Liverpool FC vs Everton - Tuesday March 13th KO 8:00pm

Obviously a much improved performance needed on Tuesday, time the side bounced back, what better way to do it in a derby game. I would like to see Shelvey given a start, looked so promising when he came back off loan from Blackpool. Main problem as ever need someone to put the ball in the back of the net.

Reina

Kelly   Skrtel   Coates   Enrique

Spearing
Gerrard     Henderson

Suarez                      Downing
Carroll

We need a positive result in this match. Carroll and Downing have been looking better by the match lately, so them not starting yesterday was pretty shocking to me, hopefully they'll make the teamsheet because Carroll provides a sorely missed focal point for our attack and Downing (even though he hasn't showed it much) is capable of more than Maxi and Kuyt at this point.

3-1 to the REDS, we need to put right a few wrongs and who better to take it out on but the Bitters !

Good job they like to say that 'form goes out the window' for the derby.

I think we will win 5-0.

2 smashed in penalties and 3 shots that go in off the crossbar.

Charlie Adam with 2 goals and Downing with a hat-trick.

 

Reading the posts for the Blunderland game, sounds like we were terrible. Didn't see the match or any highlights yet and at this stage am thinking this is not a bad thing. Still, our problem this season hasn't been under-performing in the big games, it's keeping things going in the less prestigious ones. Our home form has been piss poor, but it HAS GOT to end at some stage and why not Tues   3-1 to de Reds!!!!!!! SG and Suarez chippin in with a couple and a-n-other poppin in a 3rd (maybe Skyrtel     Love seeing the players line up, Red on Blue. CAN'T WAIT !!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Adam, I'd settle for him making one clean tackle.

All the bitters crowing in work today, time for a put down

After a shocking performance against Sunderland, I'm hoping the lads come out and put a performance on against Everton.

I hope Johnson comes back so we can get the stability back in the defence (Kelly is good but Johnson is still our best left back IMO). I'd also expect Gerrard, Downing and Carroll to start.

4-4-2

Think this will be a tough game as Everton have picked up some good results lately, but I think we'll win 3-1 with Gerrard, Suarez and Carroll getting the goals!

YNWA!

Just get to stuck into the bluenose sh*te straight from the off.

Forget about the last couple of league games and let's show the bitter bas**rds why we're still the Pride Of Merseyside.

2-0

We can't afford to lose this now.

Come on u reds, thrash them.

YNWA

Need a big performance.

Line up NEEDS to be:

Reina

Kelly
Skrtel
Carragher
Enrique

Spearing

Downing
Gerrard
Kuyt

Carroll
Suarez

We need to have fire in our belly's for this. Passion and the level of performance that saw us outplay Arsenal will see an end to the Blueshite (with just a modicum of good finishing, of course).

We've proven time and time again that we've no reason to fear any team much less this lot. If it's even that only Stevie brings his sooting boots to the game, we will tank them... but nothing just happens; the lads need to bust a gut for us here.

'Mon the Reds.

I think we will win this, I think we will be bang up for it and they will get the frustrations we have had in recent weeks..

For some reason I have a very calm thought about this, think we will win this with relative ease.

And I know how many times we have said this recently but look at the two after this.. QPR and Wigan..

I'd go with..


                Pepe
Johnson Skrtel Carra Enrique

               Spearing

    Gerrard        Henderson

Suarez                  Downing

              Carroll

I think we should go with this formation from here on in myself, try Luis coming off the wide positions, take the burden off him being through the middle, he can rotate with Stewart on the other side and have a bit of a free role, even dropping into the hole and letting Stevie push wide right.. It's more fluid.



Come on reds..

Finishing well will be vital, in this must win game, defeat is unthinkable.

If Kenny doesn't start Carroll in this game then the Geordie may as well pack his bags now. I don't rate Carroll as being any better than Bendtner but if I paid £35m for him I'd at least give him 9-10 starts in a row to see can he score goals or not. Starting him in the Cup final and then dropping him for the next two games is pointless stuff.

If the boys aren't fired up for a game of this magnitude .. i don't know what will fire them up.

The sight of Sterling, Suso and Eccleston arriving to training to take there place.

Spearing should play.  Hopefully Gerrard will be fit to start as well.

Adam doesn't deserve to play - if we are going for a central midfield threesome I'd be happy with either Henderson or Shelvey in there - you can't play Henderson on the wing.

Wings are a problem - it appears Maxi has been frozen out - Bellamy and Kuyt are nowhere near as effective when they start as opposed to coming on as subs.

It's exceptionally hard to pick a team at the minute as the fittest players seem to be in the worst form, and our better players seem to be some of the old guard who we know are better used as impact subs.

I'd probably start with a team that enables us to be able to bring Kuyt, Bellamy and Maxi on rather than start with them.

Would love to see shelvey involved but highly doubt it. We simply have to win this game and i dont care how. My head says draw but my heart is screaming liverpool. I think wel no in the first twenty mins if itl be our night or not

                  Kuyt

I think we need to be looking toward the future, so Coates ahead of Carra for me even though he looked very shaky against Sunderland.  If we didn't have the NexGen game coming up then I'd like to see Sterling and Suso on the bench, but that won't happen this game.  I'd like to see Shelvey get a 20-30 minute run out to help with his development if possible. 

F**k how well they're playing and how sh*t we're playing because it's the Merseyside Derby and current form stands for jack-sh*t.

This all day.

Its a massive game lets hope the starting XI realise this and we smash them back over the park.

Johnson                                                    Downing

                    Suarez           Carroll

Suarez can't play as a lone forward. Carroll, hopefully takes a couple of men with him when he's in the box so Suarez has more space.

Johnson on the wing ... probably won't happen but if he were to be at RB, have Maxi or Kuyt on I guess.
