Liverpool v Everton 27th Sept 12.45

hefferboi

Liverpool host city rivals Everton on Saturday in the merseyside derby. Both teams come into the game off the back o some poor form. Both have only 2 wins each from their last 5 matches.

However, form tends to go out the window in this fixture an anything can happen. A win for either will kick start their season.

Prediction: liverpool 1 - 3 Everton

Augmerson

3-3 all draw.

NukaCola

Can see Everton winning this comfortably

Harry Palmr

Don't care, I'm only following the 18s and 21s for the rest of the season.

5starpool

This could end 5-4 to someone the way both teams are defending this season so far.

Agent Coulson

Goals, penalties, yellow and red cards one or two nasty two footed tackles just a typical merseyside derby.

Washington Irving

Liverpool 2-4 Everton in a calamitous display.

Gbear

It's very difficult to know until we see how Liverpool are going to line up.

A good, well balanced Liverpool with Sturridge off the bench would be strong favourites for me.

But if it's more Gerrard/Lucas shenanigans we'll get mangled.

RayCon

Somebody on the radio (might have been Off The Ball) was saying Liverpool haven't lost to Everton in Anfield since 1999 , the same weekend the US won the Ryder Cup ...

wonder what odds on the same results this weekend ?

Mignolet to silence the doubters and bag a hattrick.

Mignolet to then encourage the doubters by conceding 7.

5-5, hat-tricks for Manquillo and Coleman.

Can I ask the Pool fans here if this fixture vs Everton means more than any others? Like does the derby factor come into it for fans over here much? I know United would always be the big one but is this a close second or just another match? Always wondered that.

I'd say you'd get very different answers from Liverpudlians than those from Ireland.

A lot of the natives reallllyyy don't like Everton (they have to deal with Evertonians all the time so the rivalry is a bigger deal).

To me, it's more or less just another game and I actually find Everton ok, particularly since Martinez took over. They play some nice stuff and can usually be relied upon to take points off some of our rivals.

I'd agree with Gbear as well...it's just another game for me as I'm not from Liverpool.

Traditionally yes i like a bit of rivalry, 1989 Cup Final was a great contest. Been to the derby at Anfield (albeit 1999 so 15years ago!) and great craic, more banter than bitter. These days there's likely to be 3 or 4 Irish lads playing for Everton and 3 of those are arguably our 3 best players right now, so hard to hate them.

I enjoy the occasion, players usually up for it, but no real hard feelings

Probably a bigger game for local fans than for fans from outside Liverpool. They have to work (and often live) side by side with Everton fans all week.

Great game to go to though. Been to 3 derbies. Always great entertainment and usually plenty of goals and red cards.

Columbia

I don't think either set of fans is really looking forward to this...

If Coleman is back fit then I'd fancy a draw.

If he's not...I don't want to think about it.

Ranchu

Pessimistic about this one for Everton as usual. With both teams in terrible form it could be a shocker with more incident than football.

The thing I hate about this game is when it's the early Saturday kick-off :mad:

Will you be sitting on your hands if the seniors win?:P

hefferboi

The early sat kick off is ideal this weekend. I've the derby, the Ryder cup, the all Ireland and then mcgregor early Sunday morning.

I won't be right till next weekend!

Vicxas

Hard to call, neither are firing on all cylinders lately.

Derby matches are only a big deal for those living in the city imo. The Everton games are enjoyable because of the atmosphere in the stadium, transmitting that extra urgency into the players performances.

If I had to choose between beating everton or chelsea/united I would take the latter every time. Its not like I'm going to be slaughtered by hordes of Everton fans in work on Monday morning.

Why do Liverpool fans feel the need to start a thread for every game?

Will there actually be many local reds at the game with all the Scandinavian lars who fly in Saturday morning

Gavlor

17-0 to liverpool

I HATE the derby

You're not really a nice guy, I can tell.

Fescue

0-0

Defences on top, in dull and incident free draw.

GavRedKing

Havent Everton shipped all there 13 goals in like 15 shots on target or something?

Must be tough being pinned down and forced to read and post in them.

You obviously haven't seen much of Liverpool this season!

OwaynOTT

Reckon Liverpool will either win this or lose it but having said that they could end up drawing it either.

michael999999

I hope they remember to turn off the bleeding sprinklers tomorrow night. The amount of slipping for the last match was unreal!

The_Kew_Tour

Think Liverpool will win even though not in form they always have upper hand in these games.

Would not be surprised if Liverpool won by 3 or 4, but most likely narrow win.

ShamoBuc

Any kind of a win will do. We are not playing well, but neither are they, but its a derby so anything is possible. Pool to win by a goal.

DVDM93

I've a feeling it will be a draw, but if Everton win it wouldn't surprise me, I half expect a Liverpool win too though. Expecting a clean game with not many 'incidents' or cards given but the fact that it's a derby means it's likely there'll be an incident or two with a red card/s along with it. Should be a high scoring game with both defences leaking goals but I wouldn't be shocked if they tighten up for this one, 0-0 would be worth a bet.

You heard it here first.

Ranchu

There's a fierce amount of Liverpool fans in Ireland though so being an Everton fan may hold a bit more weight over here for us. I look forward to liverpool and utd more than any other fixture. I'm too old to know any Chelsea or City fans.

5starpool

Considering how crap both defences have been actually they will probably go against the grain and play out a bore 0-0.

This game could really go either way though. If Sturridge is back (looks like he won't be) and fit then that should hopefully give enough impetus to Liverpool to win the game. Gutted I won't be there as I was planning to be, but looking forward to it all the same.

Good to see someone nail their colours to the mast and not sit on the fence.

That's exactly where I'm coming from. Don't see the point of people covering every possible outcome in their predictions then acting as if they foretold the result afterwards. Creeps me out.

Nah not having this.
Literally a few posts above your post, I made the same prediction and I've quoted myself there to prove it.
Admittedly, your prediction is pure McVities digestives, where no expense was spared and they are perfect for dunking and my post was more like st.bernards or super-valu own brand style digestives, where every cover is cut and there are no frills and they taste of cardboard. Also they are crap at dunking as they are forever breaking and getting stuck in the bottom of your mug.
But I'm not having my post being ignored.





Really can only see the team getting a good result.

Dark chocolate. You freak!

prettyboy81

4-2 win for LFC!

Both Defence's look poor of late, should be goals.

Hard see Everton getting the win, hasn't happened at Anfield in 15 years??

A draw the likely outcome.

Also, back Liverpool to be awarded a penalty. Easy money.

I agree with the draw prediction.

it is funny though, how you tried your best to be objective and sensible, but at the end, you couldn't help yourself!
