Talking points before Everton face Liverpool at Anfield

Bring him on around the hour mark if the game is in the balance, or pray to god we are a couple of goals to the good. Other than that, I'd keep Iroegbunam in.

If, on the other hand, we go behind after 2 minutes, then we have to attack and hopefully, we equalize in injury time. Then, before Moyes has a chance to communicate plans to shut up shop, we score another and win.

Weirdly, I think Beto should play in this one precisely because he is pretty useless. The RS will close down Grealish and Ndiaye and not give him a second thought. This might enable him to get a bit of space where he can do a gangly run and score a flukey goal.

If Barry plays, he is more likely to follow Moyes's instructions and spend all night running down channels or trying to win knock-downs against Van Dijk.

Play Keane instead of Beto.

Tyler Dibling too, getting his baptism in his first Liverpool - Everton derby!

Bet it didn't even occur to her why ‘in front of a crowd' was part of the sentence. She certainly didn't remark on it. Shame, because then she might have wondered if there were something significantly different about the way the games are refereed at that particular circle of Hell, where the officials feel the pressure of an ‘affronted when things aren't easy for them' home crowd.

We shouldn't approach this as in any way different to the Brighton game. They are definitely not invulnerable and if we can score first and retain the lead until half-time I think we can get the 3 points.

Not one for actually avoiding watching any of our games so I will be watching tomorrow and hoping for the best.

Come on you ‘time to stop living in their shadow' Blues!

Misses chances ? yes he does but he is also a physical handful who defenders don't like playing against, there is also his aerial threat.

We have never had a better opportunity to win at Anfield as we have ball carriers who can get at them.

I also expect us to win a lot of free kicks and there is no doubt through aerial crosses we can score from them.

As for the usual Moyes knockers over defensive tactics, it depends what players you had at your disposal at the time.

We are no longer a team "bringing a knife to a gunfight" because Moyes has brought in players who can win games so cut him some slack.

Everton 2-0 @ 40/1 get on and enjoy your winnings !!

• Make sure you have a tetanus shot before you set off for the match.

• Take an app that translates Scandinavian languages into English. It will help you communicate with the ‘locals'.

• Don't show that you know anything about football. It will be lost on them.

• That RS supporting bloke stood over there with his bird? That's actually his sister (who's also his bird).

• Yep, you're right, Slot is even more of a cunt than Klopp. Pretty amazing isn't it?

• Try to ignore the mindless racism and generally Neanderthal behaviour of their knuckle-dragging fans. Apparently they're ‘gobshites' so expect the worst.

• Once it gets to time added on, put your fingers in your ears, close your eyes, and repeat ‘lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala' for at least 10 minutes whilst thinking about Jack Grealish and/or The Hill Dickinson Stadium.

• Have another tetanus shot when you get home... ‘just in case'.

Looking forward to seeing Sloth being sent to the stands.

Touch that dammed sign. Play in our away kit... another Everton first!? Win the game... the entire teams of the Premier League will thank us and most importantly... fear us!!!

COYBB

Tim needs to improve his anticipation and reading of the game while playing.

P.S……..I’d be wiping me arse on a bit of bog roll before going out, then wiping it on that sign!

Liverpool probably conceded more penalties at Anfield during the Covid season than they have conceded in the 10 years that have overlapped both before and after that season.

They also lost a lot more games at Anfield, possibly because the officials never had to contend with nowhere near the same pressure that exists when they have got a baying crowd and so many people in the media ready to placate the greatest supporters in the world.

To be fair to our neighbours, we have seen them have a couple of very borderline last-minute winners chalked off in the last few years (probably longer than that with Suarez's teeth being ruled offside, possibly being the last derby Moyes managed against Liverpool at Goodison before his return?) I did like reading Moyes say that we lost to an offside goal not that long ago against tomorrow's opponents.

I just hope our players are all tucked up in bed right now and sleeping soundly, and they all wake up feeling full of positive energy in the morning, ready to go and break the hoodoo!

Wipe yer fcuking feet when you leave!

Durty fuckin gobshites that they are!

That whole club, including their Neanderthal fans, stinks from top to bottom. Come on Everton, put the gobshites in their rightful place, just like a piece of shit on the sole of your foot!

We certainly have the talent to provide enough ammunition for him.

Bring loads of towels and some extra kit for the players to get changed into at half-time and use the rain to our advantage, simply because I have always thought it was so much easier to run hard in the rain.

My team-talk would be very simple. Fight, work hard, back each other up and relish it. Realise how lucky we are to be representing those brilliant Evertonians, so let's go and give them a glorious day in the fuckin rain!

We all know that something dodgy will favour LFC at some point, which effectively means that we would need to be two clear goals ahead to get the win. A draw would be a good result.

If the Blues manage to get a result then that would be the cherry on top. UTFT!

Part of me hopes that Moyes is just being sneaky with the media and opposition regarding Myko and he's actually ready to go. If he's not available then I can't see how McNeil isn't the preferred option over Garner.

Otherwise the team pretty much picks itself. Beto seems like a sure thing although I'd agree with others and try a 'false 9' to get hold of the ball and bring the attacking 3 into the game. History says Moyes won't mess around too much in a fixture like this.

Pickford
O'Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, X
Ndiaye, Gana, X, Grealish
KDH
Beto

Then switch him for Röhl at 50 minutes...
