Match Thread Everton v Liverpool Sat - 7th April 12:30ko

[Saint Domingo]

Baines and Jagielka are completely finished at the top level. Keane will never be at the top level. Our defence and midfield is woeful.

Will never happen with Rooney and Bolasie on the pitch.

Et al

 

[peteblue]

You're right . Even though we knew what you meant

Doing well so far . As in not losing , yet

They look the more composed side though. Both keepers doing well and at least no brain dead defensive mistakes from us so far.....

 

[Sy-]

Absolutely no point pressing like we are when Rooney just loses possession in the middle, we'll run out of steam. Walcott clearly wants to run at his man, but he's not getting it.

Baines is covering Ings so Bolasie is not getting a chance to get forward because he has to cover Clyne.

I would take Rooney out, put Gueye in deeper, allow Bolasie to push forward and forget trying to hit Tosun all together.

Playing 8 at the back

Things BFS doesn’t understand
Everton

We need shut of this dinosaur

 

[bluestevon]

..yep, wide man invariably left unmarked and their central midfielders playing between the lines. As with the City game, once the opposition get beyond us there’s no coming back. We know about the lack of quality, but we also lack organisation.

For me sums up why Jagielka is a joke as captain mate as well, if you're not getting it from the manager you at least need someone doing it on the pitch

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Wishing we had Lookman to come on in the second half to replace Bolasie. But, Sam knows best.

 

[Tin-Tin]

Was thinking that. Aren't they only really missing Firmino, Salah, possibly Can and Lallana if they were fit? And we're missing Gueye and Sigurdsson.

TAA/Gomez are first choice RB, Robertson first choice LB. Can, Lallana, Salah, Firmino all starters. The only proper first teamers they have out are VVD, Henderson and Mane.

Not a single player on the bench to even look forward to either

 

[ADT]

We should all be grateful for having Sam to master a 0-0 first half draw against a reserve team

 

[Adam-GOTTV]

Total anti-climax this is. No atmosphere, no nerves whatsoever. Doesn't even feel like a derby

I'm in the lower GS and the first 20 minutes at least the crowd did have a go. We've had little back tbf.

 

[blue to the bone]

Sad to see them missing their best attacking threats and not totally up for it yet they are still a much better side..
We don't look like we even want to win. Its Liverpool yet by the passion shown it could be Watford or Huddersfield we are playing.
Our identity as a club has been sucked away the last few years.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

Baines and Jagielka are completely finished at the top level. Keane will never be at the top level. Our defence and midfield is woeful.

Sounds promising for the second half then. Might even get a 0-0 here.

 

[Jonte]

I’m non-plussed about a non-plussed Derby. Can’t even summon the enthusiasm to comment.

He will take the credit and put it down to his tactics
