Liverpool FC vs Everton FC

[Pureblood]

I can't see a match thread.  I guess we have a problem at right back, will Kelly be given the nod or will Sakho be fit enabling Toure to move across?   Is Flanagan back soon or will it be Cissokho again?  

[Rotpeter]

Flanagan came on yesterday!

[etho]

Flanagan will be right back you would think, came off the bench Saturday. Hope Sakho starts, and that we play a midfield three. Sturridge coming off the bench.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I hope we cunt them in the flange.

[Pureblood]

I missed the game.  I had cricket nets.

You should try the ailments thread on the GF.

[Pureblood]

Haha.

Sakho is meant to have had a flare up of his hamstring in training and is probably out. James Pearce of the echo tweeted that. He also said Allen was touch and go

I d rather cissokho at left back than toure at right back. flanagan should start instead of kelly with rest of back 4 from Saturday. im no fan of cissokho but I hate centre backs playing full back

[Brigant Moloch]

I'm extremely fucking worried about our defense, Lukaku will have a field day vs Kolo & Skrtel, I hope Sakho will play, our only defender capable of dealing with him. Our fullbacks are extremely poor at everything, we need to score a lot becuse they certainly will I'm afraid, thank fuck for Sturidge and Suarez.

Really worried about this. I think our best chance of a win rests with Joe Allen's fitness, if he's ok I fancy us. If not & we go with a 2 man mid we will get bummed massively. If Allen is out, I'd prefer us to go with 5 at the back.

wow. fortress anfield.

[spider-neil]

Allen is absolutely vital. If he is out then I would bring in Alberto and I think we will work back more than Coutinho.

[Jairzinho]

Not really the game for Alberto or Coutinho, unfortunately. I'm guessing one of them probably has to play.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I'm hoping, to all Gods, that Allen and Sakho are fit. I'm also hoping we don't continue just to lump the ball up from the keeper to the attack. That'd be suicide.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

I think a lot will depend on the fitness of Allen and Barkley.

 

If Allen doesn't make it and Barkley does we could be in trouble.

 

Really need Mig to have a solid game too.

[Ne Moe Imya]

For me this is the season, pretty much.

 

Win it and I think our odds of fourth improve to 75% or so.  Lose it and it's more likely we'll end up outside the top four than in.

 

Result is everything.  Don't care about our performance, we just need to get the bounces or the referee's decisions or whatever we need to get in order to take the three points.  Both teams have a horrific injury list, so it will be determined by how our makeshift defense stacks up to their makeshift defense.

Is it wrong to consider backing Everton at 7/2 as an emotional hedge bet? I think they are generous odds considering, but I would feel dirty doing it.

[spider-neil]

Allen hasn't been ruled out so I'm still hoping he makes it.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Fucking surrender monkeys! You do realise we've got Suarez and Sturridge up front?

Negged.

Haha.

 

How much would you have to win to break even emotionally?

[Kevin D]

Fucking surrender monkeys! You do realise we've got Suarez and Sturridge up front?

Agreed, people are being far too negative. I genuinely believe that a congenital heart defect will fell the entire Everton first team, hours before the game, and we'll go into win.

[spider-neil]

The talk of dropping/resting Sturridge is IN-FUCKING-SANE!

 

Who are you dropping him for? Coutinho? Sterling?

[Etienne77]

If Sakho and Allen make it then

 

                   Mignolet

 

      Kelly      Skrtl    Sakho     Flanagan

   

           Henderson   Gerrard    Allen

 

           Stirling   Sturridge   Suarez

 

Well good enough to beat the Blue shite.
