If lallana hadnt injured himself on sat then he'd be in the above team. As he's now unavailable then I'd have to start Milner. But there's enough bodies there to put a fringe side out.
Then my team for the second leg would be:
Karius
Milner
Matip
VVD
Robbo
Can
Gini
Ox
Salah
Mane
Bobby
Keep them fresh. Keep them wrapped up.
After Chelsea's defeat today, we don't HAVE to get three points at goodison. We obviously all want too, but we have a list of priorities and the Derby falls short behind the European cup.
I would be raging if we play a full strength side in the Derby and one of their gobs***e players injured one of our key lads. Imagine some little pr**k like Rooney going through salah and putting him out for the rest of the season? It's just not worth the risk.
And call me paranoid but I actually think they would purposely go out their way to try and do something like that as well. Purposely interfere with our season. They are vile like that and Liverpools failure is evertons success.
Fat sam hates us and will want to do us over. It's their cup final. And any key player starts in the Derby might not go into tackles fully committed because they'll have one eye on the second leg. They'll probably be under orders not to from klopp. And that will only work to evertons advantage. Their players will sense it.
So I'd rather not risk anyone and I'd rather play 11 lads who are fighting for their places and have a point to prove. Let's see what they can do.
