Oh well.

In all reality that may actually be the last Merseyside derby for a long time.

Guaranteed will get them in the league and Fa cups next year - so not necessarily.

 

[Drico]

Excellent fight but where the hell has that level of commitment been all season?!

Absolutely pathetic that the players only decide to show up for these games.

With the exception of Gordon, I’m not having the I’m proud of the players nonsense. We lost and are now in the bottom 3! Just ridiculous

And if you were really harsh you could make the argument that they turned up today because the pressure was off - everyone had written this one off as one of Moshiri's "expected" defeats. I wouldn't be that uncharitable today - they lost to a brilliant side at a place where you are also playing the ref. But I will hold them to this standard starting from the very next game.

No time for feeling sorry for ourselves. We are in the mire now and only we can save ourselves. Burnley were not going to lie down. The question now is: will we?

But for corruption we would have had something there.

Lampard HAS to say something

it doesn’t get us points

 

[GotTheBlues]

referee bottling a clear penalty on Gordon at 0-0 killed us, need a bit of luck when playing a team that good and unfortunately we didn’t have it

I don’t think it’s about luck any longer, with the advent of VAR it’s either incompetence, bias or corruption.

 

[lungo]

Thought we played well today and didn't deserve that, as others have said our season starts Monday, they will take a lot from that

Played well? Nope we didnt play. We defended well for 60 minutes. Then Holgate, Coleman and Keane were to tired (stamina is laughable throughout the team) and concentration out of the window.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Frank should say nothing! 12 games lost 8 times. That speaks for itself. I think he should get the sack. The last cards without much hope!

We've actually been getting generally much better in games since he came in. The attitude has been better too. The fact that what we are comparing it too before is so low, so that 'better' still doesn't add up to much, is not his fault.

He has made bad tactical and selection decisions at times, but it is not his fault he has a team full of defenders who can't defend, midfielders who can't rum or pass, a CF who isn't interested and a side where the previous manager thought it was a good idea to sell all of its creativity.

Ultimately if you have a team that can't defend or score, it goes down. Can't lay the blame at Lampard's door for that, no one else could keep this team up. Maybe if they had a full transfer window wo work with- but the same could be said about Lampard.

 

[Mat70s]

First half was embarrassing and would've had every neutral wanting us to go down, second half made them work for it and actually played.

What would you like Everton to do away at Liverpool?

 

[Colonel Getafe]

liverpool had 3 shots in the first half

they finished the game with 18 shots lol

Yeah but WE won the "good effort" award. That's what matters. That'll be something we can hold over them and talk about for 30 years when we're planning our away trips to Hull and Stoke, as they're moving things about trying to make room in the trophy cabinet.

 

[tommye]

It's like I've been watching the same derby on repeat for 50 yrs.
Only the names have changed.

Never got anything at that shithole, doubt we ever will.

Nah, they'll just call him out as sour grapes and the Rs media circus will roll on...

 

[Dunc's elbow]

Always disappointed when we lose, but thought we would get a shafting today. Should’ve had a pen, maybe it makes it a different game. Take this spirit and fight onwards and we might be ok.

 

[Goat]

Played the best team in Europe there today and didnt shame ourselves, doesnt help us stay up or nothing, but cant fault the effort today.

On to the next.

 

[Big_Duncs_Fod]

To bad these bottlers haven't shown anywhere near as much fight this season as they did in that game.

Both games vs City and Liverpool, VAR has totally screwed us from anything. They are doing anything to keep the title race going

The year is 2079, in the least likely event that has ever happened in human history Liverpool have resigned Divock Origi for one game to play against Everton. Origi is an old man, half blind and has lost both legs to diabetes. Divock Origi scores against Everton.
