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

Just a thought - if you overturn a 2-2 draw do you get a 2-2 draw? Okay that's a point each then

How sad.
You can't own up to what happened.
You have to find some kind of pathetic "well you did that.."
You all know Pickford is not fit to be Prem goalkeeper . There have been many posts about that.
And if you had any decency you would be disowning what he did. Exactly the kind of hysterical behaviour you have talked about at length, but this time causing harm to an opponent
But I see none of that.
Nor does anyone concede you got the benefit of a bad decision re Henderson's goal All the bollocks about VAR and brown envelopes is unsupported by any evidence. As if, in any case, there is some kind of divine scoreboard
You should be embarrassed.

You should /will be banned
You sad sad person
Imagine pretending to support your rivals so you can lurk around their forum
YOU really need to have a long hard look in the mirror and examine your life choices
Sniffing women's bicycle saddles is considered a criminal offence and you should cease and desist immediately

Is it?? Asking for a friend.

Edit, I suppose it depends if the rider has got off or not when my friend is sniffing it

Jesus.

Plays for Man City so not relevant in this thread

Pickford ran out with the sole intention of kicking the ball into row Z. Van Dyke ran in trying to get to the ball and create a scoring chance. They weren't trying to
injure each other and Pickford could easily have been the one to come off worse. Perhaps neither would have been hurt and the ball would have gone out
for a throw in or a corner.

This. Both players were running in to get the ball and they both missed, so you could argue it was an assault by VVD on Jordan. The way everyone is going on you might think VVD had been stretchered off with a multiple fracture rather than walking off.
I can just imagine the fume on here if Jordan hadn't gone for it and a goal resulted!!!! And as someone else has pointed out, if it had been down at the other end between Keane and Adrian, with Keane being the one injured, I'm sure all the critics would be blaming him not Adrian (goalkeepers need to be protected from reckless players running in on goal blah blah blah etc etc).

Before the game I expected us to get beaten convincingly, I never expect much in a derby, I can’t be disappointed then.

The most satisfying thing about the Derby and even in other games this season is how we have comeback from going behind. The mentality and confidence in these players is a world away from Silva.

Gomes is definitely the weak link in the midfield, even at his best he is not someone who creates a lot. With Allan and Doucoure doing all the donkey work we need someone more creative who can make things happen, Gomes is neat and tidy but we deffo need a bit extra if we really want to challenge.

I always rated Gomes but James and Allan are the new standards
Gomes needs to be replaced or else step up to the plate

the chief RS at my work is absolutely steaming, its awesome, I am poking that bear constantly, eventually he will blow if I play my cards right

lol

Its the anticipation of the explosion and seeing how far you can go before it happens is the best bit

So another sad sack been outed, har, har, har.
Yes it was a bad tackle and no one is condoning that. But hey, have yet to see any of their fans embarrassed by anything.

I blame VVD for not timing his run properly, if he came from an onside position, injury could have been avoided.

Enjoyed my daily team catch-up in work earlier lol (they're both reds)

I'll bite, even though it's a barely legible response so obvious it's from a knuckle dragging red.

1) Own up to what? What is it do you want me to own up to? The fact a decent game was a draw? That your centre half tried to injure 2 players in the first two minutes (and succeeded with James)? Or that a much smaller goalkeeper rashly went to try and block a ball and unfortunately caught a player? Or that Mane deliberately kicked Mina? Or Robertson deliberately kicked Allan? Which bits do you want me to own up too? What are you owing up to?

2) I am not sure anyone did anything on this forum, other than watch the game on TV. Yet you seem to want me to own up to something, yet if someone asks you about far more clear fouls in their intent you refuse to do so. Why is it ok for you to come on and shout the odds about an unfortunate incident, but deliberate acts of violence on the pitch you are not prepared to comment on? This is not consistent.

3) What have Pickford's abilities as a goalkeeper got to do with anything? Again, what is your point? He's a talented but flawed goalkeeper. What is your point?

4) What does disowning it even look like in this context? You seem to assume I have some ownership of it to begin with, how are you working that out? It was a needless, rash challenge, typical of a goalkeeper and exactly why most of them tend to stay on their line (as they can't tackle). It's been disowned, but that is evidently not enough for you.

5) You see none of what? Look above if you want some disowning.

6) I'm sorry but how is it a "bad decision"? They see whether a player is standing in an offside position or not. He was. A more accurate way to look at this is Liverpool nearly benefitted from being in an offside position and therein gaining an unfair advantage. Why can't you take a piece of your own advice, and for once, just be big enough to accept that VAR gave the correct decision and didn't allow a team to win a game that they didn't deserve to?

7) What is this talk of brown envolopes. Your captain came on national TV and told the world "they bend the lines". Who is the "they" he speaks on? Where is his evidence for a bent line? The line was straight. He didn't like the fact it was straight but beyond the defenders line. To suggest there was bending of the lines, is a scurilious accuation. Maybe you could take the opportunity to either substantiate this conspiratorial talk, or offer some recompence on his behalf?

To conclude, if you're going to come and shout the odds, at least have some idea what you want to talk about, don't have your knuckles dragging on the flaw, try to write in vaguely coherent sentences, and try to support what you are saying with a little thing called evidence so it resembles something approching reality. I hope my answers have helped educate you a little bit. Exposure to brighter people will help you reds in your flawed pursuit of adulthood. All the best.

Bravo.

You eloquently put down what I wouldn't have wasted my own time on in response to that idiot.

Be nice to him. Tell him you wish VVD well and you feel bad for him. He won't know what to do.

 

[DanB90]

So is this game now going to be known as ‘The Pickford Derby’ or is that still reserved for the other one?

 

[4737carlin]

The media reaction today is unreal, its all against us, to me that shows they know we have a serious team this season, and they hate that, ITS ON LADS!!
