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

[johnjoeefc]

I've been watching crap like this for 30 years. Hard luck rubbish at anfield. Bias refs, and Everton losing again, fed up of it

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Moan about referees all you want but Ashley Young making that second challenge on a yellow card is as moronic as it gets. Michael Keane sticking his arm out before the ball is even kicked in an era where defenders put their arms around their back just sums him up.

You can mask the limitations of [Poor language removed] players but you can't cover up stupidity. This defeat is on them two.

You can say Young deserved it but then so did Konate. It was 0-0 at the time, different game at 10 v 10

Referee and VAR evening up the 'tremendous wrongs' done in the past to the other side of the park. (Did we expect anything else? It was an easy call for Howard Webb's PGMO referee retirement fund.) We had some very good performances (and some not so good Messrs Young and Keane) but a display that Dyche can be happy about.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Keane just needs to be punted out the club he’s a walking car crash of a footballer. Please just someone put that piece of cattle out to pasture already.

 

[ForeverEverton]

We haven’t thought have we? We held them off for 75 mins

No matter how the game goes, no matter what year.... the end result is always exactly the same!

But there is belters on here predicting wins, they really need to get a grip, why havent they learnt already? Is there something wrong with them?

Patterson is worse than Young

Young at least was very good until a few years ago. Patersson is a good championship player at best.

 

[Brigadier2]

If liverpool fans doubted the referee allegiance they know now. Absolute cheat.

 

[Andy McGurk]

Purely based on 1st half alone (didn't see 2nd) if Young doesn't get sent off, we sneak a draw in this game

 

[Davidoff]

And Paulson will be congratulate by the corrupt fa for a job well done by giving him another league match next week.

Just guaranteed himself his next contract

 

[cbrect]

As frustrating as this is and putting emotion to one side, they are top of the table and have spent a fortune, with a squad that is levels above ours and some world class match winners. Add to that the fact we’re playing at Anfield, it was a free hit for us today.

Let’s move on and focus on the matches we have a numerical chance of winning.

 

[gonetomorrow]

I dunno why the ref bothered to check VAR even. It was like the one by Romero of Spurs against Arsenal. Obvious handball but a load of time-wasting VAR. Get rid of it and get on with the game. It's ruining football.

The PGMOL apology game.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Not true, there are some quite obvious professional fouls. Problem with handball you dont have to do anything to get penalised, the opposition just need to try and hit the ball at your arm. With tackles you at least have to make a bad tackle to get booked.

Hence “pretty much”. The vast, vast majority, however, are clearly unintentional.

We can have zero complaints about the pen, and I guarantee the next time something similar happens in the oppo box, we’ll all be screaming for it in here.

 

[SJB]

Pawson to be stood down from officiating next week, they need to make sure he's fit for the next Liverpool home game.

 

[Gilbert..]

Cant see craig pawson up there as a nom for motm
