Everton - 17 oct - 12.30pm

[growler]

Could be chaos depending on internationals but all things being equal, we should have Mane, Hendo, Thiago all back. 
 

everton may actually try to win this so may be chances if we can take them.

 

thiago, fab hendo? Or Thiago to start on bench? Can see Jota for firmino potentially.

Are Chamberlain or Matip back for it?

I'd start Thiago, Henderson and Wijnaldum or Fabinho in midfield, depending on Gomez being dropped and Fabinho going into defence.

I think Klopp still hasn't played the front 3 together against them.

As someone else pointed out, the last thing we needed was Ancelotti having two weeks to analyse the Villa match.

And I'm assuming we'll get maybe one training session in to prepare the defence for the same tactics again?

f*** our lives.

Yeah true.  Hadn't thought of that.

Matip will be fit apparently

[Conrad]

Current form indicates we'd be better off if they sat back.

Is Matip one of our players who looks s*** straight after an injury? Fabinho is awful when he first gets back.

[Falconhoof]

Having the option of Matip of Fabinho to partner Virgil is positive.

Henderson and Thiago will be a huge boost in midfield.

Mane back in the side.

Should give us a chance of a point.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

we've just signed a 17 y/o keeper - lash him in nets

[psl]

If Trent can injure Alisson in training, the least he could do is do the same to Calvert-Lewin.

[Sion]

They're gonna put DCL on whoever we play next to VVD and he'll probably win everything as his jump is ridiculous

Richarlison always pulls to the left too. They'll have at least 2 on 2 against our right back and right centre back.

What's the deal with him? It's like overnight he turned from Solanke to Alan Shearer

[Swipe]

He's got a proper manager now.

Has looked very good this season. Very slappable face though. Not Richarlison levels of being a bellend but would be nice to see him handed his a*** on Saturday week.

He's got future Chelsea signing written all over him.

i didn't see the Spurs game but his hat-trick v WBA was from less distance than Kuyt's v Man U

but it breeds confidence, obvs

we need to keep him out of the 6 yard box, prevent the crosses coming in and we'll be fine

He did have the proper manager at the back end of last season as well and didn't score after lockdown too though. It's a genuinely ridiculous run of chances he's had this season. 

[Swipe]

Can't remember what he was like last season. Don't think it's unreasonable to say he's just starting to see the fruits of working with CA right now. 

 

Maybe he's been lucky. Looked a genuine handful when I've seen him.

How many players have they had out at international duty?

I think now they've signed James and changed the attacking dynamic, they've told Calvert Lewin to just concentrate on scoring goals. 

Jane's game went in the opposite direction after Eriksen's form dropped prior to leaving the club

Loads. Pickford, Digne, Keane, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Sigurdsson, James, Mina, Iwobi, Godfrey, Davies. Only really Delph and Doucoure left bar Coleman who's injured. 

[McBain]

Henderson and Thiago into midfield. Fabinho into defence

Yeah definitely, but still it's a mental run of chances he's had. Like, he had as many chances with an xG of 0.9+ against West Brom as Harry Kane has had in in his Premier League career.
