Liverpool:

Reina
Kelly Skrtel Agger Johnson
Meireles Lucas Spearing
Kuyt Torres Maxi

Bench: Gulacsi, Kyrgiakos, Cole, Aurelio, Shelvey, Pacheco, Babel

For the second match in a row, a bit of a head-scratcher from Kenny Dalglish. The big surprise is that Jay Spearing makes the starting eleven, but I’m thinking that’s less worrisome than once again seeing Glen Johnson at left back. Against Blackpool he had a hell of a time making an impact, and even though Martin Kelly’s less experienced, I’d rather see him on the left than Johnson. Apparently Milan Jovanovic and David Ngog miss through injury, and we see Dani Pacheco, Ryan Babel, Fabio Aurelio, and Joe Cole make their returns to the first team.

Everton:

Howard
Neville Heitinga Distin Baines
Coleman Fellaini Arteta Osman
Beckford Anichebe

Bench: Mucha, Hibbert, Biyaletdinov, Vaughan, Gueye, Rodwell, Baxter

In the run-up:

This should suffice to get you prepared up for the derby, so kudos to 22elaidefors on YouTube for the work. Bonus is that if you’ve got the sound all jacked up, you’ll probably inspired to lead a revolution against an oppressive monarchy or ride horseback through the mountains in search of your kidnapped childhood love or sail across the ocean at breakneck speed towards the ends of the earth. Residual benefits at best, though, and you’ll likely want to watch the actual match first anyhow.

The video, though:

I love the photo of the 2 stadiums. If you have any more, please share them.

If Torres hadn't hit the post... if Maxi had taken his chance better. This side needs one bit of luck to break their way as much as anything.
Ed

I'd say a Skrtel whiff that leads to a penalty counts, yes?
Noel

Another Skrtel screw up that leads to a Liverpool goal this time? Yeah, that works.
ChrisLFC

Someone needs to let us know the second half started already...
Ed

About as bad a start to a half as you could imagine.
Rosco

This is fucking guff
Ed

Someone needs to lift the juju on Martin Skrtel.
Noel

Crizap. Might need the crowd to stop the players from crumbling.
Noel

I'm not sure if the improvement in midfield control is a compliment for Spearing or an indictment of Poulsen.

Actually, Johnson isn't doing bad at all on the left, perhaps he's getting used to it. On the other side, Kelly is doing quite well also! *Knocks wood nervously*
ChrisLFC

Agreed. Though Glen just doesn't look nearly as comfortable when he's bringing the ball up the left and then trying to get the ball back across with his right foot. Defensively though, much better. *more wood knocking*
ChrisLFC

I blame myself.
Noel

I was under the impression we'd get a proper nutter celebration there... well, I suppose I'll take it anyhow.
ChrisLFC

There it is RAUL!!!!
Ed

Post is worth .5
Rosco

And it was a good post at that
ChrisLFC

What a beautiful move by Torres!!! AAAARRGH!!!
Rosco

Linda Henry is just . . . great
Noel

I'll be positive and blame Jovanovic for the midweek awfulness on the left... wait, is that being positive?
Rosco

Come on you reds
ChrisLFC

Johnson on the left does not inspire much confidence....we'll see.
lfc4eternity

Even more nervous now!...or Kenny has it wrapped up??

To John from Dallas re your previous post;
Great analysis, but a factor surely must be the 'effect' those top scorers have on the game as whole...we've talked at length about confidence (and who wouldn't feel better having Gerrard and Torres on the pitch) but how many of the total goals including 'other' goals have been influenced by Gerrard/Torres...quite a few assists there i think, which naturally means that without both those 2's passes, corners, and free kicks which did lead to the 'others' scoring, the whole pattern and results change significantly.
Incidentally, I'm quite nervous...some things recently don't change!
