Pre-Match: Everton v Liverpool; EPL, Sat 3rd Sept. 12:30 pm.

Great chance to keep the momentum going.  Not sure if we will see rotation, but of course Henderson is out. given the nature of the game, I expect we will see Milner to start.

Need a better perfomance maybe than against Newcastle, take our chances to make it three wins in a row against winless Everton.

NB: Team no longer available

I know that I am crazy but I always felt that Firmino should play as an attacking midfielder.

I won't happen but that is my line up.

Melo, Milner and Carvalho to enter in second half.

IMO Milner should replace Hendo cause he provide stability in the middle with supporting role to Fabinho. Nunez must start in this fixture , especially derby match . Hope Darwin had learn his lesson and keep his head cool .💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Games coming thick and fast now so really need some guys returning ASAP.  Would imagine same team with Milner for Hendo and some rotation V Napoli

Nunez has to play be meeds to keep his cool. No doubt Milner will start hope we play positivly but i worry about that midfield

Nunez has to play be meeds to keep his cool. No doubt Milner will start hope we play positivly but i worry about that midfield

I doubt Klopp will start Nunez instead of
Bobby. He has been scoring goals in the last few games and was among the top performers. Plus after Nunez last “performance” a derby game will add an extra challenge for the lad to keep his cool. If he plays Everton will target him 100%. 

Wont be same team as Hendo is now out with Hammy.

Probably start Milner instead.

But at least the bench will be much much stronger.

That front 4 will happen at some point.

That front 4 will happen at some point.

I really hope it is because if we go for them, we will score for sure.

Largely expect it will be the same as last time out, alterations being Kostas for Robbo and Milner/Carvalho for Hendo.

I really hope it is because if we go for them, we will score for sure.

I think any front 3 would love bobby working his magic behind them.

Bobby is in a bit of form but would three games in a week be too much for him?

You don’t feel fatigue when you’re on form. You tend to get heavy legged when all you do goes wrong 👍

                 Alisson
Trent - Gomez - Virgil - Robbo
          Fabinho - Milner
     Elliott - Carvalho - Diaz
                  Salah

Dunno if I’d start Nunez in this one for his first game back, high emotions and they’ll try and get under his skin, so I’d bring him on to kill the game off after 60 in place of one of the young lads, or half time if it’s not working… also Salah up front gives him chance to get a goal or two against this sh*te and kick on.

Maybe Arthur for Milner at some point too so we can get a small glimpse of what he has.

Bobby is in a bit of form but would three games in a week be too much for him?

Yeah this is the reason I left him out, don’t want to force it and him to burn out while in good form.

It would be a welcome change to not concede the first (any) goal...We should wipe the floor with this Everton...They are as poor as I have ever seen them.

3 goals and assists in two game Jürgen won't drop Bobby never drop a player in form. Nunez on the Bench and maybe Arthur to start.
Trent must have got a wake up call to be hauled off for Milner but we are still in a different league to the Blueshite and a comfortable win to look forward

Expect the hammer throwers to be out in force tomorrow, I just hope we can come away with 3 points and no more injuries.

Can’t drop Bobby when Bobby is on it, he’s our glue, he’s the link man, looks like Hendo is out so Milner in, Arthur won’t be risked too early but could see the bench, Nunez off the bench for me, should never change a winning side, with the exception of Hendo obviously,

Hate this f***in mob, hate them, they don’t belong in this league, it’s 28 years since this f***in lot bought silver polish, have spent millions more than us trying to catch up, and gotten absolutely no f***in where, have had a succession of manager’s of which two had won major honours at the highest level but yet still couldn’t lift this lifeless soulless classless hapless trophyless f***in mess of a club any higher than 8th, 30 years and one f***in trophy, yet they say their full of ambition 😂😂😂😂😂😂, are the taking the Piss ?
Big Club…..My Arse !!!

                        Allison
          Trent   Gomez  Virgil   Robbo
              Elliot  Fabinho  Milner
              Salah   Bobby   Diaz

    Bench; Adrian Tsimikas Matip, Jones, Arthur, Carvalho, Nunez, Bacjetic, Dalglish

A sticky start let’s just say to our campaign, not ideal by any stretch but signs are encouraging that a corner has been turned, the Nine Nil and the last gasp winner V Toon, but not just those results, it’s more the manner in which we won, how we performed with us being under strength, three shining lights for me have been Bobby, Harv & Carv, the energy they bring has been absolutely wonderful to watch, it will be shame to break them up, but eventually that will happen once Thiago is fully fit, but I don’t think we need to worry about the future,

I expect the same starting X1 aside from Hendo, but I certainly won’t be surprised  if Nunez comes straight back in, however we are going into the lions den and they will wind him up no end, hoping he kicks off again (no pun intended), i would hold him back until their fire is almost out probably around the hour, then release the beast,

Can’t see anything other than yet another win over Fat Frank’s Sh*t Kickers, they’ll be up for it no doubt that, it’s the f***in derby, wouldn’t expect anything else, however the gulf in class is immeasurable and even with us being under strength will f**k them over and hammer another nail in their premiership coffin !!!


