Match Thread Everton V Liverpool 19th December 2016

Barkley and Lukaku have been poor

 

[Gil]

Barkley & Valencia have been shocking. They wasted the opportunity to punish the RS when the team was well on top.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

We really needed to score there. Can't see them being that far off the pace for another 45

 

[dannyboy]

Well on top, just nothing in terms of creativity.

Valencia and Lennon are doing well, they're just not the type of players to unlock a defence in a game like this.

 

[mezzrow]

This is better. Find the energy. Keep working. Scoring would be good.

 

[kenada_blue]

Made them look bang average.

Just need some quality.

 

[blue to the bone]

Can't fault attitude, workrate or committment there. Just lacking the real quality up top that hopefully we can bring in in January.
Now hopefully the gladys does there job and sucks in a winner for us.

 

[Markydys]

Good half - will take that. Would like to see Lennon actually run forward with the ball. Does he realise what his attacking role is?

 

[Thomasc]

Barkley gives away the ball again then chases Origi and puts us under pressure with a minute of the half left.

The lad is absolutely brainless

Barkley and Lukaku have been poor

Barkley is a tourist. Nothing man of english football. No fight no brain no shooting ability..nothing

 

[toffeejack]

Perfect illustration of why we need a playmaker, got in loads of good positions, yet nobody has got that guile to put lukaku into a goal scoring position. Lukaku and valencia just haven't cut it in the final 3rd so far sadly.

 

[Rook]

Good half. Bet Sturridge is coming on to start the 2nd half. Could use a few long range shots on goal.

 

[TheAlmightyFloater]

remember when we never expected to reach half time without conceding against them?

Decent half but lacking the finishing touch really.

 

[bretts angell]

Dogs of war...I love it

 

[ProZ]

We play an awful brand of football these days, also, can someone tell me what Valencia is offering? Such a terrible football player.
