 Welcome to Toffy TV. It is the starting 11 show Everton vs Liverpool. The Maisie Side Derby. Can you believe this is the first Maisie Side Derby at Goulderson Park with fans since Marco Silver was in charge. That nil nil that we experienced. It's mad. It's absolutely mad. But yes, it's here. The Maisie Side Derby. Let's get into it in goal. Of course, it's going to be Jordan Pickford and he might be having a busy night. So he's going to have to be at his absolute best. Let's build. He's going to have to have an incredible game against Liverpool. If we want to get out of this game with anything, he's going to have to have an incredible game. So he's going to have to be at his very best. And there's a lot of obviously a lot of demons to put to bed as well. Obviously following on from last season is going to be a hell of a lot of scrutiny on Jordan Pickford. The first time obviously with Vaidil van Dijk and coming back to Goulderson Park and everything else. Jordan Pickford just seems synonymous with Maisie Side Derby's in the last couple of years. There's nil the last three or four years. So big game hopefully from Jordan Pickford at right back. Sheamus Coleman. Yeah, it's just sad that Evan can play poorly every single week. And we don't have any room for manoeuvre that you know left back. Luca Dean, centre backs, Michael Keane and Ben Godfrey. You look at that defence and it's been poor in the last few weeks. Certainly Sheamus Coleman attacking. I didn't do it too bad on Sunday but up against a very, very poor Brentford side who once they scored didn't really bother again the rest of the game to get forward too much. But it's just sad that we haven't got plays you can replace Sheamus Coleman. Certainly Sheamus Coleman or obviously no yet he mean it again, which is a massive disappointment. And these fellas are all going to be tested massively. You know Coleman and Dean are not going to have much opportunity to get forward and Keane and Godfrey are going to have to be there absolutely best. They're going to be fast. The concentration levels are going to have to be huge. But again a couple weeks ago we played Manchester City so we saw that kind of level that we're going to be up against. But they're up against such a unique front three in Welsh football that they're going to have to keep them quiet. Again, everyone's going to have to have a big game. I suppose if you're looking for players to have a big game, the Mayside Derby is the one because it just means that if you do have a good game and you do get a good result out of it. It obviously means so much to so many people that this is the game to do it. This is the one that if you can get something out of it, it's huge. So that is the back four I've gone for in midfield. We're going to have to match them up by a match and we're going to have to go like for like. I don't think we can have a spare floating attack around like Rafa Benitez, but seems to believe is the answer when it's definitely not the answer, especially when it's a woby. So I'm going to go for Alan. I'm going to go for Fabian Delph and I'm going to go for the Coraig. Obviously Alan and Delph to try and win back, you know the ball as much as they can and the Coraig to try and win back. Break, break through with the ball. Liverpool are just fantastic at pressing. They're such a good pressing side. So I don't think our back four can have too much of the ball, which means that we're going to have to move the ball into midfield quite quickly. I think Fabian Delph is a good option for that. And I think we're going to need that. The Coraig hopefully can move forward with the ball. But also become that number 10, become that out ball of time someone running through, through between the lines and joining up with the forward. It's going to be difficult because they're going to find themselves a lot of the time outnumbered just because of the way Liverpool play. And they're going to find they're not going to have much time on the ball whatsoever. So they're going to, again, as I said, they're going to, all these players are going to have to be at the very best on Wednesday night if we're going to get a result out of this game. On the right, let's have a little bit of a think about this. I was, you know, I think I probably would stick with Andrews Townsend, but there was part of me that was thinking, you know, Anthony Gordon, because I'm going to play grey on the left. There was part of me just thinking maybe it's time to give Townsend a rest and to bring leave Gordon and bring grey back. But I just think maybe this is, maybe this is the last game before you give Townsend a rest. Maybe you give Townsend a rest against Arsenal if everyone's fit or certainly everyone in the attacking positions is fit. Because he hasn't looked great. He wasn't great the other day. It's not that he's not looking great. It's just that maybe just change things up, just go with something else, just something different, something a little bit fresh. Because we've got no creativity at all and maybe grey and Gordon running at the Liverpool, you know, back four, because we know Liverpool's full back to love to try and push on and get high. Well, maybe if we have a couple of our own players pushing them, pushing them midfielders back using that pace. But I'm going to stick with Townsend and grey back in the side because, yeah, I think we just need a bit of experience. And I wouldn't like to see Anthony Gordon go into this game and do something silly just to try and, you know, you always say play the game, not the occasion. I don't think Anthony Gordon's that kind of player, but we've seen other players get caught up in Macy's at Derby. So think Anthony Gordon coming off the bench just to give us something a little bit different. I think I'd stick with the experience just for this game. And up front, it is obviously Rondon. No, it's Richard Allison. Richard Allison is back from suspension. But Richard Allison's got to do a hell of a lot more than he has been recently. He's been very isolated recently and he's got to get about the game a little bit more. And when I say that, not like Man City going round kicking someone, just be a little bit more mobile. Get down the channels, be an outball because you're going to have to be an outball. But make sure he is an outball. Hit the channels and make sure he's going into those channels because we're not going to have much time on the ball and we're going to need to stretch Liverpool with playing a long ball. And we don't particularly play a lot of long balls because we haven't got Dominic Armelun in the side, but I think we're going to have to do that and rely on the pace of Richard Allison and the pace of Grace. So yeah, not particularly confident going into this game, but why would you be? Because Liverpool are absolutely flying, scoring goals for fun. But Liverpool have won one to Goddison in 10 years. We won the last derby. They drew at Goddison last year, they drew at Goddison the season before. Fingers crossed. That's all we can do is have a little bit of just hope for a little bit of good luck and it could be a game that changes our season. Who knows? This could be the result that changes our season. All we can do is get behind the team and let everything else worry about everything else that's going on after the game. But for the game, we just got to get behind the team and hope for the best. Hope for the best. There you go. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. You agree, do you disagree with my 11? There's not much more room for manoeuvre, let's be honest. And again, this is back, but he'll be on the bench. Gordon, do you start him? Do you not start him? There's nothing at the back. There's very little in midfield. I wouldn't play another attacker because let's be honest, we're going to be behind the famugs of this game. So, let me know your thoughts in the comments.
