Vs Everton build up

[Gibbo]

They will also Start you'll find them on the pitch doing feck all

im assuming thats because if they play they will be invisible on the pitch, as usual

Now i'm no Sherlock Holmes, but I may have cracked your case there Baitman.

[Nicey]

We'll win this for sure. A big enough game for the small time mentality to shine in front of the cameras.

I'm expecting Carroll and Gerrard to start with Kuyt and Downing. Adam on the bench, but he'll come on later and make a foul.

I,m not so sure nor do I care if I be honest that Sunderland performance was kick in the teeth. Knowing this lot they probably will win because it does not ****ing matter now

[sssiho]

Its gonna be a nail biting tough match, not looking forward to it at all. If it goes badly I reckon the season could go into freefall. The bitters will be right up for this and to be fair they have been playing well.

[Mostar]

I hope not. I know a derby is much more intense and quite different but Coates played at Chelsea, acquitted himself very well and we won. Also it aids his development...he is the future, Carra is the past.

Same here.

Thank you Carra but no more.

Coates needs to get more playing time as to me he is #3 CBs at the moment.

The one thing about the derby is its often not about talent or skill

So on that basis we should probably play Adam, Downing & Henderson

If Stevie is healthy to start imo one of Adam or Henderson will not be in first 11.

Reina

Kelly Carragher Skrtel Enrique

Gerrard Jay Henderson

Suarez Carroll Downing

That's exactly the lineup that I expect to see tomorrow.

Kenny targets derby response

Kenny Dalglish admits Liverpool's recent league run is not what's expected at the club - but insisted they're determined to turn the form book on its head when Everton come to Anfield on Tuesday night.

Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Sunderland meant the Reds have lost their last three Barclays Premier League outings - though they did secure the Carling Cup during that sequence.

Across Stanley Park, Everton are currently on a nine-match unbeaten run and moved to within two points of Liverpool with a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend.

David Moyes will mark a decade at the Goodison helm on Wednesday - and while Dalglish knows it will be a tough contest, he's hoping that's the only thing the Blues boss will be celebrating this week.

Dalglish told reporters at Melwood: "It's 10 years since he went there, and he's done a fantastic job, and it's nine games undefeated.

"They've done very well and I think the city of Liverpool can be very proud of both clubs because they're representing the city and their respective clubs very well.

"It's a big game and one that both red and blue are looking forward to.

"Maybe if Everton are undefeated in nine, they're looking forward to it a wee bit more optimistically than what they were before we played them at Goodison (earlier in the season).

"We'll just take it as it comes. Form has never won a game in a derby, only what happens on the day.

"I think anybody involved in football knows derby matches are special. They are special occasions for whatever city the two clubs are from.

"For us, it's special because it means a lot to people - but it's not exclusivity. Most clubs have a derby."

On Liverpool's recent form, the manager added: "It depends what teams you're playing, but certainly it's not a record you expect from Liverpool.

"We'll just keep going in the way we have done. What we've done has got us as far as we have. We don't want to get into the habit of losing games, but in between the losses we've had a Carling Cup victory.

"It's a big game tomorrow. Everybody is looking forward to it and we know how much it means to everyone."

While Dalglish admits his side's recent form hasn't been up to standard, he insists nobody at Melwood has been left feeling sorry for themselves.

Indeed, the boss believes Liverpool have taken positive strides forward this season, though naturally he's eager for the Reds to secure a quick return to winning ways.

He said: "We never have (felt sorry for ourselves), ever. We've never gloated when we've won, so we won't hang ourselves when we've lost.

"We want to continue to progress, and I think we are progressing. We've also got a stronger squad this year than we had last year, but we've got to put points on the door and that's what we want to do.

"I think in most of the games we've played, apart from a couple, we've deserved more than what we've got when we haven't got three points.

"We just need to keep believing in ourselves and keep pushing forward, but we know it's going to be difficult tomorrow."

Meanwhile, Dalglish reserved a word of praise for the Sunderland supporters who gave Jordan Henderson a warm reception upon his first return to the Stadium of Light since leaving the Black Cats for Liverpool last June.

He said: "I think it's a great credit to Sunderland fans that they did. They were very mature in their approach to it.

"He's a local boy, it's the only other club he's played for. Most of the players they had the other day were brought from another club, so they shouldn't be upset when somebody leaves the club.

"It was very respectful and honourable they gave him a big round of applause."

We'll lose this one imo - their players have a hundred times more will to win than ours. It showed against Spurs the other day...

It's unusual to see you in a negative mood. You alright?

They wont beat us. They'll play for a draw, it's just whether we can break them down.

[frank the tank]

i have a feeling that we will be up for this. It's under the lights, anfield should be rocking and the real Liverpool FC will show up....

I'd love to see a team of:

---------------------REINA-------------------

KELLY-------CARRA-------SKRTEL-----ENRIQUE

JOHNSON----GERRARD----SPEARING----DOWNING

-----------------------------SUAREZ-----------

----------------CARROLL-----------------------



and just go out and keep attacking them down the wings.....attack attack attack..... and when the likes of Johnson and Downing are fla-ed out after 70 mins or so, then bring on Bellendamy and Kuyt to keep giving those blue-****e some more.....

I reckon that this could be the game that changes our season for the better......

I hope to see Carroll played in every game for the rest of the season, with proper wingers getting to the byline (instead of the Carra-hoof's he's been used to up till now) - with Suarez just feeding off the knockdowns etc..... get the likes of Johnson, Enrique and Downing all in wide positions near the byline putting in proper crosses for the big lad.....and the likes of Gerrard and Adam whipping in curlers 30 yards from the byline.......play to his strenghts for the next 12 or so games. Don't sub him unless he is injured.

And if he is still a bag-o-****e at the end of the season, then bomb out the lanky focker....

We've done that all season, attack the wings only and shown nothing in the middle. Part of our problem.

[Muddled]

--------------- Reina
Johnson -- Skrtel -- Coates -- Enrique
-------- Gerrard --- Spearing
Bellamy ------ Shelvey ------ Suarez
--------------- Carroll

Kelly for Johnson if unfit.

[Skrtelmania]

Not sure if this is the right place to put this but ****ing hell...

OptaJoe 38 - Liverpool have had 22 more shots than Man Utd in the PL this season but have scored 38 fewer goals. Contrast.
