Pre Match: The 213th Merseyside Derby

Would like to see Pacheco and Babel introduced later on as the game could well open up with it's frenetic pace but would go with from the off
                                     Reina
                          Darby    Carragher  Sotis  Insua
                           Rodriguez   Masch Gerrard Reira   
                                                Aquilani
                                        Kuyt
Fancy Aquilani to break his duck                     
                                                       
                           

Is it just me or does it feel like theres been no real build up to this game compared with recent ones?

Jesus Joey never even dawned on me we were only on page 4 here  Merseyside derby 4 pages? Tell ye what mate lose and we will see 40 pages

i feel same but once i wake up in the morning i should feel the excitement

I'm F***ing pumped for this one!

Can't wait!

Should be a good game, we have probably got more to prove than them this season and the games are always a fast paced and passionate.  Who wants a wager on the first booking to be within 20 mins?

There was a little bit this morning with Aldo and someone from the Everton side. Didn't hear much of it though.

I think sky have been going on about John Terry for most of today.

Everton 0-2 Liverpool
FA Premier League 29 November 2009 @ 1.30pm
Goodison Park

Mascherano goal




Kuyt goal

Not sure I should say this, but I'm going to anyway. I think Rafa and the lads have turned a corner in recent weeks, the defence has been shored and we are starting to look like the side of last season. What I'm trying to say is, that despite our sh*te start to the season, I am now expecting us to go out and win games, and I haven't felt like that for a while, more like hoping we can win. And that is a good thing. Come on Redmen, do us proud again and let's get another double in the bag.

I'll drink to that, and I think your have a valid point we all know we ain't gonna win anything this season but we are improving, just a bit late really.

Will never forget Masch's celebrations after that 1st goal and Dirk's slide after scoring the 2nd and then getting up just b4 he slammed into the advertising. Quality thanks for the reminder JD.

Come on you Reds.

Gerrard, Aquilani, Lucas, Mascherano.

Surely all aren't going to start?

Going to be interesting to see who's sacrificed.

^^

Hope they do though. But have a horrible feeling Babel will start

7 minutes till countdown time.

And there it is, the countdown to kickoff!

Got a great day tomorrow. Get up, watch the Royal Rumble that I recorded on Sunday, watch this derby, watch Barrow v Luton!

It'll be interesting to see what team Rafa puts out.  I'd be inclined to play Gerrard on the right with Aquilani behind Kuyt but I can't see Stevie being too happy about that, especially in the derby.  Anyway I'm quietly confident no matter what team is out.  Our second double of the season tomorrow lads.

C'mon boysssssssssssssssssssss ss

Sorry got a bit excited

                                              Reina

Carra             Kyrigokos                       Skritel           Insua


                 Lucas                    Mascha


                       Gerrard

Babel/Kuyt                              Riera

                 Babel/Kuyt

I would really like to see Aquallani start but in think the first 20 mins will be to intense for him. Same as Maxi he'll be a great sub to bring on. Not the biggest fan of Babel but he's ours for now and i think this game is crying out for the stronger players and he's got bags of it, hopefully his head will be a bit clearer and he can bag us a goal, and if he does play sh*te he can always be taken off.

Babel/Kuyt                              Riera

                 Babel/Kuyt

We're leaving Insua a bit exposed on that left side mate.
