here's my thing with everton... I'm not from the city, i don't know any blues, i've only been following LFC since 1996, and we beat them most of the time. so everton are basically irrelevant to me. I don't even consider them a "rival". I am amazed about how obsessed their fans are with LFC, however. i guess they are getting a new stadium, have some rich owner, and think we are worried about them overtaking us? apparently our "heads are falling off". hilarious. everton to me are 4-6 points every season. that is all.
Coutinho, Firmino, Clyne, Lallana, Mignolet, Origi, Can. Woodburn and Wilson with Wales (lots of Ws there). TAA and Gomez with England youth teams. All I got off the top of my head
True story On my first visit driving to a game in Liverpool (pre-satnav, yes there wa's such a time when maps and readers digest atlases were the rage) I was lost and so I decided to ask for directions to Anfield from one of the locals...I came across an old fella, must have been in his 70s and so I asked him 'Please could you direct me to Anfield, I'm a bit lost?' The chap responded in his broad scouse accent ' you're in Toxteth, you need to go towards Grove st then.....' I suddenly blurted out inturupting the gentleman ' Toxteth eh? Robbie Fowlers from Toxteth'
Continued. .. To which he replied 'Yeah, a lotta smack eds are from there,' Suffice it to say the guy was blue
If he was blue, I'm surprised he didn't send you on your way to Newcastle...unless perhaps there was a derby on at Anfield... I read somewhere a few days back that Everton have the best record in the PL in 2017...I expect a good contest, but I expect three points for the Reds...
Twas a friendly v Inter....1998 I think That was a long time ago... Ince and Harkness scored and we won 2-1 so
Expect Everton to be 'up for it' and the game will be another slobberknocker, played at 100 mph no doubt Btw inturupting was a typo.....this new site is frustrating
and they are only -1 on goal difference with Arsenal... They are also just six points behind us...certainly within the mix...
So the one good thing about the int'l break - it gives Henderson another week to heal - any update on him?
One of my best mates is a blue. Yep- two Sydney lads arguing over our love for our Liverpool based clubs is somewhat ironic, but he's such a bitter bitter person when they lose.
There are only two teams in the world of sport that I detest with that raw burning hate that springs from the fact that the teams in question are beyond the pale of maggotdom: The NY Yankees ( and that is an acquired disgust -- I. like most of my peers, was a Mickey Mantle fan ) and the Dallas Cowboys. Somewhat ironic that the Cowboys' colors include a shade of blue not completely unlike that of the Toffees. The Yankees' website is mostly blue, as well, but their unis are that deplorable, smug pinstripe. I realize that because of quirks of lineage and geography that there are perfectly decent people who like the Yankees and the Cowboys. I look upon them with sadness, that they have been seduced by circumstance.
The person mentioned above by myself is also a Cowboys fan. But in snoreball he goes for someone else I can't recall at the moment.
I have not been paying attention to Everton at all this year... I know Lukaku has been on fire but what else has contributed to their form? Has Schneiderlin strengthened them? I also like Gueye... they seem to have decent options in midfield to be able to give Lukaku a chance to win matches. I'm getting nervous...
Not trying to jinx anything but I've never seen Liverpool lose in person -- 16 points from 6 matches. 14 goals scored, 1 conceded.
Those who weren't called up still flew out! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...news-Jurgen-Klopp-takes-Tenerife-session.html
Lukaku is a monster, he'll give our CBs fits (any of them). Schneid and Gueye - plus Barkley from time to time - make up a very strong MF. but not better than ours. I think the bitters do poorly against us so often coz they don't contain their emotions. But if they do they can cause us a lot of probs. On the upside, their fans won't allow them to park the bus so that will open ups some space. Hate to say it but I smell a nasty draw.
