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

[Yorkie89]

The funniest thing i have now read about this from the rags is that the liverpool dressing room are devastated and the team struggled to sleep after learning about VVD injury haha. We have definitely ruined them whoop whoop

Just watch, they are going to get so many calls their way the next few games after the meltdown and temper tantrum they have been throwing, you know the league will bend their knee to them and let them get away with anything and give them any favor at any moment

I think quite the opposite mate.

The way they’re throwing their toys out of the pram over the ‘project control’ idea being rejected and their whole deviousness about it all I think last weekends decision has some bearing on this. Now that ‘Hendo’ has come out and called all the officials cheats and said they edit the footage, along with more toys being thrown out of the pram with the resurfacing of the ‘Euro super league’ I think the days of them being gifted all sorts and getting away with murder are over.

Just seen the clip of Merson commenting on the Kean stamp while playing for PSG.
The snide remark, "oh he's on loan from Everton " not funny.

Looks like instead of the nice Cinderella story, of the little train that could, we are gonna be the bad boys for this season at least to a lot of the media.

That's fine. Makes any success we get more enjoyable knowing we are making so many real fans and so many clowns foam at the mouth lol

This is it. Best way to deal with stuff like this is to just keep quiet, keep our heads down, work hard, just keep playing well and picking up points. Let them be bitter, jealous, vile and envious let them spit at us and show their disgust. We’ll just carry on as usual going about our business and hopefully it will lead us to some success.

Not wrong, it's not the worst strategy tbf.
On the subject of bend the knee though, I'm surprised they do it during their games, what with their public display of defending racism in the past, in fact, when it comes to racism, they literally got the T-Shirt.

He's an absolutely horrible person merson.

I'm absolutely frothing at the mouth here!
Getting that wound up, I think I'm going to morph into that Michael Douglas character in Falling Down.

I ignore most TV heads. Carragher was brilliant though with Souness.

I am still gutted we didn't make more of the last seconds free kick, especially with James delivering to Mina, Keane and DCL. Imagine the fallout if that had gone in!

See in the media that the police are having to get involved now because of the ‘threats and hate crimes’ being aimed at Pickford and Richarlison. I assume the media themselves will also be charged for their own part in inciting this kind of behaviour too?

 

[svenboss]

Every man and his dog moaning about how over the top our tackling was in that game. Even the mutant potato head Troy Deeney. Have these idiots even watched the full game? VVD started the rough stuff and committed two bookable offences before Pickford did the refs job for him. If VVD is booked for either one, the tone is set by the ref. The ref had no control over the game due to this and they got away with some serious vicious, snidey tackles. What did they expect to happen? They are a bunch of hypocrites.

That's the problem, most of these people haven't watched the full game. Just a few clips and selected tackles.

It's like Garth Crooks and his embarrassing team of the week where he just picks any defender who scores. Never watches, but just goes off highlights and goals

Overall pretty reasonable ref'ing even if you take the whiners calls into consideration.
Even if we if ignore that VVD went through the back of two players before Pickford's involvement you have the Richarlison getting tugged in the pen area, Robinson kicking Allan

For me it goes:
* VVd - Yellow
* Pickford red
* Richy earns a pen (almost certainly a goal so 3-2)
* Robinson Red
* Richy red
* Offside hsould of been allow

3-3 instead of 2-2 and Liverpool lose an extra player.

Dunno, but that's how I saw it at the time, but I don't have the game to fall back on, so could just be biased.

I'm sure that deep down, one or two of their squad were whooping and a hollering knowing they're likely to get a game now.
