billetsilvousplait Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Genuinely interested Pool fan here, do you guy see yourself beating us this weekend? Can't see it myself i'm backin us to win, but mainly cos of the mental block your lat appear to have against us rather than us being that much better. Thoughts?

Lowensda Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Agree. We set up far too defensively for our own good, and Moyes has a superiority complex when it comes to Liverpool. We're potentially missing Gibson, Fellaini and Pienaar aswell, all 3 are first team starters. Don't be suprised to play a team of; Howard Hibbert Jagielka Distin Baines Mirallas Neville Heitinga Osman Anichebe Jelavic Liverpool getting a win last week will help their confidence. I hate suggesting a score though, so i'll just say 'meh'. Edited October 23, 2012 by tenaciousj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see it myself i'm backin us to win, but mainly cos of the mental block your lat appear to have against us rather than us being that much better. Thoughts? If we managed to play to our very best (as seen at times this season), and managed to remove our 'mental block', then I think we'd maybe kick your arse. But!....Mental block firmly in place, possibly missing Gibson, Hibbert, Fellaini and Pienaar, Gerrard raising his game and your usual piece of luck, then I suspect you will be correct and you will win! Your highly priced team of stars will show their true worth.We are above you at present, we deserve to be above you.....but you are one of the worlds biggest spenders, you surely can't spend too much time in the bottom half of the table!

Even the bookies are unsure on this....some have you narrow favourites and some us. Impossible to call for me; but if we play like we did v United in the opening game (sadly we won't) it could get messy for you. If we get Gibson or Felli back I'd go for us, neither and we'll probably struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 is marriner any worse than any of the others?

Pearso Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I was confident as all hell until Pienaar got suspended.. If we have Gibbo and/or Felli back then we have a chance, if it's the make-shift crap midfield that Moyes put out against QPR minus Pienaar then the red scum shall have us for breakfast.

Avinalaff Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 A full strength Everton playing at their best is currently a much better team than the Liverpool equivalent. Sometimes though, you need to avoid poor refereeing, and cheating opportunists, and unfortunately both are rife every time we play Liverpool. It wouldn't surprise me if Pienaars card was a brown envelope affair in advance, as we've had some terrible refereeing decisions made against us this season, and you can't help but be paranoid sometimes that there is a protective force to prevent any new teams challenging the top 4.

marcopaulo Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 the foul was the bullshit call yeah..but pienaar was warned prior to it..shouldn't have approached a player from behind cos nowadays they go down for nothing Lowensda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 I know you get suspended for reds, but the red was such a bs call. It was two yellows rather than a red, second one was wrong.....don't think you can say he shouldn't run behind someone in case he gets kicked Marco...harsh. If all refs were that daft managers would/should immediately sub anyone on a yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcopaulo Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 to be honest i'd have subbed him as soon as he was warned..he's the kind that gets involved it's part of his game..another foul is always likely to happen..also he was playing like he had something on his mind that day..easy in hindsight i know but i said at the time he should have been taken off..

Romey 1878 Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 This would be my team - Howard Hibbert Jagielka Distin Baines Mirallas Fellaini Gibson Osman Naismith Jelavic Obvously that's dependent on players being back from injury etc, but if injured players are back that's what I'd go for. I'm not a fan of playing Osman out wide but he's shown he can link up with Baines well and it'd also give us a bit more in the way of combating Sterling down their right. Gibson can sit in the midfield, protect the defence and spray the ball about to get us moving forward, while Fellaini does what he's good at and dominates the opposition midfield. But can also drop back alongside Gibson for added defensive cover if the need arises. Naismith has a good understanding with Jelavic so would be a good foil up there, but can also swap with Mirallas on the right if we want to freshen things up and give Liverpool something different to think about. I think it's a dynamic and flowing starting line-up and I hope that that's similar to what we go with on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Just reading up about Liverpool's Thursday opposition, Anzhi Makhachkala.... Guus Hiddink in charge, Samuel Eto'o captain and €150m spent on players since Jan '11 when the new owner took over . Gotta hope they give them a bit of a test, though I'm sure Liverpool will rest a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieDean59 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Well I meant the second yellow was a b.s. call. But Pienaar had indeed been warned. He also had to be told to go further back into the tunnel after being sent off as well, so he was on a roll... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdunc11 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Bluekipper saying that Felli, Gibson and Hibbert all back in training and unless a bad reaction occurs all 3 should be fit and raring to go!! Thank God for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) 4thOfficial delivers the good news of Fellaini should be ready for the derby, and the bad news that Gibson won't. Howard Neville Jagielka Distin Baines Naismith Heitinga Osman Mirallas Felliani Jelavic Swap Osman, Mirallas, and Fellaini around to keep hold of the ball if we don't impose ourselves straight away. I don't like the thought of Coleman dealing with Suarez 1v1. Although if we were to experiment I wouldn't mind playing a similar 433 as Liverpool's but with Heitinga filling in at rb to cover Coleman going forward. --------------Howard Coleman Jags Distin Baines --------------Heitinga ---------Fellaini Osman Naismith-----Jela-------Mirallas Edited October 23, 2012 by pete0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
