Match Thread Liverpool vs Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[witchdoc187]

best to try to remember where we are in the league, how long we have been there and why

Bournemouth, Saints, Leeds?

Leeds no. The other 2 we are on par with or probably worse on an average day.

 

[riddick]

I just dont get how we play against Liverpool, especially there. We should be going in HARD on those plicks. They should be limping off the pitch.

Leeds will be up for it big style after seeing us against the RS.

and we have to be

There is absolutely no one to vote for in the MOTM poll. I can't remember feeling this way in ages.

I'm abstaining.

I voted Onana but he was also meh

 

[blindbert]

Finding it very hard to pick a MOTM from that list

Serious question time: how long do you think it will be before we play at Anfield again?

20 years

This is the way. There are so many derbies like this too, where we looked like we had a good chance coming into it. We go again next weekend. Need 7 wins. Let's forget and move on.

7 wins from 16, 9 of which are against teams in the top 9 including Brentford, Chelsea, Spurs, Man Utd, Newcastle, Brighton, Man City, Arsenal. The other teams we have are all improving like Villa, Wolves, Forest, Leicester..... Thats 12 I`ve named the other 4 are Fulham, Palace, Bournemouth and of course Leeds......

Tough tough ask to stay up from here...... IMO

Home games left are Leeds, Villa, Brentford, Spurs, Fulham, Newcastle, Man City & Bournemouth..... Home form isnt going to cut it we need some wins on the road.

That's the worrying bit Matty.

The last time we play them for a while.... Might meet them in a carabao cup draw or something.

Something relieving about this. I suddenly feel at peace.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I'm not happy with that performance. Lack of grit and abject levels of quality

But we wont

 

[glory_daze]

Win Saturday and we’re out the drop zone. Focus on that.

This everton side won't beat Leeds, ask yourself would we have been 2-0 up at old Trafford last week ?

 

[kiss the crest]

Hate losing the derby but very poor? I’m not sure about that mate.

We did our usual game against them, rabbit in headlights sort of game, any fan who comes on here and says our midfield will destroy theirs, must be very young as the last time that ever happened was when we had Peter Reid in the team, we always fold against this lot and it does my head in, there is never any fight when we play these.
Pathetic

 

[Toffe3m4n]

They had an 8 day window to rest & prep for that game so I'm struggling to accept that that was the best that they could do against a struggling team with a wobbly midfield & back four..

It mainly comes down to mentality for me. Still so, so poor....