0-3 Mighy Redmen

Not a fan of that. Not enough protection I'm afraid. Fabinho is not in good form.

                              Alisson

Trent.      Gomez.              Virg.              Robbo

                  Fabinho.         Milner
                                Elliott

        Salah.             Bobby.             Diaz

I'm toying with leaving Bob on the bench for this one ... 3 games in a week? But I'm sure his confidence is on the up so I've picked him. And nunez shouldn't just walk back in anyway after costing us with that moment of madness. Hope he has learned.

Also thought of swapping Harvey for Fabio for the same reason ... 3 starts in a week. The confidence of both will be high. I wouldn't start both though. It will be brutal and we need as much experience as we can. Need out big players to stand up in this one.

Gk, Philips, Tsimikas, Jones, Fabio, Nunez and possibly Melo on the bench. Plus whoever is fit.

Need to be on it ... start fast and take it from there.

NB: Team no longer available

I think at this point Carvalho has earned himself a start.
Darwin to come on in the 2nd half vs tired legs.

Jota came through training and is available tomorrow. Jürgen happy with 5 strikers to choose from.  Cant see Mo, Diaz or Bobby being dropped so interesting to see how we line up

So looks like no Arthur tomorrow and Jota hopefully on bench . Thiago probably back for Wolves the rest a good few weeks away

Can't see Klopp going with Elliott and Carvalho in the middle.  Lot of pressure on Fabinho.

More than likely Milner is going to be involved tomorrow.

Good news about Jota though with him not having a proper preseason I wonder if it will be a few weeks until he starts a game. Either way good option to have off the bench.

I really hope we score first and not get drawn into scrappy game where we have to deal with their antics a whole lot.

That's my opinion too. Game will be too emotionally charged to have both Harvey and Fabio start the game.

I know and you're right but we need to be more creative than Milner.

I'm not fan of Firmino but I would play him from the start since he's on fire at the moment.

Milner won't be in there to be creative. He's in there for his experience and know how. The creativity needs to come from the full backs, Elliott and the forwards plus the firepower on the bench.

I'd have fab and milly sitting in front. There job is simply to protect and cover.

Iz'ee going throw Nunez in from the off or does he now have to consider Nunez's temperament. Looks like it's back to square 1 with Nunez.

Everton have been lame to say the least but it's the Derby. Back in the day it was a local barney with numerous players local to the City, now it's obviously cosmo and it might not mean as much to the individual players.

Still Frank can be relied on to start a ruck on the touchline.

That is why we miss Thiago, because he is both protection and creative but he is made out of glass.

But yes, Milner will 90% certain play. We need his experience for the derby.

I don't think this is crazy at all against 18 other opponents in the Premier League. But Everton so full of dirty play, and they are consistently allowed to get away with it against us. So I think we will see Milner at the start.

But Bobby playing directly behind Nunez is a good shout for the rest of the season.

I'm worried about our full backs. They have been giving the ball away and have been failing to find out own players, their targets. The number of misplaced passes this season has been obviously telling.

In all honesty will be shocked if Milly dosent start just because Klopp knows them dirt bags across the park will come out and try and kick us off the park again ,
We know what we’re going to get from them and it’s sure not pretty football, we don’t have a Carra , Stevie , or a Suarez to meet it head on , so that onus falls on James I believe ,
Just hope our young uns don’t get a shoeing off them tw*ts.

We simply cant lose to this lot we must win at all costs having been beaten by UTD losing to them is not an option. I guess Milner does make sense as he will leave his mark on them.starting line up will be interesting

I'd happily win 1-0 with 4 of our players getting sent off for the foulest behaviour imaginable.

Likely be same again but with Milly in for Hendo. Nunez will be held back. Gordon is their flavour of the month, I mean good to see a local lad coming through, he's pacy, but he's still a work in progress. Diaz & Mo will score.

0-2.

