LFCMike 3,009 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Just about winning and getting through it without any of them injuring any of ours. While I would love to see Thiago take the piss like he did on Tuesday night, I'd be leaving him out of this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of experience and won't let anybody lose their heads. I'd also consider giving Trent a rest after his injury. Bobby is in a race against time to be fit so I'd go 'as you were' up top.

Yeah I think he could rest one of the full backs. I think Jota may come in for Diaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,662 Posted April 22, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted April 22, 2022 Probably unrealistic but if we can deny them victory here there's a case that we'd have cost them three titles in four years. No wonder they want to see us relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan 18,384 Posted April 22, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted April 22, 2022 Has there ever been a time where either side has ever been so far apart in quality or stature, in the PL era? I know there was a time where Everton staved off relegation in 2003/04 but Liverpool were nowhere near top. Can't remember a time where there was such a gulf as there is now.

Not in our lifetimes, I don't think. This is just an unpleasant experience to get out of the way these days. The constant dashed hope of losing the majority of derbies when they were 4th-5th and we were 6th-7th was worse because there was a number of seasons in the Moyes era where we should have won not that many less than we lost and we just didn't. This is the worst we've been since the 90s though and Liverpool weren't challenging for titles like they are now back then so to answer your question, definitely in the PL era. You might have to ask @Bluewolf or @CaaC (John) to recall a bigger gulf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,360 Posted April 22, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted April 22, 2022 If you mean Man United then this... MANCHESTER UNITED: THE 26 BARREN YEARS 'Between the years 1968 and 1993, United fans watched eight sides win the First Division title. Try as they might, five men could not recreate the glory days akin to those in Sir Matt Busby’s era, and supporters in the Stretford End watched as their great rivals Liverpool won 11 league titles without a response from United....' I arrived back from Australia in 1972 and I would always look at the league table and see Liverpool on top and think to myself "I wish that was us sitting on top, sigh...' Then I can remember the glory years of Everton under Howard Kendall, his first spell in charge and his second but you challenged Liverpool for honours then with 2 first division titles, an FA Cup, 3 Charity Shields and a European Cup Winners Cup. I bet you wished you had another Kendall in charge nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted April 22, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted April 22, 2022 If we can close this game in the first half like we did in the last game I think there's scope for a lot of players to be taken off and given a break before going into the next match. I do agree with the Thiago statement but I'd imagine players like him need a little run-out just to stay match sharp so I wouldn't be opposed to taking him off at half-time and giving Hendo the rest of the game.

Every game at this stage of the season can be tricky. Everton obviously have a greater urgency, I will expect them to put up a bigger fight than Man United did, they are a team in limbo.

And its not like Liverpool don't have anything to fight for. Literally going for the title They'll do over Everton even if the away side to put up more of a fight than Man Utd...

I already alluded to that but take the emotion out of it, which Klopp certainly does in these games, and we're playing a side that's fourth from bottom as it stands.
