Crash: “I told him a player on a streak has to respect the streak.”
Annie: “Fine.”
Crash: “You know why? Because they don’t happen very often.”
Annie: “Right.”
Crash: “If you believe you’re playing well because you’re getting laid or because you’re not getting laid or because you wear women’s underwear, then you are. And you should know that!”
Can we have a poll?
Will Rafa be sacked before or after the derby?
That’s not the worse result at Brentford better than I’d expected from them recently.
I’ve said it elsewhere but it wouldn’t surprise me if he makes one or two surprise selections.
Whoever he picks I’m happy with mind unless it’s our third choice keeper.
Fucking thrash them and Benitez getting sacked would be brilliant
Be careful what you wish for… keeping Benitez there is just fine as is of course thrashing them!
Why would Rafa getting sacked be brilliant?
Nice payoff for Rafa and we don’t have to think of him as manager of Everton.
I think the payoff would suggest they won’t mind.
Should GermanRed be taken off match poll duties?
Hope we beat them as easy as we all are expecting.
Would be ‘typical football’ if all of a sudden they get a result against us.
Could be very naive thinking from me but I hope with Rafa in charge it won’t be as physical and reckless as it was in the past.
Even Rafa can not stop those idiots being reckless!
They may be even more keen to show some ‘fight’ under the circumstances.
As long as that thug Ferguson is there they will continue to do so.
shakes head in disbelieve
Just survive this Goodison butchery without heavy injuries and bring back 3 points! Anyhow, just get them. Well, a good old trashing of the bitters would signal a perfect start of December …
I think Klopp might rotate a few, with another game on Saturday in mind. I expect Matip back in the side for Konate. Thiago is due a breather after three successive starts, so I think Millie will start this one over him. Final tweak might be Origi - he always loves scoring against Everton, doesn’t he?

I think managers don’t have so much influence on ugly fouls. In some games, with some players and some periods, it doesn’t matter who is the manager, players do what they do. That unfortunate game last season happened with Carlo in charge. I don’t imagine him or Rafa saying “go out there and break a few of them”. I can’t imagine anyone at that level, in fact. It might perhaps variate more with some other, more physical coach (or a lunatic like Roy Keane), but I don’t think it’s such a big difference for players.
The Derby. Massive game.
Origi starts ahead of Salah.
My head hurts even contemplating this.
Strongest possible side give them a spanking and keep the momentum going.
We’re going to get Rafa sacked.
Godfrey to go straight through Mane the first time a pass is played into him.
Ref will decide which way the game goes.
2nd minute yellow or a subsequent 88 minutes of complete thuggery
