Match Thread Everton 0-0 Liverpool - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

Good defensive performance. Shame we didn't take our chances - do we ever in Derby games?)

Very much had the feel of a friendly. Really don't see the point in seeing this season out in the way the league are.

We still need a quality CB, CM and LW/RW.

coleman decent this half

decent, the man gave a master class of how to defend against a player who could skin you, and while Iwobi didn’t do much going forward he worked his socks off covering that side. While we may be disappointed in the quality of the football we have just seen we have witnessed a Carlo masterclass in how to handle a team who are better than you. We played the European Champions and nailed on Premier League Champions and if Tom Davis had just been 3 inches to the right with that shot we would have won. I am am celebrating.

So glad that I didn't waste a second of my time watching that friendly because that's what all these games are going to be. Behind closed doors friendlies with zero credibility and totally unfit and disinterested players going though the motions. I don't know how anyone could expect these game to be different. Face it RS lurkers, even your own players don't want to play these games, it's written all over them and every other team.

.....happy with that, especially as I backed ‘no goalscorer’ @ 12-1 and put the matched in-play free bet on Digne to get booked next @ 6-1.

Two nominations for my MoM in Coleman and Davies. Davies should’ve won it for us and frustratingly gave the ball away a couple of times late on but I’m going for him because he did a lot of good work, especially with Gomes off the pace.

A word too for Ancelotti. I said before the game that this would be a big tactical test for him and I think he set the team up well. I was very happy with Ancelotti.

See what I meant earlier about the deep backline.

It was actually good defending, Tom did everything right.

Yep Gomez just did enough to deflect.

More annoyed we didnt go for it at 70+ mimutes.

 

[Bluebonic]

Im still in the shed mate.wife says I need to change my ways.
switched to the cider now

Mix it with weed killer mate, Donal Trump said on Twitter that it cures COVID, and Donald never lies!

 

[ForeverBlue92]

The funny thing is, apart from the Digne decision I though he did okay.

Same that aside wasn't that bad in fairness.

Just park the bus every game carlo. Keane is decent in his own box

I thought Keane looked assured today. Which is odd to say.

 

[Alan Whittle]

Thanks Lids. If City do a job tomorrow’s they can’t win it against us on Wednesday.Hoping Roy signs Dwight Gayle as an emergency loan just in case.
Very disciplined performance tonight. Well in.

 

[Walham Green Blue]

Good work chaps.

 

[Eggs]

See what I meant earlier about the deep backline.

...yep, we are forced to do that with the lack of pace we have. I doubt that would be the team model with different personnel.

 

[Milkman]

Really good defensive display at least. Coleman, Davies and Digne particularly good at the back. Everybody garbage with the ball, but that's no surprise.

 

[NathDogg]

Squad depth

Liverpool made their 5th sub after we made our 1st

Spot on this and a Joke the 5 subs, only helps the large squads.

We had cuco and two keepers with some okay-ish players - our squad is cack.

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

My God what a horrendous miss from Davies

Tough chance that, he's shifting his all his weight the opposite way in half a second. His best game in ages tonight.

 

[maccavennie]

Davies MOTM, Coleman 2nd for some great blocks and Holgate 3rd.

The rest were absolute pedigree chum
