Everton - 17 oct - 12.30pm

[Hightown Phil]

What basis is there for thinking he might do that? If he leaves Firmino out then there's what, three people more likely to play there than Wijnaldum? Quite probably more. 

[Cam]

We all know what ten of the XI will be (and so will Ancelotti). The only debate is Wijnaldum or Thiago.

And whichever gets chosen for midfield, the other can play in goal.

I am thinking 4-4-2 with the 4 in a diamond. I'm not saying he will do that. but he might try and play all 4 of his best midfielders

I would be very surprised if we played a diamond, more surprised with one that sees Wijnaldum at the top of it. I'd say the only players you'd be likely to see play that position under any circumstances would be Oxlade Chamberlain and Minamino. Wijnaldum as your third biggest goal threat doesn't feel very likely.

Bored of hearing about people speculate about this season and how it's going to be 'mad' and we're going to have another freak winner like Leicester and could it even be Everton.

Let's just smash these c**** to bits and win the league by 30 points.

Wijnaldum does seem to be getting forward more this season. I think his average position was higher than the other midfielders against Chelsea and Arsenal. He missed a sitter against Chelsea.

[McBain]

Wijnaldum needs to be kept as far away from the final third as possible 

His best position is 6

Semi finals V barca have been considered and dismissed as evidence

Brought it on ourselves. If we’d just beat villa 1-0 the league would be in funeral mode by now, null and void etc

defo. even with no crowd there, it's a different game. As I said earlier in the thread, not losing is paramount, their confidence is high (even if they have only played cannon fodder) and we have f*** knows what going on in nets, so Everton 0 is high on our agenda, if the other part is Liverpool 0, it's not the worst thing in the world.

Thiago off the bench isn't the worst thing in the world

Yeah we gave everyone hope.

Now we need to crush it again.

Looking forward to seeing little Jay Spearing asking Batman to give him 50p to look after his Batmobile in the new film 

[Big Red Machine]

Has there been any updates on Allisson?

 

 

[Leo No.8]

Everyone thinks this is Everton’s moment.

But they are still Everton...

[PaulMcC186]

On Saturday it'll be 10 years since Everton last beat us.

[Hassony]

I have a bad feeling about this one

So do I. We've been giving the opposition good chances for months. 

[Sion]

I know we can hardly talk, but they've only kept one clean sheet all season and have conceded 2 against Brighton, 2 against Fleetwood, 2 against West Brom. 

If they play as open as they have been doing we should have plenty of chances.

Goes without saying, we bring our performances against Chelsea and Arsenal with us tomorrow, we win.

[Tobes Rafa]

For everyone worried that we will have Adrian in goal, just remember they have Pickford. 

[PaulMcC186]

Keita, Chamberlain and Alisson the only players ruled out tomorrow. I didn't hear Klopp say what happened to Keita.

Did he actually rule Alisson out though . . .? 

 

[McBain]

They've got a few potential outs. All will probably play but Digne, Mina and Coleman all uncertain.

People seem to think no time frame means he could be back tomorrow. I took it to mean he's out with no return date.

It's playing to my conspiracy theory that he isn't actually injured so I'm staying positive until 11.30am.
