So it’s alright for players to get injured (actual assault by what they’re saying) just as long as it’s not one of their players.

Pickford missed a trick by not sobbing like a little.pansy like son did
He'd have come out of this a hero if he did.

I genuinely didn't expect VVD to die.
Its just his knee, RIP. I understand there will be a candle light vigil outside Anfield for said knee.

They’ll be experiencing what we have suffered for so long with over multiple seasons.
When you best player goes down with an ACL, not only do you lose them on the pitch for a whole season, you have to spend money to buy a replacement that you haven’t budgeted for and stops you strengthening other areas. Your second choice player becomes first choice meaning if they pick up knocks you’re down to a third choice player starting in the team. What worse is that even if you get the player back fit in a decent timeframe they’re hardly ever the same and can relapse again or never get that mental edge back (e.g Jags came back at a good level but he never had that lightning pace again. Yakubu and Arteta lost a yard each, so has Coleman. Bolaise, Kone, Mangala, Oviedo were finished as premier league standard footballers) Gomes is still struggling to capture his best form now.
Its an utter nightmare and most seasons we’ve had multiple players struck down with these types of injuries whilst our rivals have gone injury free then laughed at how crap we are. ‘Everton’s midfield is a shambles’ easy to point and laugh when our first choice pairing of Gomes and Gbamin are both out long term. How good would some top 6 teams be if you’d taken their two best mifielders out for the majority of the season last year?
Leicester are struggling now they’ve lost Ndidi and Soyuncu. They can’t afford to lose the spine of their team but it gets zero coverage and the media just say ‘oh Leicester look poor’. They can’t replace these players.
Whereas Liverpool get one injury to a squad that’s already been absolutely stocked with players they’ve paid exorbitant fees for, and it’s like they’ve invented the long term injury.

That's a two way street. They know that. They might try it on elsewhere, but they know they wont get away with their cult ways without retribution from the fans of this club in this town.
Just bluster from clueless hurting Kopites.

Had to lock their own Everton thread on RAWK. They can’t even trust each other to discuss us rationally without their bitterness taking over.

Has he hurt his knee? He should have said. Can’t believe it’s not been reported anywhere.

I honestly think part of the reason for the level of angst amongst the media is they now miss out on the collective circle jerk every time vd plays, and the clicks that come with headlines about the best cb to ever play. He won't be that, he is 50 50 to come back the same player, aged 30/31 having only really had two years at the top.
He loses the chance to be put in the same bracket as the likes of Terry, vidic, kompany, Ferdinand etc who did it year after year.
Best wishes to him for recovery BTW, but if you want to be the daddy be careful what you wish for as there is always a bigger daddy around the corner in all walks of life.
