Liverpool v Everton - Pre Match Thread

I expect crouch to be benched again I hope he does start as I think he'd bag a goal but I think his time with us is as good as up.

Crouch was on sat the bench at the last derby match, with Voronin upfront front with Kuyt i think. Cant remember the impact Crouchy made when he came on in the second half, but i just get a feeling he will start tomorrow, and i really hope he does.

I really want him to start and have a great performance alongside Torres to show everyone why he is still a liverpool player and deserves to be.

OK off to th game tommorrow excuse the spelling been out on the lash be, in the Derry club tomorrow will any of you ladies and gentlemen be there be nice to put face to the names , if not all the best to ALL .

No mate, wont be in the Derry club, im gonna be around Bootle somewhere, cant wait for it to kick off tho. hope u had a good night on the lash

this line up looks good to me what about the rest of you?


                                Reina

  Riise             Aurelio           Finnan         Carragher     


     Pennant           Alonso     Gerrard         Babel


                           Torres      Crouch



                                                 

Do we even know for certain if Torres is fit to play today?

OK just about to leave for the game just wishing for a good ride up and a good game cmon the reds two one to us i think ,ynwa

                           Torres      Crouch



                                                 

I think we'd let in quite a few with this defensive line-up: I don't fance Riise at right-back, if we played him it'd be on the left. Finnan at centre-back? Don't think it'd happen unless we had a lot (I mean a LOT!) of injuries! He should be on the right... To continue, Carra wold never play left-back he'd be in the middle or on the right possibly... Finally, Aurelio should be on the left IMO.

I'm no good at formations, but here we go I'll have a try (don't laugh and sorry if it's already been put up):

                         Reina

Arbeloa       Carra        Sami         Aurelio

                Lucas        Alonso

Pennant           Gerrard                Babel

                       Torres

I think that we'd be well off with the most experienced two at the back, plus Hyppia has had a couple of matches off so I'd bring him back for this one as it's our most important match of the season so far IMO. We need to consolidate that fourth spot, and with the heavy schedule coming up and our tough run-in, I think we are going to need that 5 point cushion. I can't see an injury-weakened Everton getting much penetration through that defense, even without Mascherano in front of them.

Going forward we'll have lots of pace from Pennant and creativity from Babel. I think that we should have plenty of success, we'll pull them all over the park with this formation, tire them out, and crucify them in the last 20 minutes. I'm going for a 4-1 victory for the Reds, I reckon they might just get one since it's derby day!

where you travelling from Andy? or you just allowing plenty of Ale time
 

Well Derby day again!!  I'll punt for 3-1, and for Babel to shine - hope crouchy gets a start though.

Just watching Liverpool v Everton 1986. We're beating them 3-1!! I reckon it's a sign. 

So who else is pumped up to bits for this today? I hate these few hours leading up to a derby.

Reckon we'll do the biz today though, and glad to see you've finally put your prediction in, the same as me

I'm as cool as ice until the game kicks off.

Hope you're right mate.  I'll go for 4 - 1 instead.  Torres scoring all 4 anyone?  Torres scored one, Torres scored two, Torres scored three & Torres scored four, na na na... :

Good stuff Smiggs and Court. I was surprised how long it took for someone to reply to that last post!!! It's derby day ffs!!!!!

  Love it Court!! Let's hope he does it again and gets sent off again.

I can see us winning comfortably. No one from Liverpool sent off, Everton get 2 players sent off. And Torres and Babel scoring for us.

You heard it hear first. 

I can't wait for this.

I can't wait for this.

Is it me or has time actually stopped?
