do you mean about exaggerated?

 

[Frogfish]

I've got a very bad feeling about this one

I had that feeling before United - I have a good one for this.

 

[Donavan Ried]

Nunez will come in for extra stick when or if he enters the cauldron that is the Merseyside derby. People here must know that Everton will be doing their best to see him sent off again.
Little shoves here and there,leaving something on him when they make tackles. pinching him and little elbows off the ball, and thing to needle him.

He may well be just about able to put up with these antics for 30 mins or so, but for 60-90 mins??

We will be mad to start him

 

[Red rose]

Haha 😀
No bear hugs, ya get Slaps from Klopp, for a red card

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

These are ticking shite. We’ll smash them 6-0.

Yes. We've got this.

We need to start the same way we started against Bournemouth and we'll be fine.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

The whole world knows this. So does Nunez.

Call me mad, but i'd start him in the derby and i think he has what it takes mentally. These Uruguayan boys are as tough as nails - anyone who grew up in a slum and managed to fight his way to the top, is definitely no pushover. I'm pretty sure Suarez would have had a word with Nunez too.

So i say peel off the cotton wool, clothe him with gladiator gear and start him.

This

“If Darwin plays then he has to be ready for these things, definitely, that is clear, but when a player is talking to you a lot or is really physical, then he is not in his own game, and he (Nunez) has to use these kind of moments as well.
“If the other one is too busy wanting to distract him, you just have to use it from a football point of view.

Damn right. Time to be a man, Nunez.

I feel it in me bones. He's gonna pay back with goals.

 

[Hansern]

Nunez, Carvalho, Tsimikas start

 

[JurgenKlopp]

Melo has international clearance by all accounts so I expect he is in the squad. Was talk he wouldn't have it in time

 

[Frogfish]

Nunez, Carvalho, Tsimikas start

Excellent.

 

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

Nunez, Carvalho, Tsimikas start

Robbie Fowler - “I’m not too bothered by his red card. It doesn’t show a ‘weakness’. It’s not that he can be easily wound up. If he is, then he’d have never survived playing in Uruguay. He’ll be fine."

LFG !!! Come on !!!

Big call on the midfield!

Decent bench options as well
