Match Thread Liverpool V Everton 20th September 12:30

[BirkenheadBlue]

3 minutes was objectively funny

Utterly unbothered by that result. The sad fact is we’re barely playing the same sport as them currently.

They brought on two SUBSTITUTES each of whom cost more (apparently) than 9 of our starting XI added together.

Was far more annoyed drawing to Villa

Well Said Jack

Better 2nd half. They were rattled and the officials knew it. Should've got a point

But every team they've played have said the same.

Yeah thing is even if obrien is at rb could do it if had atleast an attacking lb but we dont. Is like having 4 cb really. Hopefully we can finally see the club bring in a long term rb and aznou can kick on

Yeah exactly. You can probably get away with one being just there as a defender but both of them being unable to do anything in the final third is just a blessing for the opposition.

Yep. You just give their CM the freedom to double up on our wingers. Every time Ndiaye got the ball today he was surrounded

First half hour was terrible, decent after that, probably better team in the second.

Ref was a disgrace, right from the start he was giving them free kicks for very little, the added time was a joke.

Which means someone is free. We also have to be better at looking up and releasing the ball faster instead of always trying to wiggle out of it. A double and triple team can also be a gift from the other team.

 

[Abraders]

Annoyed at the refs, our record wouldn't be nearly as bad at the pit if it wasn't for blatant cheating and bias from the officiating over the years. Glad to see Jack calling it for what it is, perhaps if more do the same we might begin to see some change

 

[D410]

Corrupt game.

 

[PercyPlant]

And a goal

 

[JelavicBrate2]

Honestly I don't know why we even bother playing Manslaugter FC at Anfield, just give them 3 points and be done with it you can't lose almost every single away derby since 2016, and even treat this like a rivalry.

 

[matty1878]

Sorry you've lost me on what that is..

 

[ChesterBlue]

Honestly - the only things I’m annoyed about are the refereeing and the first 20 odd minutes.

Further than that we were the better team and deserved something. We’re showing good progress and Grealish is fantastic - I’d just chalk this one up to the usual dodgy loss at Mordor

To put things in perspective after today, 7 points from 15, in the past few seasons the first 5 have gone as follows

24/25 - 4 defeats, one draw (first win was game 6, we didn’t pass 7 points till 3 games later)

23/24 - 4 defeats, 1 draw (again first win was game 6, took 10 games to hit 9 points)

22/23 - 2 defeats, 3 draws (first win was game 7, hitting the 7 point mark)

21/22 - 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 defeat (flew out the traps here before the FSW tried to tank us)

20/21 - 4 wins, 1 draw (best start in years under the Don)

19/20 - 2 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats (same start as this for Marco’s last 1/2 season)

18/19 - 2 wins, 2 draws, 1 defeat (good start)

17/18 - 1 win, 1 draw, 3 defeats (poor start for Moonhead coupled with us labouring through the early Europa ties)

16/17 - 4 wins, 1 draw (when we all thought Moonhead would be a good manager)

15/16 - 2 wins, 2 draws, 1 defeat (good start to Martinez’ last season
