Match Thread Everton v Liverpool Sat - 7th April 12:30ko

[Ring master]

The way we attacked last 10mins ish is the way we should start and carry on the whole game for me

Disappointed we won't get a better chance to beat them than that, they definitely had one eye on midweek. We didn't test Klaven until the last ten minutes.

We've become the warm up act. The gentle sparring partner. The training dummies. Sad thing is, some people will say, great, we didn't lose, and consider the draw the best we could get compared to what could have been if the RS were even bothered. This is where we are.

Stop mate They are thrd in the table.26 points ahead of us More then likely in a champions league semi final. Smashin teams left right and center. Scoring goals for fun. At no stage today had they there three attackers on the pitch and they were in second gear.. We aren't close to their level. And if you can't see that I give up

They were 8th two years ago they've had a wonder one off season from salah who's won them those 26 points himself. The one who did that last year has already left.
I don't bother with comparing to them, just know they're nothing special.

Thought Walcott was abysmal today. Not sure what was wrong with him but he was kin terrible.

That last 10 minutes we played with a bit more spunk, harried them more. Basically the team that ended it should have been the one that started the match.

Listened to it on the talk sport were they Tosun and Lewin chances as bad as the radio were saying. I'm not as bothered about the result as others. I would of liked Niasse on for Tosun rather than taking Davies off. The only positive is we don't have to play those mutants for another few months. 2 premier league wins in 36 games or something like that ridiculous. Anyway safe journey home to all the Blues and enjoy the rest of the day. I might be tempted to go the pub later on but not sure if I can bare dealing with the Klansman.

Near their level? A couple of seasons of overachieving because of two world class players. What is their level exactly, without salah they have very little, as shown today. They were only missing him and a left back.

Their level is third in the league with a good chance of being in the semi finals of the best club competition going. Getting a bit weird you recently. You changed bleach brands mate?

They cruised through that until we had a go. Goodison should be a bear pit for these types of games, nasty as [Poor language removed]. Instead we got treated to a lunch time kick about in which nobody was really that arsed.

...team selection needs to be brave and innovative but it isn’t. Shame really.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Well, err, we didn’t lose I spose.

 

[Vedder]

Let's wait till the last 5 mins to have a go at a second string team...fooking coward of a manager....

 

[Kantareller]

Walcott was poor until minute 85-ish

Thought Walcott was abysmal today. Not sure what was wrong with him but he was kin terrible.

He was, but I feel like he never got the ball when and where he needed it earlier in the game because of our gash midfield and long balls. By the time the game got into the right areas it was like he wasn't calibrated after long spells without the ball at his feet.

I HONESTLY LAUGHED WHEN DCL MISSED THAT CHANCE

I KNEW HE WAS GOING TO MISS HAHAHAHA

Assumed it sat up or he slipped at first. Not to at the very least hit the target was criminal, I've got a lot of time for our younger players and want to see them grow at the club but DCL? I don't know I just don't see it with him.
