Personally I think silva could destroy these the way they have set up, last 20 mins, him and yaya to get us the cushion!!

If we are still in the lead he'd be crazy to play Silva. Every week he rests is a good thing, especially if Sergio may miss time

the significance of the win takes priority, we can manage the last 2 l, it's all about this!!!

It has got my brain going.. Why would they play Oasis - The Master Plan, of all songs, as they walk off for halftime? At Goodison... just a coincidence I hope

Am I the only one that thought we looked better when Aguero came off? I supposed it helped that he equalised first.

I think the same. I think Yaya is in his best position when he's allowed to go forward and considering he's our form play, it makes a big difference.

I thought Aguero started very well until his injury. I just think a central 2 of Garcia and Toure is too immobile for some games and having Fernandinho in there helped.

Well that was more nervy than I'd thought I'd be. Javi needs to watch himself now.

Bricking it at the moment, this is going to be the longest 2nd half ever.

 

[Blue Punter]

I'm going to get this on record whilst we're in front, so nothing to do with sour grapes.

Martin Tyler has been an absolute disgrace all through this first half. Ironic that he mentioned neutrals as the half ended. Yet again, he has been anything but.

As usual Souness the only one talking any sort of sense.

 

[Blue Maverick]

Silva on for Garcia because he will get sent off if not careful

 

[Pastor Kidney]

Wonder who these two want to win?

 

[Nsno1878]

Think Tyler questioning our fans and coming out with the 'fans should always want their team to win' comments are disgraceful. It's a rivalry and what team/profession sports person wants their rivals to win.

He should remember the Redknapp quotes when he scored against Blackburn with Blackburn needing a win to beat Man U to the title. "I went through it in 1995 when I scored from a late free-kick to beat Blackburn 2-1 at Anfield. I’ve never heard the Kop so quiet after a Liverpool goal, it was eerie. Everybody thought my goal had just handed the title to Manchester United, and it didn’t sit quite right with the fans"

Conveniently forgotten.

Silva for Garcia probably needs to be done but is there a better XI than what's on now if you're up a goal with twenty minutes left?
