Match Thread Liverpool v Everton, FA Cup 3rd Round, Friday 5th Jan 2018

[Fansince1988]

Considering the lack of quality we have in certain areas, we did ok tonight.
Massive rebuilding needs to be done.

A fair few did well tonight, Martina was very dodgy but the other 3 in defence did well as did Snides and McCarthy sigs and Bolasie all did ok. Rooney was very poor as was DCL also Pickford dived to early for the pen and made the ultimate mistake.

 

[Runcornblue52]

Gutted but would like to take some positives from it. Siggy looked comfy central. Bolasie is now putting us on the front foot. Lookman did well. We have 2 cracking young players in Kenny and Holgate. If we carry on playing like that and this Tosun is actually better than DCL and Naisse then things could pick up.

Better performance than the last game there but we actually got a point back then and come away losers tonight.

I honestly believe that the future looks good with the likes of Pickford (at fault tonight though) Lookman, Vlasic, Kenny and Holgate. The improvement from the latter 2 is really encouraging. Bolasie caused them problems tonight and helped us relieve pressure. Saying that I thought the old man Jags had a great game.

I am remaining positive and just hope Alladyce gets the left back and maybe another striker in and a top notch midfielder.

Yes to all that and Jags MoM for me .

 

[banno]

Better performance tonight. If we carry on like that , we'll soon be moving up the table .

I agree is was a better performance but we still lost. It's a fine balance and just hope Alladyce brings in the right players to address the balance. It was good to see 2 wingers causing problems and would be nice if Alladyce sees it as the way forward

Seriously though how crap must Ox be to not create any havoc going up against Cuco

jags saved him loads

 

[Gladystweet]

Our season is done in January. How depressing.

What's new?

 

[zzr45]

For me, final sub should have been Vlasic for Bolaise and kept DCL on. Think he would of kept them pinned back.

 

[deipnosophist]

Rome wasn’t re-built in a day and, (back to the PL), I think we’ll lose to Spurs. But if we can keep the ball on the grass, I reckon we’ll scare the pants off West Brom. I would still bite your hand off for a 0-0 if it were offered right now, but west brom (whilst they might be every bit as good as us), are beatable

 

[Muggins]

Can't wait til we get our act together and we routinely tw*t the RS home and away.

I’ve been waiting most if not all of my life.

 

[overkill]

So tosun only confirmed after Barkley has been confirmed.
Makes you think we don't have money and were spent up for the window now.

Even if we are, I'm sure there is a left back available on loan or a free agent who's better than martina

 

[Barnfred 55]

Hopefully Allardyce will learn from tonight that there is more than one eay to play.

On a horrible day to be an Evertonian the boys gave it a good go tonight. Just seen the pen decision. Joke.

If we play with the same comnitment for the rest of the season we'll be fine. Special word for Jags. In the 30 mins I saw he was brill.

 

[LiamG]

It was Pickfords fault nobody else, there was no need to go out for that. If he had stayed on his line, we would of drew.

I doubt he would have saved the header had he stayed on his line. He needed to win the ball.

 

[dublinbluenose]

It will be interesting to see if the club take it any further.

A lot depends on what truly madly deeply puts in his report.

Ox is distinctly average. As if Arsenal would sell a half decent player to a direct rival.

Mate, there's still the 7th place champions trophy.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

and if it burst the back of the net would you have said he should have passed it.....hindsight. He had every right to go for it.

His goal record is poor, Siggy was in a good position. Hindsight has little to do with it, he should have chosen the option which is more likely to lead to a goal.
