And his first was poxy as hell if memory serves correct.

Was a huge looping deflection and he banged in another one in the same game.

I think Solanke can finish, I just think he has been unlucky in the games he has played for us that he hasnt really gotten any decent chances to show it.
I've faith that the lad will come good on the pitch.

Delighted to see van Dijk starting.

Also, Klopp being very tactical by having Klavan on the bench, ready to surprise Big Sam coming on a sub for an injury time winner if required.

Really looking forward to this now. Strong side out, hate watching weakened sides going out of the cup.

Strong side, as it should be for a derby cup game. Add in over a week till City.
Hopefully the flight to & from African awards won't hinder Mane

Harry Palmr

Excitement!

Kerrigooney

Not too happy about Milner starting but apart from that it's grand.

Agent Coulson

VVD bound to score an OG in the 93rd minute with the score level at nil nil despite us having 99.9% possession and 99 shots on target..

Harry Palmr

Everton side

Change of topic - the "behind the scenes" with VVD on his first day was notable for one thing in particular - Lovren gave him the best greeting of any player. Most people just went for a bro-handshake as they passed, but he took off the headphones and chatted for a few seconds. He's a good guy.

Van Dijk is a nailed on starter. Klavan, Matip and Lovren are competing for a single place in the line-up.

Lovren is working his charms on Van Dijk to establish a working relationship and give himself an edge over the others in the race to become the established defensive partner.

murpho999

Also happy to see Lallana back in the side. Will be a key player for us.

Loopy deflection was given as an o.g after by dubious goals committee. Lucky Crouchy didn't know and had confidence to score his second (first as it turned out). Never forget his perfect hat trick against Arsenal.

Like the look of that defence.
Probably our strongest defence in all honesty.
Only Karius you'd be a bit unsure about yet. Hopefully he can cement his place in goal in front of that back four.

Agent Coulson

Sturridge doesn't make the bench again.


I'm really surprised all the bottom half of the table teams aren't knocking on the door for him.

Thought he was rolling on captains armband at first glance.

In my opinion, Henderson offers a lot more than Can in the deeper midfield role. He's a lot more mobile and responsible in this position. Some of Can's performances have been shocking, particularly the Leicester match where he looked like he was towing a bouncy castle full of kids.

He is far too ponderous on the ball for me.

I would love to see us recruit someone for this position of the requisite ability. Could make a huge difference going forward.

N'Didi is one with potential in this position but would cost a lot.

Signing Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio would negate the need for a defensive midfielder. Himself and Keita would eat the opposition and provide the work rate to accommodate a more creative type in the midfield three.

I rate N'Didi. But I don't think he is quite ready for a top 4 club. Would leave him at Leicester for a few more years.

Doucoure at Watford is a very good player.

Lemina at Southampton isn't bad either.

Osmosis Jones

Excited/nervous to see van Dijk start, I just want him to be good.

ShamoBuc

Delighted he starts. I really hope he gives a commanding performance, or preferably has fúck all to do!

murpho999

No doubt VVD willl be declared a waste of money if we concede a goal or makes in error of any kind.

He should not be judged too much on tonight's performance. He's going to be a big player for us in the long term.

Defense looks so much better now, getting a top keeper in is a massive priority now.

I'll be judging him. Hope he has a stormer

corwill

My 'loved' ones' usual conspiracy of ****ing foostering means I'll miss at least a chunk of the first half. Yer heart would be broken...

big time..... would love to see him score for us from a corner

Agent Coulson

VVD also has a great free kick in him.

Or a free kick. He's the most likely to take on that role when Coutinho goes.

5starpool

£105m + 40m in appearance/trophy add ons seems to be the figure I've seen a few places on twitter for Coutinho, which are better add ons than were being discussed the last time.

I'd be very surprised if he is a Liverpool player on Feb 1st. Sadly.

citytillidie

Danny Murphy called Fun Bobby overweight when he 1st joined lol

There's no greater thing in football than a CB who can strike it from range.

Mr.H

Jesus Ive never been so excited to see a defender make his debut

Harry Palmr

Someone left the lights on in Goodison

Christ I'm nervous

Really want VVD to do well

OwaynOTT

Klopp is now a man with a van.

theoneeyedman

Why have 2 centre backs on the bench? Should have young TTA on it IMHO.

murpho999

Bloody hell, can already see VVD bossing the defenders and shouting at midfielders.

That's really what we need, a proper leader.

citytillidie

Can Klopp get his 1st cup win at the 1st time of asking, ie not needing to win the tie in a reply

citytillidie

Dirty Rooney

theoneeyedman

Bobby Madley letting McCarthy and Rooney stick the boot in early-someone needs to warp one of them with the boot sharpish

martyos121

Didn’t even have his eyes on the ball, scummy tackle but what’s new from him.

PhuckHugh

Proper cup tie.

ballyargus

No match thread?

murpho999

I really prefer Roberston at LB than Moreno. He puts more effort in and defends better.
