Match Thread Everton 2-2 Liverpool. Wednesday February 12th . 7.30 pm

1st time I have really watched Liverpool, and lets; be honest.... they are an average team. Without a couple of moments from Salah (assist and the goal), they have nothing.

Think they are only where they are due to other teams being bad too!

They're no great shakes. In fact, this is a pretty fallow period for the Premier League, in general, certainly at the top.

All it took was a City implosion to show up the lack of quality. This is really why Arteta is looking so exposed. The chance was definitely there this season to win a title and they're not at the races. Forest being third - a great story and a welcome change - is an indictment of the standard.

So it was “our cup final”, it was their “free hit”, they're still 7 points clear and gloating about it.

So why are they crying their arses off? Just seen an RS fan channel title a video saying they were robbed

Manager and assistant manager both sent off because it’s such a big deal to us!?!

Was watching the scuffle at the end on BBC this morning and I swear I seen a bottle being thrown from the crowd hitting Branthwaite, nothing being said about that Mmmmm just rewatched it hit Beto.

Fine incoming for Everton. Bottle thrown... nothing to see here. Everton should be all over the video cameras searching for the offender

This is by far and away the worst level of quality that I have seen in the PL in my memory. It has just generally been pretty devoid of anything. I can't help but think that all the off the field stuff with City has had a detrimental effect, skewing it an awful lot. So, regardless of who wins it, there should be a massive asterisk next to the winners.

Not a bad breakdown.

In the cold light of day we ready did miss a couple of golden opportunities to win that last night.
Albeit as the commentary host said last night after we scored the opener ‘Everton poked the bear’ so perhaps they would have just scored more like the media would have preferred.

I think we made them look average.

They normally bully teams, give them a couple of knocks (they know the ref will protect them) and the team capitulates, and the media then creams themself at how brilliant they are.

You give it back to them and defend properly and then you get what happened last night.

Pass between the back 4 then smash a big diagonal to Salah, they had 63% possession n 62.9% was van dijk to Robertson back n forth. Add to that the hatchet job they put on it was just classic Wimbledon. Absolute ale house team. Love the way we didn't commit an just stood there in shape, they didn't have a clue

Very sad, that both BBC and Granada concentrating on “Everton fans spilling onto the pitch, and things being bad tempered, etc”. I guess it shows just how much the red tainted media are still hurting Bless.

Need to mention the 3 red cards they got and bottle being thrown from there end

O'Brien at RB by the way. Classic case of what can happen when you try different things. Kid was rotting on our bench under Dyche. Always think tall fullbacks look weird but he's been great since coming into the team. What he brings is height when opponents play diagonals into the channels so he's great at mopping that up. Defensively a presence in the box from setpieces too. Really happy for him.

What an end to the final derby at Goodison . I just finished the replay and had tears in my eyes and fists pumping when Tarky scored. This is the blue fighting spirit we want. What a loss to those who left 5min before the end to not witness this historic moment

Big shout out to whoever made the banner in the street end, “we’ve build this city since 1878” and the sound system playing “we built this city with rock n roll, loved the banner should be permanent.

"Diagonals" for them, hoofs if it was us

 

[Mr PEN86]

Does Beto's recent goalscoring form look bad on DCL? I thought Dom was a much better finisher but I think my mind is changing. I don't think Dom scores that.

 

[TrailerTrash]

The racist abuse Doucoure has on his Instagram is deplorable from the RS.

Loved the way that even after his second yellow, he just kept on celebrating. Good on you Doucs.

I'm sure the media will be all over that
