The Artful Dodger Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Should be a decent atmosphere in Goodison, for once. If Liverpool play to their level then there's no other result but a Liverpool win, I'd imagine Everton will take the dogs of war approach and make the game as dirty as possible, if they get a goal up then you could see Liverpool losing their nerve.

Smiley Culture Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Probably the worst derby in the current Premier League if you’re not a fan of either. Often one sided with little implacation on trophies or relegation and for years peddled as some sort of friendly derby where fans sat side by side by the media, it’s just never really been that appetising to the neutral. I suppose this is probably the biggest one for a while, for Liverpool at least. Expect Liverpool to have too much quality on the field, even with a couple missing and I think actually they’ve got a manager with some tactical nous. 2-0 Liverpool.

Love it, keep them coming. I know you've got every reason to think that but personally I think I'd have to lose my mind to make predictions like that before a derby. Neck on the line stuff.

To be fair i never really expect us to beat Everton comfortably, We do most of the time even though its only by the odd goal right now a big win at Goodison could give us huge confidence for the run in for the title. Salah needs to turn up and hit some much needed form with a couple of goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I honestly can't remember the last time Everton beat Liverpool. It feels as though it was when Big Dunc scored that header, shell suits were 'cool' and Rhythm is a Dancer was in the charts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Everton fans good be happy with a draw in this one or are you only happy with the 3 points? Without doubt a draw will be effectively a loss for us in where things are at but interested to know whether inflicting that pain will be enough.

Not just because of it putting the title in City's hands. If you forget about that part it would still be a good point given our recent struggles.

Just a bad run of form at the wrong time and too many shit players. It really is as simple as that. It's been made out as this massive crisis (by our fans as much as anyone) but in reality we've overhauled our style of play and are only a few points off where we finished last season. Earlier in the season we were 6th on a run of 4 wins, 2 draws including Chelsea away and one defeat before we lost the first derby. As Everton fans, we obviously at this point forgot the "seeing the style develop is more important than our position in the league this season" and started thinking we could already challenge the top six and maybe win the FA Cup in Silva's first season. As a fanbase we are absolute suckers for this, massive kneejerkers just as we are with player form, managers etc. Bottom line is the early part of the season where we were decent was the exception, so it looks like a collapse when we return to our normal level of performance which right now is a mid table club with some players that suit the managers system but aren't performing (Walcott, Coleman) and some players who are too good not to be in the side right now but also don't really fit the manager's system brilliantly (Sigurdsson, Keane, Gueye). Its a work in progress and I'm happy to stick with it given that the ones Silva and Brands have brought in this summer have been amongst our best players (Digne, Richarlison, Gomes, Zouma). It's worth sticking with. Think we may put in a decent showing today. People say our season's over but we could still get 7th and Europe if we put a run together which will be difficult if you look at the fixture list, but a win or even a particularly positive draw against Liverpool under the circumstances would generate enough goodwill to carry us to the end of the season with the fans fully behind the team and the manager again.

I mean I don’t know how much I rate Silva, but I think the right thing to do is back the manager trying to implement a new style. I don’t think you’ve got a bad squad, but I do think it’s unbalanced due to Koeman’s mental summer last year. And like you say, why sack the man who brought in the best performers you have this season. Yeah from the outside though the beginning of the season looked like Silva was helping Everton turn the corner that Martinez and Koeman just couldn’t get the club around. Then Pickford’s tiny arms seemed to deflate all confidence and change your season entirely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
