Match chat.

Salah almost certainly going to be rested even if his injury turns out to be innocuous so I expect Salanke or perhaps even Ings to start. We should have enough to beat this lot, even with one eye on the 2nd leg next week.

0-2

 

[SALTIRE]

This might be their shot at finally winning a derby, and tbh I don't think we are too bothered about it. We should play Ings for this one, got his last PL goal against them so its a good time to open his account again. Should be easy enough for him.

 

[Pagnell]

We should be bothered. We need to keep the distance we currently have between us and Chelsea.

Yep top four isn't done I accept that, but we can afford one or two poor results, and Chelsea are in woeful form since the turn of the year. It would be superb to batter the bitter blue shite though; I just wouldn't be too downbeat on it if we did drop points.

Let me see, no Gomez, Klavan, Can, Salah, Matip, Lallana and we have a far more important game to worry about midweek. Not interested in this game in the slightest, as long as we don't pick up any more injuries for City, I'll take any result against Everton as a win this weekend.

I'm going with a big away win despite the missing players, Everton really have been poor this season and I wouldn't say Allardyce has done much to make them a more formidable outfit.
Everton 1 Liverpool 4

Klopp's been a right c*** with this lineup. Trying to fuck up my charge to fantasy football glory in my work league. Dickhead.

 

[Pagnell]

Shite first half.

 

[Bilo]

Well this is boring.

 

[Pickleman1967]

Well my prediction for a big away win looks wide of the mark! The concern for Liverpool is that although they have been the better team and created the best chances they haven't been able to convert them. Like the reverse fixture Everton are happy to defend and play on the break, not that they did much breaking at Anfield, Liverpool need an early goal to force them out and create a bit more space.

 

[Pagnell]

Bring Bobbie on.

 

[Pagnell]

We should be losing here. Fucking terrible over the last 15-20 minutes.

 

[Renegade]

Calvert Lewin. That is shocking.

 

[Pagnell]

Meh.

 

[Pickleman1967]

Jebus, pretty tepid as the average PL game never mind a derby. Still, as a Spurs fan I'm not complaining...

 

[Pagnell]

There was always going to be less desire and commitment than usual from us. Firstly, with Klopp's lineup which came as no surprise and secondly from the players who have a guaranteed starting spot on Tuesday for fear of picking up a knock from Everton players known for putting the boot in when things aren't going their way.

Still, I thought we'd win it but it's not the end of the world that we fell short as it puts us 11 points above Chelsea in 5th. Even with their two games in hand I wouldn't say they're guaranteed maximum points from them as they've been less than convincing of late.

Now, let's finish the job on Tuesday and look forward to that CL semi final.

 

[SALTIRE]

Didn't get up till late on today so missed this and by the sounds of things, glad I did. Still happy with a point all things considered.

It does show just how shite Everton are though when they spend 200 mill this season, yet can't string two passes together against a fatigued and second string Liverpool, at home.

Another Karius masterclass.

Just saw the highlights, he did look good again, though tbf to Pickford, that was one hell of a save off Solanke in the first half too.
