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

I'd bring in Kone, if even for a bit of defensive solidity. We look very fragile on crosses.

Isn't Naismith a better bet defensively as well with his nous for winning headers. Ita gonna get more fierce 2nd half and you need a guy like Naismith to stir up some fuel. I'd change it if its 1-1 at 70 mins. Del though needs to get his act together. Having said you need to use him well too. He needs to be involved with Browing who hasn't assisted at all.

What time does this one start?

 

[Dexter]

They're right about Howard, he is going to cost us this season

 

[ftk43]

Oh, and seeing Drunken Darron at some point would be nice.

 

[Billy Dean]

Del created the goal and McCarthy chance too. He makes things happen. Give him a break

 

[flo]

Every time Howard leaves his box I get scared as hell.

 

[quasi modo]

Carragher and Henry spot on. If he can't claim from 3 yards what's the point of him being there, he's never going to save a point blank header inside the 6 yard box.

Happens every game, I have never seen a goalkeeper as less commanding of his 6 yard box as much as him.

Go out and clatter players to collect balls.

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

Del was poor but it was his delivery that led to the goal. If we take him off where's the creativity?

Have you seen the frequency, not to mention the absolute gash state of the balls being fed to him though?

 

[davies1878]

Hopefully give us a big boost scoring so late on In the half to push on

We play better second half too

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

I can't help but think how different our season would be with a top keeper like Lloris.

 

[peteblue]

The sky RS commentators don't seem happy for some reason........

 

[flibbyflob]

When the equaliser was scored who was expecting it to chalked off for some bizarre reason?

 

[rascal]

There's been a few times when Del has been in acres of space and was an easy pass but the ball went to the other flank. Pretty frustrating.

 

[deipnosophist]

Very good strike by Rom.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

I put him in my fantasy football team, so I can't be accused of a lack of faith. Think he'd be far more effective with Kone partnering him.

For the last half hour yeah, keep it as it is and get Naismith to kick Can a bit more and see if he cracks.
