Pre Match: Everton (A)

[Fabio]

Not looking forward to this

They would LOVE to derail us

 

[gene hughes]

The only way they can beat us is by playing better than us or being really really lucky. That’s why it happens so rarely these days.

They don't have to beat us though. They just need a draw to stop us going top again.

Every bitter twat in the city will have been telling the players that they just need to take points of us to make their season a success.

They don't have the players (I think) who can sit back & park the bus, plus the atmosphere will be that ferocious that they'll struggle not to attack, which is the good news. Also, if we do manage to get an early goal, or even have some great chances early on, that crowd will turn, they love slagging their own players off nearly as much as they do slagging ours off.

Big thing today is if they attack us we will rip them to pieces when we counter. They are in a tricky predicament

But how? I was way more worried about Utd giving their all to make sure we dropped points because they have more of a chance of doing so with their squad.

Me neither.

 

[Woland]

I think we're going to mong them off the park and Silva will get sacked

That would be some achievement, getting the Utd & the Toffees manager sacked in one season.

 

[Modo]

So looking forward to this! Everton are shit and needs to be put in their place...again

If we can bum Watford 5-0 we should comfortably do this brittle lot in the same week.

1-2!

Using logic, Watford beat Cardiff 5-0 then played us & got beat 5-0.

Everton beat Cardiff 3-0 & now play us...

This might be called off weather is horrendous


Around half time.. if we get that far, teams will be playing on a swimming pool

 

[Halmeister]

Is it that bad? Just a bit of rain by me.

 

[Fabio]

Is it that bad? Just a bit of rain by me.

It's fine

Fucking drizzle and he's chatting like it's hurricane bertha

 

[FoxForceFive]

It's a bit of rain jono. Chill the fuck out.

 

[6TimesaRed]

Not here...

Horrendous over on the Wirral .

 

[Halmeister]

Well that's the fucking depths of hell, isn't it?

We're talking about Liverpool

 

[FoxForceFive]

Good job the match is on this side of the water then! Keep your shitty weather to yourself!

 

[Fabio]

Not here...

Horrendous over on the Wirral .

Yes, but what's the weather like?

 

[tombrown]

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Mane, Salah, Origi.
Subs: Mignolet, Milner, Keita, Firmino, Sturridge, Lallana, Shaqiri.

 

[the count]

Hendo in for Milner

 

[Bradley]

I like that team. Good options off the bench too.

 

[Squiggles]

Here we go

 

[Oncy]

Loving Gomes and Richarlison being on the bench.

 

[Fabio]

Loving Gomes and Richarlison being on the bench.

Haven't both of them been shite recently?

I'm happier lookman isn't on the bench

 

[Frogfish]

We don't have a defender on our bench !

 

[FoxForceFive]

We don't have a defender on our bench !

We don't, but Hendo has been training to play at CB (& has trained there for that in the past apparently too), Fabinho can play at CB or RB, & Milner has played both full back roles, so we're not completely without options should we need it.

That said, it's a gamble, that's for sure.

 

[tombrown]

Who needs defenders against these shite?

 

[Shay_K]

We don't have a defender on our bench !

Defesive options limited to Milner and Fab

 

[FoxForceFive]

That atmosphere is everything I thought it'd be. Sounds vociferous ten minutes before kick off.
