blues v LIVERPOOL .. across the park sunday 3rd March 2019...
The REdS go across the park on sunday to face the side who would most like to upset the season's title challenge .. ... my favourite memories go back to a wembley final in 86 .. travelling with a group that was made up of 8 REdS & 4 blues /... but we were >Made up< with the league and cup double that season... #19 ???
the blues will defend as if it is the "alamo" to spoil our show..
I am tempted to suggest JK should start Div. Origi again at goodison, the blues players as much as their fans hate him ... might want to kick him,get RED carded or give a way a pen..

everton and Liverpool do battle for the 100th time in the league on Sunday, and rarely has there been so much on the line with the Reds top of the league with just ten Premier League games to go.
Not that the Toffees need any more reason to try and beat the old enemy in front of the Goodison Park faithful, but they're on worst ever losing run in the derby, suffered a heartbreaking at loss at Anfield this season and yes, of course, they can put a huge dent in their title challenge
everton v Liverpool (1615 GMT - local region ; 17.15h in balkans)
- toffees out to dent Reds' title hopes
It's the start of the run in with ten games left to play, and the end of a crucial and testing week that started at Old toilet and ends at goodison - Liverpool's two most hostile away environments to play in.
If they can end this week of all weeks still top of the table then they'll really fancy their chances with their last big away test (on paper at least) over with.
Liverpool's title challenge does, of course, only add yet another layer of motivation for Everton to try and win this one, and to strike what could be a fatal blow for their near neighbours' chances of ending their long title drought.
Marco Silva and Jurgen Klopp go head-to-head in the Merseyside derby
There's also the fact that Liverpool currently sit a whopping 33 points above Everton - which as good as Jurgen Klopp's side have been this season is still unacceptable for Toffees fans given the investment that's gone into the squad in recent years.
Klopp is fully aware of just how desperate Everton are to beat his side this time around, and will be making his players keenly aware of the situation on Sunday.
"Of course the fans of Everton don't want us to win anything, and our fans are the same with them. It's only very emotional, very passionate and for me that's how football should be," said Klopp.
"We know it will be really tough. At Goodison they really support their team, so now let's go there and use that atmosphere. It will be loud, it will be wild, it will be everything, and we have to deliver that on the pitch as well."
Merseyside derby team news
Roberto Firmino is the big injury worry for Liverpool
Brazilian forward Roberto Firmino is the main injury concern for Liverpool, with his recovery from an ankle injury promising but Klopp will want to know he's 100 per cent before starting him in this one.
Given how Divock Origi played against Watford he should get the nod again if Firmino can't go - and the presence of the Belgian will given Everton and Jordan Pickford in particular uncomfortable flashbacks.
Everton boss Marco Silva has an almost full squad to choose from, with centre-back Kurt Zouma available again having sat out the 3-0 win at Cardiff on Tuesday with a one-match suspension.
Full-back Leighton Baines is the only injured player, ruled out with a back problem.
Tactics & predicted starting line-ups
everton probable XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Digne, Gueye, Schneiderlin, Walcott, Sigurdsson, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.
Gylfi Sigurdsson celebrates during Everton's win over Cardiff
Zouma should come back in but otherwise SIlva will keep the same side that beat Cardiff, with Schneiderlin getting the nod in midfield ahead of Gomes, who was excellent at Anfield, but doesn't quite offer the same protection.
Silva will try and play a bit more like Man Utd and less like his old side Watford, not pressing too far forward and not leaving an space either in behind or in those spaces between defensive line and midfield. They've got plenty of pace to play on the break and getting the ball at the feet of Sigurdsson as often as possible will be a priority.
Liverpool probable XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Matip, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Henderson, Salah, Firmino, Mane.
Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are big attacking threats from full back
Firmino is the big question mark and even if fit Klopp must be tempted to deploy Origi and give Mane another run out down the middle where he looked so dangerous against an albeit welcoming Watford defence. Mane's extra pace running in behind also gave a bit more space for Mo Salah to exploit, and he was also excellent on Wednesday.
Skipper Henderson should step in for Milner with Fabinho and Wijnaldum now Klopp's mainstays in the middle of the park, especially in the big games. Keita, Sturridge and Shaqiri will be the more attacking options from the bench.
Key battles: Trent Alexander-Arnold's display against Watford highlighted that Liverpool are at their best with two attacking full backs flying down each wing, but Everton have a decent pair in Coleman and Digne so despite all the attacking talent on show whoever gets the better of the battle out wide could have the final say.
Alexander-Arnold's delivery was also magnificent and Everton have a weakness from set plays so that will be another key area to watch
Last time out - everton's nightmare finish
The team's last meeting at Anfield in December saw Divock Origi score a winner deep into added time, after a calamitous error from Jordan Pickford cost Everton a point.
The goal prompted Klopp to run 40 yards on to the pitch to embrace goalkeeper Alisson Becker - a celebration that earned the Reds boss an £8,000 fine and is a mistake he has no intention of repeating. ? (CRS... well he might ... if the REdS win in dramatic fashion again! ?)
"The (last) game was special. We know my celebration, I will not do it again," Klopp said. "(Everyone thought) the ball was out, Virg (Virgil Van Dijk) had already turned after his wonderful volley, and Div scored!
"It was tough that day, and it will be tough on Sunday."
Liverpool may be going for the title, but everton boss Marco Silva is also under pressure after a largely unimpressive season given the squad investment. A win over Cardiff was a start but he needs a strong finish to justify his position as manager.
