Granted, although a two-week breather after the result doesn't really alter much.

Much as Dave has been great last couple games, he's shown clear signs of fatigue.

I've even seen him misplace four or five passes!

Playing Devils advocate, these scumbags have been lucky not to have had Sergio playing against them in our recent defeats to them, and Dave will be perfect sliding the ball either side of their central defenders.
 
Not sure why we should change our tactics , the Dippers are nothing special , the only issue is they treat our game at Klanfield every season like a cup final , because they wont admit it but they are jealous as f*ck of our football club , we win trophies and we have born winners in our squad and management, whilst they shit themselves in big games and finals. No matter what the result on Sunday we know they will bottle it at Easter , their supporters are of the same ilk , at Klanfield they attack opposition supporters and players and yet when they go to Roma / Napoli and other european games they cry for protection for their supporters , they are f*cking cowards. They show no remorse or responsibility for the hundreds of deaths they have caused in the name of football , and i have never met a scouser with an ounce of humility ,they are the most hated supporters in europe , apologies to all Everton fans who are cut from a different cloth compared to the vile vermin that frequent the aging shite football ground that is Klanfield
 
Would love to win, I expect a loss though.
Still on the bright side we’d only be 3 points behind with plenty of time to claw it back

Just pick our best team and play our usual way. That currently includes Sterling who I think should start regardless of any concerns about past matches there. If we lose as usual, fair enough but at least we will have given it a go on our terms. For me the more he pisses about with things specifically to try to deal with Liverpool the worse we look.

I think doing that is justifiable on many levels because we ought to win if we play at something like our best and avoid stupid errors. Unfortunately we have a habit of cocking up there, often early in games, and simply playing into their hands.

My biggest concern is the mental side of the game and I am not sure any team selection is immune to those issues. However, I would be sorely tempted to do something different and I am not of a mind that Pep has gone far enough on that score.

I'm not in favour though of going and parking the bus and trying to play on the counter; although it could be very effective. My "alternative" approach would be to go with a 4-5-1 and in the extreme make the 1 a false nine but not starting Aguero would seem perverse when he is in scoring form and has a good track record vs them. I do though think we should be flooding midfield making it exceptionally difficult for them to find their front three. I don't want us to play around with the ball in our own half too much and would like the players to have an if in doubt play the ball down the flanks for Sane and Sterling to chase. Try and do things to discourage them pressing high and absolutely don't make it easy for them to nick the ball deep in our half... I want to pass them off the park but in their half.

My starting XI:

Ederson
Walker Stones Kompany Laporte Zinchenko
Sterling Fernandinho Silva Sane
Aguero (Bernado)
 
Well amongst all the doom, I'm really looking forward to this one. I know our record there is beyond shit,
so just another record to be broken.

Wow! I surmise you dislike scousers then. Gotta say I agree with you though, just you put it better.
