Everton (A) - Wed 24th Apr 2024 (8:00pm)

[Reckoner]

No offence Trumo, but your introduction is becoming so very slightly repetitive.

[an tha]

They are absolute shite.

 

This is a side who recently went 13 league games without a win and their only wins either side of that run are against Burnley and Nottm Forest.

 

They are desperately poor....and taking out all the "it is the derby" out of it, we should be going there and beating them routinely.

 

We were dominant against the mancs but failed to put them away, these are much, much worse than the mancs, without anything like the quality to hurt us if we are as wasteful again.

 

Defeat to these would be an embarrassment.

 

 

 

 

[Tenfolder]

These will make it extremely tough via being a snide bunch of cunts throughout, so once again all i'll say is just win, dont care how good or bad it is, just get the 3 points and move on to the next game(which will also no doubt be tough).

[Bourbon]

It’ll be a very difficult game. 
 

We’ve not got the best recent record there and they know how to frustrate us, I often think people oversee the Origi Derby because of the goal but they comfortably held us to 0-0 for 95 minutes, it goes back to then.

 

They're pretty much safe now so the atmosphere will be far less anxious than recent weeks but I don’t think that’ll help us - he tried to push up high and press against Chelsea and got it woefully wrong, his side are rank and Chelsea both broke and played through them at will. 
 

That said they made the first chance from it and missed it - Liverpool simply can’t let them get the first goal or they’ll raise their levels, grow in belief and feed off our lost confidence, as well as the obligatory moral superiority, victim complex and Heysel. 
 

I haven’t been to that stinkhole for over 20 years and I’m going Wednesday - I hate them as much as they hate us.
 

I hope Klopp does something a little bit different, maybe a Salah off Jota with a solid base, no Arnold at right back etc but he’ll go his usual 4-3-3 with high press and look to dominate possession.

 

First thing’s first, don’t get beat but with us using our only possible run in token against Palace at home, it’s a must win. 
 

Head suspects 1-0, heart knows it should be 0-3, it’s entirely up to Liverpool. 

[TheHowieLama]

Their place will be bouncing, they have no worries of relegation and any result at all in this for them will "end" our season and cap off Klopp's reign.

 

It is a bad combo.

I think i know that place, pulled a bird in there once if it's the same one. Just the South side of the river at the loop isn't it? 

Yeah mate under the loop line a few blocks south of the river. Boss pub

It's a brilliant city for boozing. In fact maybe my favourite.

Can’t disagree. A lot like New York but more chilled, less busy. Brilliant place absolutely loved it.

New York is brilliant too, but I prefer drinking and eating in Chicago.

They have at least two a season.

Another vote here for Chicago being awesome.

I don't ask for much.

 

This is how it's gonna be. Build from the ground up.

 

After a much improved display and decent result at Fulham, we move onto the second of 4 away games in succession (the first being the trip to Bergamo) when we visit the 'Grand Old Lady'. Like a grand old lady, it's seen better days decades ago and now stinks of piss. Countless times this season, Everton have come up against an equally shit opponent, dragged them down to their level and beaten them through experience. They and Ashley Young got a massive helping hand against Forest, who were denied 3 penalties. Forest's cry-arsing statement afterwards will not have helped their cause, as PGMOL don't take kindly to being called out for their shitness. They of course think they are doing a great job, and are backed up by Howard Webb's book of bullshit excuses. It seems as though every time Everton are staring at the abyss, there will either be 3 sides shitter than them, or they'll come up against an opponent having a stinker. We are absolutely not the former, and we absolutely must not allow ourselves to be the latter.

 

Last season's fixture finished goalless, mainly thanks to the woodwork (the goalposts in this instance!) and the goalkeepers. For us, Darwin, Lucho and Mo all hit the frame of the goal, and for them it was Davies. The goalkeepers were kept busy, although the clearest opportunity fell to Everton debutant Maupay who somehow found Ali's arm when he had pretty much the entire goal to aim at. Bobby had a couple of efforts saved, and was still yet to score in a derby. Incredible really that for the best part of 8 years he was the central fulcrum of our attack yet never registered a goal in a derby. The blooshite were denied a late goal by VAR, who deemed Coady to be offside at the far post from a Maupay cross-shot. This was a far more clear-cut decision than the 'point of Sadio's elbow' decision by David Coote on VAR a couple of years earlier that denied Hendo a stoppage time derby winner (this was the game where Coote forgot that Virg had been recklessly crippled by T-Rex Arms). Fuck off Coady. We'd had a shit start to the season, especially away from home, so a point was better than nothing. Still shit though, considering Fat Frank was in the dugout for the blooshite.

 

Our last game at Fulham saw an improvement in our general play, and more composure in attacking situations. We must do everything we can to get this game under control. Don't do anything that lets Everton off the hook or gives them a head of steam. Hopefully Everton's good fortune was used up against Forest. We should have everyone that was available for Fulham available again for the derby. I want maximum motivation, concentration, attitude and application from first minute to last. No excuses. Dominate them, control them, finish them. 3 points please. Get it done!

What he said!

[Dave D]

Please win- but only if you promise to win the league. If you aren’t going to do that then whatever 

[LFC 6 Times]

Ali, Trent, Quansah, Virgil, Robbo, Endo, Jones, Mac, Mo, Jota, Gakpo.

[Dapower]

The only reason this game becomes tough it’s because we make it that way end of

Seems a bit harsh.

[Mathewbet1]

I think a frenetic game suits us more currently as we've struggled with slow sluggish play, the players wont have a choice in this one and if Everton have a proper go then all the better.

[manwiththestick]

Hopefully we don't make that Beto bum look like peak Drogba.

I doubt he'll be fit, he was knocked out cold on Sunday and had to be stretchered off. I'm sure the concussion protocols mean a player can't play again for a week if they're out cold.

He could fail that most weeks.

Let’s hope they don’t tell him he’s Oshimen and play him.
