Match Thread Everton vs Liverpool, Goodison Park, Oct 4th, 2015

[Dithering Dougie]

Oh and Lukaku holdup play and touch has been spot on.

 

[Blue & White]

Thank you Lukaku!

 

[Prevenger17]

For people who think Deulofeu is playing badly, the service he's receiving is as bad as the chronic lack of service for Rom last season. Someone like Kone or Gibson in the middle of the park will give us a bit of composure and some retention in midfield.

 

[The Esk]

Would consider bringing Lennon on for Deulofeu if nothing changes in first 10 mins of second half

 

[Saint Domingo]

Del has been calling for it on that side all half. The one time we get it to him in space he puts in the ball that we score from. Our midfield is utterly impotent giving him slow ball after turgid slow ball. Get Gibson on now for either of the anonymous crab twins.

 

[deipnosophist]

that 48 minutes flew by.

 

[riddick]

Twice Browning has kept one of them lot onside leading to a really good opportunity for them. He needs to do a lot better.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

can we stop putting barkley in the box when defending corners, i know he's a big lad but he's not too great in these situations

Don't understand why Lukaku doesn't come back and defend set pieces.

 

[AlE]

Don't forget 2 great saves by Mignolet. We should be ahead

This.

Reminds me of the 3-3 a couple of seasons ago, in that Mignolet made some amazing saves against us then too. Hope he goes to pot in the second half!

 

[navidson]

If Sakho starts on we'll win, out at least score more.

He's like a balls-up magnet. I've never seen such an awkward gangly mong playing at this level.

Djimi Traore says hi!

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Would consider bringing Lennon on for Deulofeu if nothing changes in first 10 mins of second half

Agreed.

 

[RFUS]

Indeed. And I don't know why Howard is allergic to coming off his line either. Any other keeper in the league comes for a ball in the 6 yard box surely.

Has to. Was so close to him.

A commanding keeper instils confidence in their defence, Howard instils fear.

 

[banno]

They look more organised than us but not carrying too much threat. Our only threat is the amount of corners we concede. Sloppy defending from a corner once again but feel must point the finger a little at Howard as I thought it was in his space to come out and collect or even punch. Del is out of sorts with his dribbling but still can deliver a mean cross. Think we have had the better chances but we are not firing on all cylinders. Few tweaks at half time and we could kill them.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Naismith not offering much and your have to say he missed a sitter too. I'd like to see Lennon on for him and Del switching to the left.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Typical scaredy cat derby display really. Struggle to find a team mate with a forward pass and all over the place defensively.

Luckily they're really crap too so even when we try our best to crap out and give them the game they aren't good enough to take advantage.

If it stays like this they'll win. If we actually start to play as if we're facing any other team we'll win.

 

[TheOldLady]

There splitting us open at the back far to easily

Naismith needs bringing off asap
