BBC comment piece about this being the most one sided Derby hoping to capitalise on any upset.

I remember similar things being said by the media before the Cup Final against Wimbledon.

A simple standard win, no drama, no VAR whines, three points.

We are clearly a far better side than them, but no way would I take anything for granted in the derby. When they don't freeze, they ramp their game up dramatically because it's us.

I also remember the Wimbledon build-up and I hated it. The banana skin potential was massive. It's the same in a derby match.

All I care about tonight is getting three points. A no-frills, routine 1-0 with no injuries would do me. Anything better than that is icing.

It’s fucking crazy, though we don’t help ourselves just accepting it, he’s screwed us in about 8 different matches in the last season and a bit, it’s incredible it’s still allowed to happen.

He's been doing it for years. He's a fucking disgrace.

What were they like at work today ? Think they could beat us ?

I've got that same feeling I had when we were about to play the other shower of shit at Snake Mountain earlier this season, two showers of unfathomable shite, and two we should be giving a pasting to any day of any week, but still, they're a pair of game raising shitheaps, so, depends how Liverpool start the game, and don't get bogged down in a snide doghouse game.

That Wimbledon game broke my heart, missed penalty, cleared off the line, hitting the woodwork, Wimbledon offered virtually nothing, save for a fluke goal, as Sanchez just jumped the ball hit his head and went in the net, no direction whatsoever, even my dad who's a massive Arsenal fan said it was the biggest disgrace in modern football (at the time) that they won that match.

Speaking of odds. We are now favorites to win the EL.

Not to mention the Beardsley goal that was disallowed.

Yup
Per 538.com we are 30% odds of not going further in the CL. Even that makes us shortest odds to win EL.
😂😂😂
We are that good.
So Everton stand no chance tonight

Just beat them. Can't stand more of the "we stopped the RS winning the league" shouts. It's all some of them could repeat last season. Yes, if we had beaten them at Woodison we would have won the league but that applies to any of the other games we dropped points in as well - against City, Leicester, West Ham and United.

macmanamanaman · « **Reply #254 on:** December 4, 2019, 07:09:34 pm »

Lets just avoid scoring any pace goals please.
Even if it means getting pummeled into a heavy defeat, its ok.
Also, I must make sure I dont cry when VAR correctly overrules all our non pace goals as well.

Is it easy to find the game on prime? I've never really seen the concept of live telly there, usually I just search for films.

We probably wouldn't rotate unless the players really can't go from the start but I'm expecting a slog to be honest. These games often are anyway, but even more so with that team.

Doesnt give a fuck. Picks teams as he sees/needs to.

Not surprising. We cannot just play the same team over again and they have had one day less rest. Good to see the squad getting used.

This is because we couldn't get the job done against Napoli. Team for tonight and Saturday will have Tuesday in mind rather than playing the reserves next week.,

Hopefully it doesn't cost us points.
