Everton v Liverpool. 7th Feb at 17.30.

[Big Fat Sam]

That was as pathetic an attacking performance as I've seen in many a year.

On the other hand, we rarely looked like conceding and both centre backs were outstanding.

Unacceptable going into games looking for nil nil though, Moyes that.

....understand what you mean about Naismith, Barkley definitely linked better from a forward perspective. Naismith, though, was tireless in his defensive duties so I suppose it was a matter of one strength or the other.

Naismith was a liability there yesterday, Imo. Won one or two headers but offered us nothing else.

 

[BigBlueConk]

Great performance, had we been the away team.
We did what West Brom did to us the other week, bore the life out of the game.

Positives, defended superbly and a clean sheet

Still, two games unbeaten, on a roll.

 

[SPOTTER]

I feel a bit frustrated after that.feel like we set up and played too defencive showing no desire to actually win the game.i would rather we played more adventurous,its evertons fault that game was so dull.3 defencive mids is way over the top.boring.does anybody feel satisfied with a nil nil with no shots on goal til last 5 mins.what has happened to us.we could score for fun last year but now we just play to not concede.we were at home against a team with a dodgy defence yet we played like we were away against real madrid.for fuks sake show some desire blues.

Lads, John Stones again. Footballs new Mr Football.

4 games isn't it? 5 maybe?

Unbeaten in 5 in the League. Our last loss in the League was away at Hull.

Nice to see that Ross is on his way back to form,never doubted the lad.

WRONG. Wrong wrong. Just plain. Wrong.

He was played too far forward. He's a CF not a Striker.

He's combative. That's it. He's even lost his touch in front of goal right now...that ball he controlled with his nose rather than his forehead and wasted for a tap in: phttttttt!

Tries hard, but not good enough for an Everton that's going places. When we are going places he'll have to go...and go quickly

We needed to nullify the RS game and did so by playing three DM's. Not very exciting but at least we stopped them scoring. Shame we do not have the players to hurt them on the break.

We do, he took one off, and replaced him with the other.
I would have liked to see them on the pitch at the same time.

Anybody sit in the park end by the away fans and see the section of ( to many standing) fans all together in there end?

It was a safety hazard and everybody was pointing it out were I sit saying if it was here we would be ejected from our seats

Or if something happened who would be blamed

....a few MoM nominations on the other thread. He was a nuisance for them, Just yapping around ankles.
