Match Thread Liverpool V Everton 20th September 12:30

[MidnightOrb]

Well...I woke up at 7am today so I could watch the match. It seemed to me that Liverpool was in complete control for most of the first half, and Everton didn't do enough when Liverpool got a bit disconnected for the first maybe 30 minutes of the second half. The announcers were talking about Liverpool's defensive woes, but they seemed to be a nuisance for the Everton attack. Still nice to see that goal in the second half, and Everton not allowing another goal.

Also, is it me, or does Graelish seem to fall down a lot?

Much improved second half — but we can’t start games like that

Night and day between how we played second half and what we saw last season. We looked far more controlled in possession, and with a bit of luck we might’ve nicked a draw. Credit to the players for showing real character to get back into it — having the likes of Jack and Dewsbury-Hall in the side makes a difference. They give confidence to their teammates and help settle things down.

Personally, I’d go with Garner and KDH in the middle against Wolves, Dibling on the right, and Ndiaye in the 10. Think that gives us balance and a bit more bite.
