Usually true but this is rarely a normal game, every kind of foul and shithousing is allowed because it’s the ‘derby’.

Well that’s the game fucked then. Oliver will make it about him. Watch us get smashed left right and centre with no punishment, before a major call goes against us.
We will just need to score 3-4 and make sure Oliver isn’t the difference maker.

I don’t get the reference, but for some reason that dog reminds me of your whippet.

I’m concerned that we may have angered the Match Thread Gods by having this one open before the FA Cup game.

Do you know the rules?

I agree with this and I say that as the world’s biggest pessimist with regards to these games. I find them unbearable and haven’t watched a derby at that dump since the 2-0 defeat under Hodgson.
These are absolute dogshit. They have fuck all about them although Ndiaye is supposedly half-decent. They are already holding up Alcaraz as some sort of fucking saviour after playing half an hour yesterday, that’s how desparate they are. They have 1 fit striker, a fucking lump who would struggle to get a game for Southampton.
We have to match them for desire and physicality. They’ll be pumped up but so should we be, we’ve got a league title to win. No way should we be bullied either, Tarkowski is a yard-dog but apart from him who have they got in that respect? Garner? A 35 year old Gueye? An even older Young? Lindstrom? Harrison? We should be bullying these fucking plodders.
The team we field will be much the same as the one who didn’t show up in last season’s game. If those lads can’t get up for this one and do whatever needs doing to get the points then I’ll be massively disappointed. We are better than them in every position. They have won 1 game against top 10 opposition all season. They are shite.
I’d normally take a draw all day long before KO but not this time. A draw would be a poor result and anything less a fucking disaster.

One thing is the team will have had a weeks rest, Everton won’t have.

Exactly, I barely remember what it feels like to lose. Everton supporters are used to that shit.

We lost to PSV a few weeks back with a similarly average side out.
If we had lost with our first 11 out I’d hate it.

It’s never nice to lose. Well done Plymouth.
Now it’s on to the derby. A good win and nine points clear will be just the ticket after the FA Cup loss. Nervous about injuries. Nervous about dodgy decisions.
Hopefully we put down a marker and take what we are well capable of taking from the game.
3-1 Liverpool.
Salah. Gakpo. Szoboszlai (who is starting to get a nice eye for goal).
Beto for them. Consolation.

I do hope that someone from the club has taken the time to tell Slot about the bitters’ toxicity and rabid mindset when it comes to Liverpool and this game in particular, since it’s the last one at Goodison.
It’s going to be a war and he has to prepare the team accordingly.
