Match Thread Everton v Liverpool, Wednesday 1st December 20:15

Ref is a bottle-job.

Change ref to everton and I would agree.

 

[Lob]

As much as as i despise the RS, i would be made up if our players showed even half the passion, aggression and game management that the scum do. Most of them won't even put their hands up for a throw in and would never dream of trying to cream it and circle a ref.

 

[davidloach]

why does every other rs supporter look like an ogre

 

[MikeH72]

I actually hate ours more

This 14000%

 

[maccavennie]

They’re miles better and set up right

Miles and Miles and miles and miles mate.

35 minutes in he hasn't changed a thing.

 

[GedMoore]

You wouldn’t see league 1 sides put in as bad a performance as this

 

[TheBigIguana]

They’re miles better and set up right

There are going to be 6 matches this season where unfortunately this is going to be all that really matters.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Our inability to put together a meaningful counter attack is pathetic.

 

[Runub]

Definitely lose players for red cards tonight, no for bad tackles but for RS moaning and with this threadbare squad we can’t afford suspensions

 

[Saint Domingo]

Doucoure can’t get into it

 

[zukai12_]

Must be time for a fan protest

 

[f.t.r.s]

Even got the ref man marking our players now

 

[Bohemian Toffee]

I don't think you can blame anyone but the manager for this. We've all seen what has happened over the past few games, where he has had alternatives to the failing players but hasn't used them, and last Sunday refused to use them. Here they are again, its failing again and theres no sign of him planning to change it. Ergo, he goes.

Brands at least has the excuse that the club / Moshiri aren't using the DoF role in the way it needs to - yes, if we are going to keep doing that then theres no need for him but that isn't his fault.

All perfectly reasonable, I think Brands is the embodiment of the complacent culture that has mired us and he should either walk for his own professional integrity or be fired for being superfluous.

Benitez has to be gone, has to be. Set up completely wrong for this and it was obvious after 80 seconds and the Matip chance.

As you say, there will be no alternations just a stubborn adherence to what he thinks should be happening as opposed to what is happening.

The three most useless people in Everton - in order of uselessness from right to left

I’m that disinterested in Everton that I didn’t even know it was the derby until I incidentally saw the score on the BBC website. I felt nothing when I saw the scoreline.

If that isn’t a damning indictment on the ‘leadership’ of Everton, I don’t know what is.
