Elston Gunnn Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I worry that Coleman's head knock may continue "under observation," rendering him unavailable. But desperately hoping he's fully fit, I wonder how this would work: Howard Coleman Stones Jagielka Baines McCarthy Gibson Barry Lukaku Naismith Mirallas Three DM's, but Barry has excellent all-field vision, good for a few long passes into space to create opportunities. And Gibson's passing is a real strength, yes? Second half subs -- Besic in if Gibson can only go 60 minutes. Eto'o for Lukaku at 60-65 minutes. Oviedo or McGeady in for either Naismith or Mirallas.

chicagoblue Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 See this Coleman business is what does my head in about the Swansea match. Fair enough, we played the B team and lost. All the arguments are trotted out there. But we didn't take the opportunity to give Browning a run out. He appears to be our only viable back up. Now he's had no sort of introduction and no way we can use him. If Coleman misses out it means Stones at RB and the consensus seems to be that we're a touch crippled like that. Now probably true that it'd be a touch naive to throw Browning into the derby even if he'd been MotM against the Swans, but at least we'd know where we're at. All we know now is what we knew, Hibbert's nowhere near it. Let him get to work on his badges if he's going to continue on with the club. I'm a bit distressed with some of the negativity here. Sure we always blow it when we go there, but no need for it to continue ad infinitum. Swans had never beat us in nothing, ever, that's done, why not this next. Liverpool are not strong at the moment, they've got no form. Their recent wins have been more luck that talent. If we set up solid and look to frustrate them for the first 25 (instead of sprinting out of the blocks to collapse when we run out of steam) then I think we'll be poised to hit them once they start to flag. Someone has got to be on Gerard just absolutely battering him for the first 25, don't give them the platform. For that it's got to be a 4-3-3 and I agree with those calling for Besic. Him and McCarthy either side of Barry will give us all the energy in the world to show our strength and at least two of them will be looking to play us in behind. Not sure I'd start Eto'o though. For me he's almost an Osman. Give him 30 minutes or so and he shines, start him and you see the chinks. ---------------Howard--------------- Coleman - Stones - Jags - Baines McCarthy - Barry - Besic Lukaku -- Naismith -- Mirallas MikeO and markjazzbassist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jofanon Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Honestly I can only see us get whopped. Sterling is going to tear Jags a new one. I can't bare to watch the derby anymore. At a minimum I'd like to see Besic boot Gerrard 1000 foot in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play like we did first half v Arse we'll win with something to spare. We've played some cracking football this season but been undone by individual errors, I'm quietly confident. Bought some petrol today and the guy behind the counter (Liverpool fan) said, "You're going to beat us on Saturday, we're awful at the moment." If you don't trust me then trust the guy at Tesco's filling station, Tiverton . Come on lads .

Romey 1878 Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 My biggest fear for this game is that Coleman won't be fit and we go with Stones at RB. That has nothing to do with the mauling he took playing there last season (I know he wasn't alone in that respect) but because him playing RB disrupts our balance even more than it has been this season. I don't care how shit Liverpool have been so far this season, if you gift them chances to score they'll take some of them. Please be fit, Seamus!

Guest millwallforever Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 Liverpool without Suarez are not a team that we should be fearing. We will be able to neutralise their central midfield without any problems. I suspect that there will be one or two surprise names in the starting line-up tomorrow. I do not expect too many goals, because both teams are well aware of their defensive frailties and will be very cautious tomorrow. My prediction for tomorrow: 0-1 us, with a late goal by one of our subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'm going for 4-2 win. I think we'll frustrate them to the point that they push onto us to try to break our gold on the ball and we will hit then with the pace of Mirralas up front. I think Kev has the derby attitude and will be silently waiting for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care how shit Liverpool have been so far this season, if you gift them chances to score they'll take some of them. Please be fit, Seamus! Agree with these important points. Unfortunately, from RM's most recent comments, seems unlikely Coleman will play. Of course, if he's not fully fit, medically, can't take any chance. RM's comments re the Coleman injury are interesting, if double-talk-infuriating from an Everton fan's perspective. I think I've finally caught on to RM's distinctions among: medically fit, "ready for the ball" - which seems to mean able to do individual drills - full practice fit, ready to get limited sub minutes, and ready to play a full match. If he's double-talking to fool Rodgers into assuming no Coleman, he's sure fooled me, too. It will be a wonderful surprise to find Seamus's name anywhere on the teamsheet tomorrow, but it will be a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYBlue Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 I'm hoping that this one is the one where Gerrard has a mare against us and it finally sinks it that's he's lost it. Goals and more goals. We definitely should't be fearing them, just need some pride, passion and belief. We'll get the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesey05 Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Team I would start if Seamus is out. Howard Stones. Jags. Baines Mcarthy. Barry Besic Mcgeady Naismith Mirallas Lukaku Maybe a bit risky with 3 at the back but having 4 hasn't worked. So with Besic, Barry and McCarthy to cover you never know.

Is he fucking serious?! I think the point he is getting at is that the game is still only worth 3 points but the value of the match to both sides is far more. If your insinuating what I think you are, then you need to get a grip as well as a few others on here in taking comments completely in isolation or not using context and even in some instances just making them up!

I've felt worse tbh and I always feel it's bad luck if we're in good form - because we expect a decent performance and we can get ahead of ourselves. Just look at last season. I was so confident the way we were playing and the way we outdone them at Goodison. Don't miss it mate (I know you won't) because we may do them!
