Match Thread Liverpool v Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[LucBesson]

Always did. Always did the stick the leg out to make contact to look like he's been fouled. He should have had a far greater reputation than he did for being a diver.

It's because he's English. Kane was/is the same.

For all of what people have said about us and how we played.

Man Citys title is very safe, I see nothing in the RS team to make me think they will be anywhere near them, or even Arsenal.

I agree they don't look anywhere near either of them but we all know they get a bit of momentum going, and favourable decisions soon follow. They wont be far off but hopefully they have some of the bad luck other teams get with injuries to key players and they'l stutter.

They've already had 2 dodgy pens this season. The midfielder from Leipzig who dived to win a pen (was it against Bournemouth?) and Nunez dive (was that against Fulham?) and nothing ever gets mentioned how they were game changers.

They've got more than enough firepower up top to win games they don't deserve to and in the main most decisions go their way. They'll be right up there unfortunately.

Yes they will always get that luck too.

City are top of the lgeaue, while recently losing 2 in a row, and have 2/3 of their best players out...they will win it at a canter.

I mean if it stayed 11 v 11 it wouldnt have made a difference. We had offered nothing up to then

Neither had they

The time has come for Everton to take all the players off the pitch the next time we are blatantly robbed / cheated in protest.

For example, just the last two games against them, the sending off and incorrectly disallowed Coady goal. The list of robbed / cheating is as long as your arm.

It’s the only action we have left. And it would make headlines the world over, what’s the worst they could do?

forfeit the game 3-0, no point turning up and getting yellow/red cards in the process. Give them the game.

Poor stats against a poor Liverpool performance. Damning.

You know where the finger was pointing by those stats.

those stats are completely misleading when we consider that for 60 minutes, it was 12 vs 10, of course our stats will be crap.

With 11 v 11 or 10 v 10 the stats would of been pretty much the same and the result.

The refs poor display deflects away from what i thought was again a poor performance, ok defensively but no idea how to attack by passing the ball.

Spot on. I also think they were knocking the ball around with no end product...and full marks to our defenders on that score... so their rates also reflect that excess. I switched off after the pen was given knowing the script - its a wonder Konate hadnt been left on and then scored the pen to follow the usual template.
I was surprised though how ordinary they looked throughout in large tranches.