Make no mistake that the last game at Anfield really hurt him - and seemed to take the wind out of his team's sails. He's desperate to get revenge on Liverpool this time around.
"It is a special game for both, for the city also, for our fans a special match, for their fans also a special match," said Silva.
"I didn't see a big difference. I managed my first Merseyside derby last December and what I felt was a special match for both teams.
"They celebrated that lucky goal - that lucky moment they had in the last seconds of the match - (like it) was the final of a World Cup for us and for them."
Thommo's derby verdict
l Thompson gives Sporting Life his Everton v Liverpool preview
Everton v Liverpool - The Stats
- This will be the 200th top-flight meeting between everton and Liverpool, becoming only the second fixture to have been played that many times in the top English league after Aston Villa vs everton (202).
- everton are winless in their last 18 encounters with Liverpool in all competitions (D9 L9), their longest ever such streak against their Merseyside rivals.
- everton's derby record since their last victory reads: P18 W0 D9 L9 F13 A32
- Despite remaining unbeaten in their last 16 league meetings with everton, Liverpool are looking to do the double over the Toffees for just the third time in the last eight seasons (also in 2011-12 and 2016-17).
- Premier League meetings between everton and Liverpool have produced more red cards than any other fixture in the history of the competition (21).
- Liverpool have scored more 90th minute winning goals in Premier League games against everton than any side has against another in the competition (5).
- Liverpool have conceded fewer away goals than any other side in the Premier League this season (8).
- Liverpool are unbeaten in seven competitive meetings with everton in all competitions (W5 D2) with JK as coach. The only Liverpool managers to enjoy a longer unbeaten start against the Toffees are Bob Paisley (10 between 1974-1978) and David Ashworth (8 between 1919-1922).
- Liverpool’s Bobby Firmino has only faced Manchester United (8) more often without finding the net in the Premier League than he has against everton (6).
- Liverpool’s Sadio Mane has scored 14 Premier League goals this season – more than he has in any previous campaign in the competition.
- Mo Salah has scored 49 goals in 64 Premier League games for Liverpool. If he scores in this game, he’d have reached 50 for a specific club quicker than any other player in the competition’s history.
Celebrations for Liverpool's Sadio Mane (right) and Roberto Firmino (second, right)
A clash that has all the ingredients to be a memorable Merseyside derby.
Everton will be determined to build on their midweek win and, more importantly, to damage their city rivals' title hopes as we enter the final 10 games of the Premier League season.
Liverpool can stay ahead of Manchester City with a win and they undoubtedly hold the psychological edge after going on an 18-match unbeaten run against the Toffees. Most recently, their December meeting saw Divock Origi score a late winner after Jordan Pickford's error, which famously led to Jurgen Klopp's exuberant celebration on the pitch at Anfield.
Whether or not we get a high-scoring edition of one of the sport's most famous showdowns remains to be seen, but this game comes at a pivotal time in the Premier League title race and seems sure to deliver drama.
But if the REDS play like the last game v watford .. see /2019/02/rednet-update
I so wanted a BIG performance from the REdS! ...and..
due to the poor TV selection, where I am based the broadcast was delayed until after the La Liga so-called "classico" ..
I was downing FIVE glasses of local REd Vino , and half-watching their game , and Luis scoring a hat trick just reminded me of sh&te Lfc-feckSGroup transfer politics that resulted in Suarez and the best Lfc players leaving during the USAcorp regime ... Juergen may succeed in SPITE of the boardroom sharks...
LIVERPOOL turned on the "full throttle" last night , watford opened up the game , and a multitude of shots rained in on their goal, if the REdS had taken half the chances it could have been 10.. I had a feeling yesterday that manciteh FRAUD klub might struggle against wham, and whilst almost all the critics were dissecting Lfc, the blue mancs have only scored 1 goal in 210 minutes of football against the 2 london sides ...
this morning some of the sports media failed to mention the 5 goal thrashing , disposing of the "banana skin" .. predicted by foolish pundits & fickle fsg cloned fan nies..
Highlights ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOoqeAR-WPo
Trent started lively and by the end of the game had , i think 3 assists, down the right he contributes a lot of creativity lacking on sunday, Milly almost scored , with a block on their keeper! (and idiots still claim he is "too old" ) he is a great Pro... and one of the fittest in the squad...
Mane scored a great header and a lovely back-heel both times Sadio just beat the off -side trap from Trents crosses...
Origi put in a big shift, "doing a Bobby" and scored like Mo! - who also worked hard and hit a post...
Fab, Gini, Robbo, .... combined well, defended tight against a watford side in excellent form, and "fancied" by the bookies.. to cause LIVERPOOL problems...
i have been moaning a bit myself that our CBs dont get enough goals from spot kicks/corners.. well VVD got TWO ...so thanks for taking note,, ha ha ..
Trent, excellent, I said to someone last night , imagine being a 20 year old scouser playing in a top of the league team now..
Team performance , exactly what was needed , now go across the park,. and do it again...sunday

SACK the Manager (not Juergen..HENRY)
... of course some of the mis-guided & ill-informed :fans: will claim that Henry./Lfc-f s g .. are to be congratulated IF Lfc win the title.. BUT USAcorp (my name for the boardroom sharks) took over in 2007, Henry & his BILLIONaire backers took ("stole" ?) the business of Lfc almost a decade ago,
NO Major trophies since 2006 ... the sharks just build up their assets and sold best players, and failed to retain Stevie too.. added USA sponsors, the main sponsor is a discredited bank,
IF Henry was a football Manager he would be sacked -

who all profit from the
Lfc customers worldwide, increased ticket prices, more corporate seats
at Anfield, less core supporters .. only this last year (2018) have they
SPENT inline with having a TITLE challenging team..
IF Henry was a football Manager he would be sacked -
THEY sacked KENNY after his first full season..!!!
