Match thread(h) Everton

[an tha]

We're going to dig deep and beat them. I liked the team posted on the previous page:

 

Mignolet

Clyne Matip Lovren Milner

Can Wijnaldum

Mane Firmino Coutinho

Origi

 

Still lots of question marks, but it's the best we can do.

 

Will the boys from Brazil be dead on their feet after the travel?

Will Origi perk up a bit? Hopefully he remembers his injury against Everton and it prompts him to get angry. Everton wouldn't like him when he gets angry....

 

OK, I'm going into The Hulk monologue now. Time to sign off.

 

Edit: if Henderson is fit again he plays. All of a sudden it looks a little better.

is it realistic to expect a change of formation when a lot of the players have been away so not been able to work on it...?

 

my guess is he'll stick to 4-3-3 and will stick Origi in front 3 and drop Coutinho back or worse Lucas will start in midfield - hope I am wrong on that one

[Vincent Vega]

"Altrincham fan" Anthony Taylor from Wythenshawe is the ref. Let's hope he's recovered from that bender he went on for Kevin Friend's stag do, he gave Burnley a pen for a handball by their own player in his last outing.

[G Richards]

Fair do, same formation 4-3-3, with Coutinho in the three alongside Wijnaldum and Can, and Origi alongside Mane and Firmino.

 

The two main points with the six players being: I hope our boys from Brazil aren't dead on their feet, as the derby is not the game to coast for a bit while you wake up. And second, Origi has the tools, but he has been far too lackadaisical for most of this season, and if he plays we need him to be on it!

Can only imagine a group of Premier League referees on a stag. Odds on they shaved off the wrong person's eyebrows.

Liverpool v Everton is known as the ‘Friendly Derby’, yet someone always seems to be sent off,” writes Paul Jeffreys. “Has any Premier League fixture had more red cards?”

 

It’s harder to find red-card data going back to 1888, so we don’t know what is the dirtiest top-flight fixture of all time but our friends at Opta have confirmed that the Merseyside derby is, by quite a distance, the Premier League match with the most red cards.

 

Which football manager has been sacked by one club the most times? | The Knowledge

To date there have been 21 red cards in 49 Premier League derbies. Three of these came in one game in September 1999, when Franny Jeffers and Sander Westerveld threw hands and Steven Gerrard was a couple of days late on Kevin Campbell. Gerrard and Phil Neville have each been sent off twice.

 

In second place on the list – unsurprisingly, given its nature – is Liverpool v Manchester United. There have been 16 red cards in that fixture, a couple of them to somebody other than Nemanja Vidic.

 

The full list of shame is:

 

21 Everton v Liverpool

16 Liverpool v Manchester United

15 Everton v Newcastle United

14 Liverpool v Newcastle United

13 Chelsea v Everton, Aston Villa v Newcastle United

12 Arsenal v Liverpool, Arsenal v Chelsea

[Boss]

Anthony Taylor, for fucks sake the fix is in already. That manc will be praying we bring down one of their players in the box. 

[Bjornebye]

Sorry which manager has been sacked by more than one club the most times ?

[Kevin D]

First game after an international + being on sky + early kick off?

 

I've seen this one, before.

[ZonkoVille77]

We're fuckin shite.

[jimmycase]

Yeah, that's why were fucking 4th.

Getting my bet on for a red card and a penalty now.

Getting my bet on for a red card and a penalty now. 

 

Make it an up and down double with Lucas first goal scorer.

[Sputnik1]

Make it an up and down double with Lucas first goal scorer.

 

 

 

A what, when, how now?

[jonnyp]

A what, when, how now?

 

Fill out your slip like this.

 

One pound (or whatever) there will be a red card

 

    X                X                  X 

 

One pound (or whatever) on Lucas first goal scorer

 

 

One pound (or whatever) double

 

If they come in, an extra one pound (or whatever) will go from one bet to the other, doubling your stake on each individual bet. Then you got the double itself to come.

 

Quids in on those two dead certs.

 

Nod as good as a wink and all that!

[Chip Butty]

The big issue here that no one has addressed is - is where to go for a pint before the game? 

The Valley is open at 10 and Frosts will be earlier, where else, quegs? 

[jimmycase]

The Cabbage on Breck Road.

[Chip Butty]

Is that a 10 O'clock opening? 

[stringvest]

We'll win this.  They'll shit the bed, and we'll win quite easily.  

[an tha]

The belmont...always!

[Josef Svejk]

Yeah, that's why were fucking 4th.

 

Yep. While the other team without European distractions is running away with the league. And we've achieved nothing in the domestic cups.

 

Sorry to break it to you, but we're shit and this season has sucked.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

We have to cunt them in the bastard.

 

Hard.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I can't believe I'm away for this one. I'm on a union seminar in Devon.

 

Fucking Devon!

 

Last time I was away on a conference for an Anfield Derby was in 1999. If everything goes horribly tits up it's probably my fault.
