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

[allen]

More than one way to skin a cat.

We were brilliant, all things considered. I can’t argue with anything Carlo did.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Only Liverpool, Man City & Man Utd have won more Premier League points than Everton since Carlo Ancelotti took charge of his first game.

 

[everton1953]

Did well under our excellent manager with his great nouse. Could have won it through DCL and Davies.

 

[TGW89]

First half we looked like a squad that hadn't played in three months. But I was really encouraged by that second half under the circumstances. Now we're "tuned up" let's paste Norwich, attain safety, and build around this squad of uncut young diamonds.

It's coming together...... (prepares to feel like a total numpty)

 

[Armaghtoffee]

They really aren’t special without the roids.

 

[roy vernon]

Gave man of the match to Holgate, but, it could just as easily been Seamus, they were both very solid. I think Mason Holgate should be a shoe in for our next captain.

 

[Bluebonic]

I know I'm pessimistic a bit about our prospects for next season but if we did somehow cobble together a top half level midfield behind Dom and Richarlison we've got something.

I think youre right bud, on the basis of that game, our defence played fine, our forward line threatened, but our midfield (even though Tom D had a decent game) was yet again the weak link.

 

[Neiler]

Gave them the ball.Knew they didn't have the ability in midfield to create anything. Take the point. Even when Leicester won the league they has some quality midfielders. Don't give them the space to play their hoofball and they haven't got a plan B.

This is it really, if you suck the space between midfield and defence their best players have no where to operate. They then have to rely on Hendo, Fabino and the ilk break teams down, good luck with that. You need to implement it as well as we did today.

They’ve been rumbled, pity City imploded.

 

[matty1878]

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

this. We have a worldy who is still finding his feet. Watch when we get the players to play his way “watch”

 

[gonetomorrow]

Davies played ok but what a sitter.

 

[Joey66]

Thought the DCL header was a poor miss.

Me too Richy had the beating of Loveren. But the fulcrum of the win, was the two deep banks of four midfield and defense ,giving no space between the lines if we opened up they live and thrive in those areas. We were unlucky we should have scored four on the break.

He had little chance with that look again -

 

[ToffeeTim]

I'm disappointed we didnt win rather than relieved we didnt lose.

 

[KindofBlue]

any game you go into with martina on the bench and you get points against the best team in the league is a good day.

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

I'm disappointed we didnt win rather than relieved we didnt lose.

Progress, baby!

Only Liverpool, Man City & Man Utd have won more Premier League points than Everton since Carlo Ancelotti took charge of his first game.

And at least one, possibly two of those are juiced up to the eye balls.
