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

[blue to the bone]

I would rather that we did get a few more points. Take the risk factor out of the equation. And yes......we have another point.
So let's now beat Norwich City. And I for one am happy. Maybe then I can relax......And try and enjoy the rest of the season.
Our players might also enjoy the rest of the season. Pressure off and all that.
Pulling away from the bottom teams (for me) is better than getting pulled towards them. Up The Toffees......

I hope we win every game mate. But just saying relegation is not a worry. We have 11 points more then West ham, Bournemouth and 12 more then villa. Them 3 teams may not get 12 between them

Carlo is the greatest tactician EVER to work at GP. Our players on the whole are not as good as theirs, but we kept our shape and didn't concede. Get a few better players, and keep hold of Carlo and he'll win something for us.

surrender the midfield, foul around the box and take your chances w/ Richy/DCL was the right call. got a bit lucky their free kicks were dreadful, but they got lucky we didn't nick it.

Get F’d Jurgen.

Take your medicine Mr Kool.

His mask is cracking

That's what I thought.

It was my understanding you could use 5 substitutes but only make changes on 3 occasions.

Id be thinking making one at H time does not count in them rules as its not time wasting

This title win'* is getting like the horsepuncher's takeover isn't it.

This week? next week?
Next month?
August?

 

[Ring master]

we have been close to winning a few of these 0-0 derbys,today those few quick chances and that Tosun chance in last minute a year or so ago

 

[Tipp blue]

Anyone else noticed just how unfit, the fittest team the world's ever seen appeared today?
Wonder if this twice weekly testing has thrown their peds programme into dissarray

Klopps magic go go juice has run out, next delivery won't be until mid August.

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

Still another thing... When was the last time we looked that fit and focussed?

Mini pre season. Go 'head Carlo

from BBC

Everton are the only Premier League side to remain unbeaten on home soil in 2020 across all competitions (P5 W2 D3 L0).

The average age of Everton’s starting XI for this game was 24 years & 356 days – the Toffees’ youngest starting line-up for a league match against Liverpool since February 1986.

While that is promising and looks good on paper, it is much easier when you are only playing in one competition! Lol

Has anyone blamed Davies or DCL’s hair yet?

not from me, Dr. Cenk did a great job.

 

[Wat Tyler]

lol

We will see mate, I think he likes a deep compact back four, but as you say that might change. Thought Digne, Keane, Coleman and Holgate were brilliant. Davies and Gomes to defensively it’s a hard system to stay disciplined in when it’s not your natural game.

Was a win for good tactics today, without Carlo I think we loose today.

He did this to them with Napoli earlier in the year.

Is right.

 

[blue to the bone]

That was our youngest ever startin team in a derby. We have a world class manager. There are a lot to be positive about but need to add quality players

5 wasn't it? Part of the pathetic rule changes they brought in for the spoiled brats to cope

christ dave are you suggesting there is a law of the game that applies to them?

Probably, about 8 I think.....

Someone earlier said 6 subs allowed but I did think it was 5

...unfortunately...

They used 5 subs, Chamberlain came on at half - time mate, so the game wasn't stopped for him to come on, therefore they didn't break the 3 windows allowed for subs during the game rule.

Post match discussion is depressing. John Barnes sounds like he has had too much pop

He just said that Ancelotti’s tactics suited both Liverpool and Everton.

I don’t even know where to start.
