Up next is “Hi David Moyes” and his motley crew. Isak unlikely to feature if Slot was right after the Burnley game. A few players fresh and ready to go.
A nice 4-0 spanking please.
We haven’t had them against Everton in quite a while.
All 4 to come in the last 10 minutes then
1-1
Expecting same line up as tonight except Ekitike for Isak. Kerkez might get a look in but these kind of games need the cool head and experience which makes me feel Slot may again go with Robbo.
Booooooooooooooooooooo
Chiesa will be fit for this.
We’ll get the win.
Evens bet on a last-minute winner
Frimpong Konate vDijk Robertson
Szoboszlai Gravenberch MacAllister
Salah Ekitike Gakpo
Another twat team with a even bigger twat manager, great. I expect a twatish game from them. I hope we give them a twattering.
Injury time win - ?
Nice to see that, after a Wednesday evening match, they give us the earliest start possible.
I’m actually up in Bremen the night before, so I’m hoping I can get back on time.
I’m expecting the usual kick-fest, so 3 points and no injuries would be ideal.
The most important match of the season.
A must win.
Similar situation to Burnley… in that they will have had a full week of training and adequate rest, in between having a set plan drummed into them by Moysey.
With it being at Anfield, I expect they will ty and score in the first two minutes, or the last five minutes if they fail at their first attempt… keeping it tight and defending the honour of the Blue Bitters Badge with a full 12 studs as though their lives depend on it…
I predict a 3-1 win to our boys. COYR
Will be a tough game. We need payback after Goodison Park last year!
End of the day they have a break because they haven’t remotely been close to Europe bar on their holidays in about a decade.
At least playing Atletico yesterday was the perfect real life simulation / preparation for the derby.
For Everton …
Alisson
Frimpong Konate Virgil Kerkez
Szobo Grav Mac
Salah Eki Wirtz
Hurt them with pace.
Give Isak the last 40 minutes if Ekkers can’t break through.
Time for Gakpo to come to the party as well. And Wirtz needs to open his account.
Alisson
Frimpong Konate VVD Kerkez
Grav. Mac
Soboszlai Wirtz
Salah Ekitike
We are essentially playing a 4-2-2-2 at times so not fussed about where Wirtz potentially slots in.
A nice team performance will potentially get the season into lift off. Nice team performance. Clean sheet. 3-4 goals to the good. Will hold us in good stead for what’s to come. Not that Moyes will make it easy for us. But start the way we did against Atletico and there will be more than one team that we take to the cleaners.
One of their two cup finals.
