Match Thread Everton v Liverpool - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Nobby Nobbs]

A little point on the disallowed goal,it appeared to me that Mane came from an offside position to recive the pass then set up the goal,or am I mistaken not seen a replay so not sure.

If VVD was offside before he got clattered then the clattering “didn’t happen” and you can’t give a retroactive ban for something that “didn’t happen”

Pickford MOTM for me, we looked slow and tired after internationals but Pickford pulled off two great saves and smashed VVD knee into crumbs lol lol lol

You are crap, we are 1st, Dike is dead.

Beautiful, do you work for Hallmark???

Seen a lot of people saying we didn't play at all well. I thought we were quite good - had spells in possession where we looked dangerous and didn't fall into the panic that a lot of teams do against Liverpool. Mane was the best player on the pitch as he usually is though. Stick him in our side and we'd be a real threat.

The ref on BT said this isn’t true, you can be booked after an offside otherwise people would Just be punching each other with no comeback. Makes it all the sweeter I think. I hope this is the start of the leagues payback for them trying to take control with the mancs

The fume is great.. but imagine DCL slotted from that freekick right at the end..

About time someone stood up to Virgil Van winkle reckless challenges most others pull out, Pickford is daft enough to go square into him... Was always going to come off second best at some point in a match , and very likely the start of troublesome knee injuries given his age and size...

....I had to drive into town last season on a Reds match day & I was amazed at the no of supporters with ‘Virgil’ on their shirts. I’m talking grown-ups, not children. They’ll be devastated if he has a bad knock.

i’ve never done an ACL, but had plenty of ligament injuries. Generally you can walk ok in straight lines but it’s agony if there’s pressure from the sides. I’d guess ligament, but even that could be 10 weeks.

Pickford will be hated, but it was a goalkeepers desperate effort to block. A football incident. It was reckless but it wasn’t done with malice.

The reason most have 'Virgil' is because the club shop had ran out of the letter 'N' so they made do with 'L' at the end instead.

That wouldn't matter, the only thing that counts is where he was when the ball was played to him, another inch or 2 closer the passer and the goal would have stood.

James for me. Played the game like it was any old game, just did his thing.
