Liverpool vs Everton - (FA Cup - Round 3)

[Chris]

Hardly throwing the game, we’ve got 6 players in our side that would walk straight in to that Everton team and then talents like Williams, Jones and Harvey.

Everton counting on this.....not for the Cup, but for possibly their biggest selling DVD of the year.

I can see the joy they will get that they stopped us winning the treble, As we wrap the CL with a 6-0 win vs Madrid in the final, The league is wrapped up in April.....Everton go out in the next round to Sheff Wednesday......But they stopped us winning a treble

It’s the midfield. It’s far too lightweight to be effective in a derby. We just needed a couple more first teamers in there.

The thought of having my first day back at work the day after getting spanked by Everton at Anfield, doesn’t really fill me with joy.

We might get something from the game... but it’s hugely unlikely.

What can you do? We’ve several injuries in midfield, we’ve another midfielder having to plug a gap in defence.

We last played 3 days ago. And 4 days before that, and 3 days before that, and so on back to 23rd November. All the while rotation has been limited because of injuries. Have to draw a line somewhere.

Getting their first win at Anfield in years is going to be a massive weight off them and a renewed confidence to get the league win. Think the team is too weak to win and a draw is a danger now. Would prefer to have won this and chucked round 4 to be honest

[Mark79]

I think there is a better balance to be had here, as opposed to as good as throwing the game to make a point.

It’s not about making a point, it’s about protecting players at risk of fatigue injuries. The expectations of how often players should perform these days is absurd.

[baitman]

Wouldnt have minded this team vs anyone else, win or lose, but vs THEM and an almost certain loss

[Leyton388]

Not happy with that line up to be honest. We shouldn't be giving these ****s an ****ing inch never mind justcgoving up on this game. However saying that needs must with the games we have coming up.

[Mark79]

So say we field a stronger but tired lineup. We beat Everton, but we lose 2 players to soft tissue injuries. Worth it?

[McDermotX]

Calvert-Lewin comes off annoyingly 'alright' in that pre match interview.

Hopefully he'll do something to remind us he's a prick.

Which I why I said needs must at this time of the season. I dont think any liverpool fan will be happy with that line up but will understand the bigger picture.

Milner with a hard crunching tackle in the first 5 minutes.

That'll do nicely

A shame it had to against Everton, but I’m glad we’re putting our players fitness first.

[Kenneth]

I couldn't give less of a **** about the FA cup, even against everton.
