ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3


To be honest, if you turned around and told me, we'd compete for every trophy and lost every Derby for the rest of time, I'd be alright with it.

Everton first, everyone else second.

But i hope the new stadium is the catalyst we need to really kick on and establish ourselves back at the top.

Unfortunately beating them and winning trophies probably go hand in hand. They’re nearly always in the latter stages of most of the cups and challenging for titles so if we want to be back up there we need to be able to beat them consistently.
 
Why though? I don't get it?

Me and the old man were having a chat about this yesterday and the quote was

"Imagine if the roles were reversed, and we'd won the lot in the past decade whilst they struggled to stay alive... i wouldn't give a toss".

But all I've seen over the past 24 hours is the reds being in arms about being robbed, "cup final", "celebrating goals" etc...

Has it just came full circle? They're back to despising us? I hope so. Man Utd - Liverpool shouldn't he the rivalry.

Would love Everton - Liverpool to re-emerge as the big fixture moreso because Wednesday was just great entertainment, a throwback to previous derbies when it meant more to both sides.

Liverpool fans can’t be happy unless Everton fans are miserable. I’ve made this comment many times over the years, if they won the treble and we won the League Cup the same season it would completely ruin their season. They’d be furious. They really are just narcissists whose primary concern is whether other people are allowed to enjoy something that they can’t join in with. This isn’t a “minority of idiots” either, it’s the vast majority of them. It also isn’t the “out of towners” it’s all of them and in particular scousers to be honest. Scouse reds are the most bitter, unhinged, entitled mouth-foamers of the lot. They’re the ones that go out of their way to bring balloons and bedsheets to football matches.

They gather at Bongo’s Bingo and watch a fella sing very badly with a guitar songs about Liverpool players, not out of pride and enjoyment but purely to try and lord it over other people, that’s also why all their banners say “imagine being us” and other such cringeworthy aggressive nonsense. They don’t enjoy their own success, they just use it to try and make themselves feel like they’re better than other people. There’s nothing in their own lives they can use, because most of the time they’ve never achieved anything at all to speak of and have made football their entire personality, so they piggyback on the achievements of a football club in order to get that validation and sneer at the paupers (people that support football teams that don’t win as many trophies).

Look at their reaction to drawing a game. They’ve made this rivalry the most toxic in the entire Premier League and one of the most toxic in the country, and I fear one day it will completely boil over into something. It’ll be because of them, and they’ll try and use their weird online cult to flip the narrative the other way and blame us. You’ll get the Hillsborough shouts and everything. They are all deranged, more or less to a man. The last decade of them having everything their own way will just make things 10x worse, as we’re starting to see now with them not being able to mentally deal with failing to win a football match. They are dangerous people who are fundamentally psychologically damaged in my opinion.

Oh fully aware. It was more hypothetical for me.

Realise we're in the Liverpool thread, but trophies are more important to me than beating Liverpool.

If we can do both, perfect! But I'd sacrifice every derby game if it means a few pots and us competing.
 
This is from the guardian:

Do Everton deserve this? In a way the question makes no sense because this is a goal you cannot explain by logic, because there is no logic at work here, just a series of increasingly staggering coincidences. Michael Oliver does not blow for full time as Young lumps it forward. Abdoulaye Doucouré is not offside. Dominik Szoboszlai’s block smashes Mykolenko in the back of the neck and somehow lands at Mykolenko’s feet. Beto pushes Ibrahima Konaté and nobody notices.

In short: every bounce somehow goes the way of the team 30 league points belowtheir opponents but who desperately need this to happen. And so the cumulative effect feels like an entirely natural progression. It was no wonder Liverpool’s players and staff exploded so uncontrollably on the final whistle: they had been dragged into a place they couldn’t explain or understand, where the normal laws of input and output did not apply. To coin a phrase, perhaps for Everton this really did mean more.
“Beto pushes Ibrahima Konaté and nobody notices“
The more I watch the goal the less of an incident I see.

The internet has made everything worse.
Football and politics has become defend everything and attack everything in unison. No time
For nuance. No time to think that you don’t know the background of the guy who wrote that comment. Every idiots voice is given the same value.
 
*Sigh* it's embarrassing but I'm honestly considering writing a letter to Jonathan Liew.

Every article he writes in the flowery language he loves so much, banging on about our spending over the years.

The countless digs in that article after yesterday about the fans, the quality of the players, the clubs misdirection...

Not one good word about the character of the players who dug deep and left everything on the pitch. No it was all fortunate bounces and luck because how else could little everton ever match mighty reds (who were pap for a large part of yesterday.) We didn't salvage a deserved point because of our own quality no, it was all ThE mAdnEss oF FOoTball!

Posh weapon.

Something about our existence really offends him.
It's a shame because his cricket articles used to be a joy to read, he's gone off the wagon with football.

It is their big fixture.. VVD was nearly crying while he was trying to downplay it's importance to them, Slot's head popped off, Doucoure was assaulted and the fans went into a collective meltdown unmatched by anything we've seen before even the Pickford incident.

That's probably a bit of a stretch, mind.

But as a collective, I want the media to acknowledge this as THE big fixture. Liverpool players have never truly gotten over the Van Dijk incident. He in particular always gives an extra 10% in Derbies... which is why it was lovely to see him playing Doucoure onside on Wednesday night.

And Beto for the first. Beto takes up a great position between the centre halves. Konate had his back to him and Van Dijk didn't even move.

Van Dijk's biggest skill is being able to shift blame when they concede. He's often miles out of position when goals are scored. So much so that someone else gets blamed.

If you do write him a letter please call him a kopite rat or a gobshite

Absolutely spot on mate.

It's like being a Liverpool fan & 'hating' Everton is seen as character trait rather than anything specifically to do with the actual football these days, particularly amongst the 'Gen Z' crowd and a smattering of millennials.

That club has become so commercialised in the last 15-20 years that it's become a bit of a farce, well before Klopp rocked up but he arguably made it a lot worse.