Can really only see Milner coming in for Hendo


But it would be the sort of thing Klopp would do and put in Nunez in

I'd happily win 1-0 with 4 of our players getting sent off for the foulest behaviour imaginable.

hopefully all enacted out on Pickford

If we thought Newcastle wasted time and slowed the game down then wait for what Everton do.
They are like a Diego simeone wannabe club.

I think their will be lots of goals though.
A classic maybe.

This will be an awful game Everton will make sure of it, just hope we rise above it and take the fuckers to the cleaners

Think I'd unleash the NUNEZ!!

He's got to be fired up and this game could be fire for him! Let him grab a hat trick like Haaland.

I hold hope Everton will attempt to play the sport of football since it's at their ground and they are in dire need of points. We'll see.

This will be an awful game Everton will make sure of it, just hope we rise above it and take the fuckers to the cleaners

They will go down market..as far as Paddy's Market..Lampard knows he can't risk a pure football game. He will chance his arm with new signing Maupay, with Gordon, and Awobi being the front 3.

Did good business getting Connor Coady...daft by Wolves letting him go on loan.

I would play Bobby tomorrow, the form he is showing. I am sure he will be buzzing and fatigue will go out of the window. hope Mo can finally score, anyhow, going for a 2  0 win for the Reds !

Think it will be the same team, the only possible exception being Milner for Hendo. Nunez will feature at some point but I think with Bobby in good form, and when you've had a red like that, you should have to earn your way back. Would you trust Nunez not to front up and deck a few of them? Have him lurking in the tunnel 

I think a lot on here would agree Robbo and Trent have not been pulling up trees at the moment so my take on tomorrow's game is this..Play Harvey with Fab as a two restricting the full backs from there usual. Play Carvalho just behind Salah and Diaz..Everton won't know what hit em..

Early kick off means one thing. We either sit back and relax for the rest of the weekend, or it’s going to be miserable.

I hate the 12:30 Saturday games. Well, when we don’t win anyway.

Them toe rags will do everything they can to slow the game down just like they did last season with t-rex arms throwing himself all over the ball for as long as he possibly can. I just hope the ref is strong and aware of their antics.

I hope Nunez doesn't play as they will be sure to wind him up and we don't want to lose him again for another 3 games, depending on how the game goes though, maybe get him on for the last 20 mins or so to give him a run out, don't think we'll see Arthur though, maybe on the bench.

As otheers have said. Milly for Hendo, keep Bobby up front as he's buzzing, Trent and Robbo will be on fire tomorrow, they'll run the show.

Harvey and Fabio both deserve a place but I don't trust them bitters not to delibrately go out and hack them down, but hopefully they'll be too quick for them.

Jürgen will know what he's doing and trust him to get this one in the bag, 3 points and mersey pride for a few months.

Come on you mighty REDS !!! Lets do this.

Nice look at today's match and the importance of our press.

For me, the best bit is here: "For Klopp’s Liverpool in particular this is an existential question. It is easy to forget that Liverpool’s recent run didn’t have to happen, that it is an engineered, coach-driven thing. It is rare to find an elite team in any sport where success is built to such an extent on an emotional state, in inducing feelings in an opponent, the crowd, your own players."

Really can't have all this stuff about protecting Nunez from himself. He's a professional. The only consideration for not starting him V Everton is Bobby's form and that Nunez might not be up to match speed. We shouldn't, nor will we, keep Nunez off the team sheet because he might lose his temper. If he's picked, he'll perform to the best of his ability and won't go round attacking other players.

Dead right Cas - half expecting Elliott and Carvalho to be on the end of some leg breaking tackle.

If that did happen the usual PR guff / apologists would come out in defence of the perpetrator 'Oh he's not that kind of player'...'the lad is totally cut up in the dressing room' etc etc

As many said above it's really great having Diogo back.
I think it will be Milly alongside Fab and Harvey in midfield.
Also more likely Firmino start and Darwin on the bench.
And the last one I'm desperated to see what the young Ramsey can do so if he is fit hopefully JK put him in this game squad.
1-3 Liverpool, COYR

Early kick off means one thing. We either sit back and relax for the rest of the weekend, or it’s going to be miserable.

I hate the 12:30 Saturday games. Well, when we don’t win anyway.

Try getting your ass out the bed at 6am so that you can be at the bar by 730 I'm the am. Really sucks when we don't win

I don't think this is crazy at all against 18 other opponents in the Premier League. But Everton so full of dirty play, and they are consistently allowed to get away with it against us. So I think we will see Milner at the start.

