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

[Camboselecta]

So.......just found out we drew the game thanks to some sweet VAR'ing. I watched the whole game but rage quitted as soon as Hendo scored and I just had the balls to look at social media. haha what a result! Its always that lot getting the luck.

Hate to see players getting bad injuries but if it has to be anyone may as well be the only defender they have. Them lot are clearly a top 4 side with their 4 great players but with out them mid table mediocrity looms. Hopefully Salha next and then they are done.

Shame about Richy, never seemed in it but at least put a proper derby tackle in. Not sure what was going on with Gomes. Thought Hamez showed his huge defensive frailties. Godfrey looked ok. UTFT!

there isnt a football in tescos that both people are competing over... I actually think the press are making out pickford went for him on purpose.... Its not like he punched him the ball was there to be won.

It was a desperate last ditch attempt to make a save and ended up being a poor challenge. The idea he tried to deliberately injure him is ludicrous.

Maybe if it’s not a football action, like if you just run up as the offside is being called and chin somebody, a bang-bang play like that is different

Maybe mate, he never actually quoted the rule he just gave examples of it happening recently I think

Never understood this "if you did it in the street" argument.

I've never jumped for a header with another pedestrian on the way to work or gone in for a 50 50 challenge up the aisle in Tesco

Dunno mate, it gets a bit rowdy near closing time when they start refusing the bakery goods lol

The penalty couldn't have been given but Pickford could and should have been sent off.

He should be Knighted!

Would be a bit strange for Pickford to go and two foot tackle an innocent bystander in Liverpool city centre.

He's odd, I wouldn't put it past him

 

[Rob17896]

Still some work to be done on the mentality - taking away the luck of the ridiculous VAR decision we lost our heads and lost a Derby in injury time AGAIN.

As soon as Richarlison got sent off they were scoring, and Pickford again showed that he couldn't deal with pressure by making a mess of that shot. Second time in three years he has made a mess last minute against them

I've lost count of how often it happens.

No chance are we beating them at Anfield so at least another year til we get the chance to try this again. Hopefully the psychological side is dealt with by then. And a new goalkeeper would help too....

Pickford did nothing wrong today and I am his worst critic.

there is one thing you can be sure of... i bet we draw them in the 3rd round of the FA cup

This whole event has shown the power that the RS hold in the media.

I remember this one for Wolves last season. No uproar. No petitions. No one in the media cared, because it didn’t affect ‘their’ club.

For what it’s worth, I think they’re both onside - the Wolves one, and today.

Without getting the lines out, to the eye, they’re level. But that not how VAR does it. I remember for the Wolves one, I said - he’s onside there but VAR will overrule. Exactly the same today, but all of a sudden we need an overhaul of the rules, and VAR is a disgrace.

The media is infested with them.

Don’t care as long as it works in our way then it’s all good.
