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

[Toffee in Jandals]

TAA is there starting rb - not a player who hasnt played a year, robertson is their starting lb, not there 4th choice cb, Lovren isnt first choice cb that'd be matip, so yeah it is a second string team we are playing mate.

Only first 11 players they are starting here are Henderson (whose suspended for the cl game), VVD, Karius, Milner/Lovren etc are squad/second choice players normally

Point taken. Forgot about their first-choice fullbacks.

Rooney is a yard/a second too slow in almost everything he does.
This standard is now beyond him without world class players around him.
Bolasie is just shades of useless.
We are carrying two players and Tom is having to run round like the old fashioned headless chicken because of it.

Beni. If you are good enough you are old enough.

To be fair, it was beyond him at United too. That’s why they let him go for nothing.

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.

Watford were way better than us at their place. And both were awful.

Still don't know why people are surprised with this team.

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.

And Karius and Milner. So just Salah and Firmino missing.

And Karius and Milner. So just Salah and Firmino missing.

Five changes for them end of and we still lump it long!

Well they're playing better than the last derby (one of the worst displays I've seen) and better than last week. At least they are trying.

That said, this team is so bad, couldn't create a decent chance all half.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Every day.

Thought he would pick up after the West Ham game but that was the high watermark of the comeback

 

[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.

we've also given them basically a training/fitness game today mate, disgusting for a derby we have nothing to lose in really...

 

[irishgoose]

Scherderlein, Rooney and Davies... Less credible than a CSI script.

How did Fat Sam think that those three could boss a game?

Literally laughed out loud. Thank you

BFS, HT team talk. "Stick at it lads. We've got them on the run. 0 -0, fantastic!"

 

[ADT]

GET THE BALL AND KEEP IT FFS

 

[kenada_blue]

Sounds like a training match.

 

[NiallDoobs]

We've been awful but for some strange reason I think we're going to win this. Niasse to score a late winner

You're adorable!

 

[blue to the bone]

Watford were way better than us at their place. And both were awful.

Not the point I was making. This is the Derby. Against our biggest rivals. But to watch it you would not think it .