But Bobby playing directly behind Nunez is a good shout for the rest of the season.

Firmino loves to drop so he won't be that out of position or place.

Klopp will play it safe and plays Milner.

Try to keep cool and win, sticking to my prediction 2  0 for Klopp's red army. Hoping it's a great day out for our fans.

Just win and try not to give me a heart attack. I'd take a 1-0 with one shot on target to their none

Visiting the Sh*t kickers fraternity certainly won’t be easy, never is, and there will be moments where you’ll want to head butt the TV, I’ve pre-warned my neighbours of the inevitable sh*t storm heading their way, advised them to f**k the kids off for the day and to lock up all their dogs and grannies,

Utopia for us is battering these Cnuts tae F**k, like another 5niller, but I really don’t see that happening this time around, I fancy it to be quite a tight game with them useless trophy less f**k pig’s up to their usual shithousery, we will need a strong Ref,do they exist ? but I’m expecting someone like Oliver or some other Snowflake,


We left it late V Toon but that wasn’t our doing so I’m wondering if Fat Frank took note and reverts to similar shithousery, cos that’s their way isn’t it, they know we’re eon’s ahead of them and they have next to no chance of beating us, they know it, we know it, it’s got a certain degree of inevitability about it so their only way to gain a advantage is to apply their usual antics, bring it on Classless Cnuts, we’re expecting you,

Same X1 as last two games, aside from Hendo of course, Milner in for him cos we will need some steel next to Fabinho, wee Harvey to continue his rise to world class status and id have him sat in behind Bobby Mo & Luis, to help orchestrate attack’s and linking up play, he will have free roam all across the pitch east to west  sat in front of Jimmy & Fab and do most of Bobby’s running, leaving Bobby to do what Bobby does best,

We have the marauding Diaz mesmerising Blueshite with his hip jiggling running where only he knows where he’s going, but I love it, bamboozle’s defence’s and creates absolute mayhem along with opening spaces for others to exploit, slightly kamikaze but it fookin works doesn’t it ?


They’ll be absolutely desperate for a win, but it ain’t happening, they just haven’t got the tools to do any damage, sometimes I like to imagine what it’s really like to get in their heads, for example the window has just closed so just prior to that, I’d loved to have put in Cheeky bid for the young lad Gordon, not that I think he’d fit in here or indeed if he’s good enough, or needed,  but just to wind them horrible Cnuts up, just to get in their heads and piss them off just days prior to beating them, but that’s just me, I’m a nice wee guy, but just don’t f***in cross me, 🤣🤣🤣🤣


We all know what’s likely don’t we ? All blood and thunder for 20-30 mins then we settle into a nice rhythm and pass the Cnuts to death, attack when we have the ball, press when we don’t, Fat Frank will park the bus playing something akin to a 5-4-1, so I’m not expecting a goal fest if I’m honest, but what I do expect is for us just to do our own thing and get thru the game injury free, grab the three points and move onto Napoli, our next victim’s !!



0-2 Mighty Redmen


IMAGINE BEING US !!

Agreed. I don't understand these comments worrying about Nunez.

He's just come back after an embarrassing red card. Why do people think he is going to do the same thing again - especially his first game back?

Nunez must play ffs every teams going to wind him up not just Everton so F**k em he plays

Agreed. I don't understand these comments worrying about Nunez.

Statistically it's unlikely he'll be sent off ever again, if needed play him. As for today, A clean sheet would be a novelty these days.....C'mon Reds show them the way to go home etc...etc....

Hopefully Salah rediscovers some goal scoring form as of today!

Apparently Darwin , Carvallho and Kostas starting

Never normally nervous for a derby but have a horrible feeling this morning. I think an early goal is vital or frustration might get the better of us. Please reds just turn up and put them in their place.

I imagine it will be the same team but Milner in for Hendo.

If things aren’t going well then I hope Jürgen brings on both Darwin and Carvalho earlier than when he normally makes subs. I haven’t been too impressed with Darwin so far to be honest but I think this game could be perfect for him. His size and pace should cause their bus pass centre halves some problems.

Arthur is in the squad apparently!

Arthur on the bench I just read after getting clearance.

Could be wrong but Nunez starts

Think we need Nunez to start, something different, be direct.

If Carvalho starts to ahead of Milner,   that'd be a Fab/Elliot/Carvalho midfield, very attacking, but maybe lacking experience.  Would that be a bad thing though, hard to know - Hendo/Milly in the middle wasn't working for sure and there was bags of experience there.
