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

[kiss the crest]

Gray for me did more than any attacking player for us.

How the hell has McNeil got that many votes, he was dreadful

 

[Rapidvienna]

Bad thing is it doesn’t even hurt anymore, it’s just expected.

WRONG ! It hurts....it always hurts, especially where there is no fight...why didn't gueye take a yellow for the first ... and someone do similar for the second. Do we not like fighting, tackling and showing a bit of pride anymore ? Yeah it hurts .... A LOT !

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

That Leeds side had two chances to beat United in 4 days and failed both times, I’d have fully expected us to shut up shop at 2-0 at OT

We have bottled derbies all my life mate

And mine mate, my first Derby was September 1985, we had our greatest side ever yet we were 3-0 down at half time at home to them,ended 3-2 but it was a sign of a lifetime of hurt to come for me.

You are too polite Joey
I'm embarrassed and fuming about that abject pathetic performance
No clue
No idea
Very poor players

Abject is the perfect description mate. With the exception of Onana and possibly Gray ne Maupay who were hardly on, they should hang their head in shame.
I have seen team after team exploit the space Arnold leaves behind him. We barely even tried.
They owe us big time vs Leeds. We will see.

18 year old lad bosses our midfield
Embarrassing

Listening to The Guardian Football Podcast a couple of weeks ago and the various pundits were saying if you need a confidence booster the team you want to be facing is Everton. Wolves had won one in nine, Soton something similar, Bournemouth one in 12, and West Ham were on a dismal run. Step up Liverpool, also in terrible form and they’re gifted 3 points. We now face Leeds who’ve forgotten how to win matches. I fully expect them to win on Saturday.

Apart from one nice cross I think he's been very wasteful

He has but he is a centre mid and has always been middling on the wing

 

[BlueTX]

We were second best.

Had you turned round and said we’d get 3 points from Arsenal and Liverpool, you’d have taken it. So it’s progress.

All true. That said, the composure and awareness displayed in the Arsenal game disappeared far too often in this match. Leaves one to wonder, even if that's insane given, you know, Everton.

 

[DualityNSNO]

I'm telling my Mrs who isn't from Liverpool about Funes Mori's sending off in the derby back when, whilst it was kicking off.

Onana can get MOTM on his reaction to that alone.

He's young...but he does care.

At least that, true.

Rough so far but there’s a player in there at least

 

[PhilM]

Dyche was always about the home form, and that’s why I went in with little confidence. Next week is massive, but perspective is needed.

Had you turned round and said we’d get 3 points from Arsenal and Liverpool, you’d have taken it. So it’s progress.

After my initial disappointment, I think this perspective is the sensible one: it's three points from two tough, tough fixtures. We'd have taken that all day.

What's important now is Dyche reacts to tonight's dire performance and ensures we react positively against Leeds, which will be a difficult fixture.

Our home form is our most important part of our safety.

Not a home game is my bet

 

[glory_daze]

Gave it to Gray, the only one who looked like he belonged in the Premier league. Our midfield was overran by two veteran midfielders and a skinny kid.

Worst everton midfield ever,even Tom Cleverly would walk into it.

I agree only our great teams win there not that shower of guttless performers some of them far too slow too old - Frank should have been sacked after the Bournemouth game to give any new Manager a chance the teams around us they all beat us - devastating results ....
A draw would have been fine tonight - we just rolled over & gave them it - our two fullbacks were a big problem.....

This is what these players do. One good performance and they will try to live off it for weeks. The drop off today was unacceptable but this is who they are. A group of players who are not good enough for this level and nowhere near as good as they think they are.
