EVERTON VS LIVERPOOL - 17 oct 2010, ko: 13:30
Posted: Tue Oct 05, 2010 5:58 amDefinitely not too early to start this thread as its looking more and more like a do-or-die match for Roy Hodgson to salvage some pride after a disastrous run of results.
Considering the fact that both teams are somewhere in the relegation zone, expect the atmosphere to be electric with a possible red card or 2.
The last six meetings between us and them has seen us win 5 while drawing another. However, to be honest, i can't see us winning this going by the precedent of the previous games. I hope to be proven wrong, i just don't wish to see Meireles end up at leftback and Gerrard in defense at the end of the game. I would also consider playing Kyrgiakos as we do need someone dominant in the air. Cahill would be a threat unless he is injured, he is their top scorer with 3 goals so far.
Steven Pienaar is reportedly injured, while Fernando Torres might not be fit either. Everton would be brimming with confidence too after breaking Birmingham's unbeaten home record after 13months. An ill-tempered 2:2 draw looks likely though we desperately need a win more then ever.
Neville said in some report that the embarrassment of being at the bottom of the table inspired them to beat Birmingham. I hope our players do find some kind of similar pride in them, and go for the win.

recently plain and simple however we still have quality in gerrard and torres players who can win matches and change a season. I would have dropped carragher but since its a derby i think he will be needed. Meireles is lookiong good and i would definetely start him i would like to see kuyt play upfront if torres is unfit however ngog would probably get the nod. This is a Amust win so ive gone for a line up which im confident will win the game.
