Match Thread Everton V Liverpool. Sun April 19. 2pm

[Bez2k2k]

Seen their goal back once and already know it’s a foul

Felt robbed in more ways than one, for once I had confidence we were going to turn that lot over.
We still need to massively improve our squad to kick on for next year we haven't got any strength in depth in any one position.

I haven't seen the match yet, haven't read this match thread beyond kick off, but I know the result.

I'll watch it later, maybe the 25 minutes highlights, and I'm just hoping we were robbed.

 

[gonetomorrow]

We got lazy and bang it was 2-1.

Isak and Wirtz cost more than our entire starting XI. If Moyesie is backed this summer, we will be in contention for a top 4 place next season.

We got lazy and bang it was 2-1.

Actually the subs for Beto and Branthwaite were lazy and bang.

Barry should get sold as soon as the window opens. Absolute rubbish.

I cant get over this loss and wont for weeks.

I and everyone else here have seen derby losses before but the way we folded as the second half progressed and the inability of that bellend in the dugout to stop it happening was soul destroying. Like a deer caught in headlights waiting for the collision.

The turnout and support from our fans today and the atmosphere generated in our new stadium was all there and top class, and then to see that lot with a poor team gradually push for a winner and get it in the last seconds has floored me.

Symbolically, that is an almighty blow.

The 1st one for KDH ?
The 2nd is not a pen

You need to watch the 1st one again , as do VAR thats a pen.
He bundles him off the ball in full stride , its a foul very simple.

I don't think anyone is seriously arguing that it wasn't a stonewall penalty.

Those lads did not deserve to lose that one.

No we won't and in your heart of hearts you know it. You're just being emotional.

[Poor language removed] the bed again..Deserve what we got..3 choice goalie didn't have a cross to catch..First derby I can recall with no yellow card for a tackle..[Poor language removed] bags

We've got 4th before under Moyes, albeit many years ago. He also got us many, many top 6 finishes.

Its not about the big decisions, its all about the ones that seem inconsequential. Pickford getting booked for raising an issue with the referee, Liverpool not for delaying a restart. Giving an offside for a player that hasn't touched, or attempted to touch a ball rather than the corner. No card for Isak after attempting to prevent Pickford from kicking it long. They kicked the ball at Ndiaye from their dead ball in an act of petulance, missed and it dropped to KDH. The ref lets them take it again.

Despite all this though, that was on us today. They were there for the taking and we failed to do so. If we had Lukaku or similar quality we'd have been 3 up at the half, but alas.

Spot on

Looking back at that opening half an hour is painful because it was there for us. Then McNeil does something stupid and the game transformed.

Easy in hindsight but we should have just shut up shop in added time. The chance of us creating something with Barry and George on the pitch had gone. We could've done with hauling the latter off and putting a decent midfield presence in there to shore things up and give us more height from corners.

That is what disappoints me about Moyes. Barry comes on and in ten minutes you can see he is not interested. Sub him.

Can hear the tv sound is suppressing the noise.

Has a ‘below water’ sound to it

It was deafening, according to my nephew.

Louder than Goodison ever was

That was then. In today's PL you need a manager who takes calculated risks and makes attacking changes.

Unfortunately Moyes is still stuck with the same mentality he had when he was here the first time.
