I might be completely wrong and a first-choice trio of Salah-Jota-Mane will start; but I just have a hunch Origi will start on Wednesday. Could as well be ahead of Jota or Mane and not Salah.
Klopp usually tends to rotate his squad at this time of the year and does not start his first-choice attacking trio in every game. And it certainly wouldn’t happen for the first time that Origi starts ahead of Salah in the Derby at the beginning of December.
I wouldn’t love Rafa being humiliated. He means too much to Liverpool to see Everton destroy him. I think he made a poor decision in going there, but dont like the notion of him being sacked.
I disagree with @ElCapitan on starting Origi as I want Salah in every game till AFCON. I want Mo to win the Golden Boot and a hat trick on Wednesday would help.
Most of all I want a semblance of retribution for their thuggery last season. A real display of football and a continuing of the 2 Goals Plus run of form.
Disagree on this one. I think managers and coaching staff have a huge influence on this. They can get the team over-hyped, especially for the Derbies. Just look at how our team resembles Klopp in how we play fair. Then look at Dyche, Pulis, Allardyce teams, esp in how they approach playing better teams
I mentioned some other more physical coaches, who have a more aggressive style. That’s fair. But I don’t think they say to their players that they go out there and send a few to the hospital. I certainly don’t look at it so radically different. Bloody Thiago Alcantara played like a Simeone player off the ball at times last season.
I’m sorry but I can’t quite remember him being a whiny little shit that went down like he was shot everytime a player breathed on him and neither can I quite remember him being a snide little shit deliberately tackling players late or generally being a twat on the field to try and get players injured or booked. But hey, could just be me.
I don’t think Jurgen has had a win at Goodison yet? Long overdue. This looks like a huge mismatch so I will be severely disappointed if we don’t get the win this time.
Even I have to admit that the feeling is similar to what we had before the ManU game a few weeks ago. We’ll absolutely trash them in their own stadium.
