Match Thread Everton V Liverpool. Sun April 19. 2pm

[jazzy]

Impossible to be successful with a striker as bad as Beto leading the line ...and he's marginally better than the alternative.

Playing with McNeil is playing with 10 men.

 

[ChesterBlue]

It’s a pen going by him penalising us for much lesser fouls against the RS.

 

[overkill]

McNeil gotta come off, basically the mistake was that big it will probably effect him all game, & also we now need more attacking threat anyway

 

[KevMirallas]

Absolutely gone to water since the goal which is really disappointing. Everything up to that point was perfect.

Be interesting to see how Liverpool spin this game into their usual woe is me, hard luck story. Just a constant stream of obscene good fortune. They do not want to know about this game, were bullied for half an hour and somehow end the half in front and without so much as a yellow card to their name. It’ll finish a cruisy 2-0 and won’t get mentioned when they look back on a 5th place finish as “the hard times” when the whole world was against them. The poor things.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Right side of the formation is killing us. Need more from Beto.

First 30 minutes we were on top, ridiculous that no one is red is on a yellow. The reds couldn’t cope in the beginning.

It’s been killing us all season.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

And not one word in the studio about the ref

 

[bicycleheader]

Obviously McNeills made the error and not played great but I think the weakest points have been O'Brien who looks sluggish and very nervy, then Gana who Is out of position all the time

Such a typical derby. Hopefully we can at least grab the draw. Can't have them winning the first derby at HD, bad enough they scored the first goal

 

[h8kurdt]

Beto might be utter bilge at times at least he's not Isak.

That's my main positive there. The Salah goal has just taken the wind out of our sails and it's just incredibly frustrating as usual.

 

[pwhak88]

I think Gueye needs to swapped out for Iro

I think he’s been one of the better players on the pitch

 

[Taifi gorm]

Someone tell me why it wasn't a foul when Jones barges kdh, but when beto does the same to Robertson it was?

Like VAR showed they are watching with the disallowed goal

 

[Walken]

Robertson is finished and jones is an average player, have to expose that. Get George on

 

[Cmonefcsortitout!]

The goal has really knocked us back. We seem to have lost all confidence since and are just punting it forward too often and as a result ended the game on the back foot. We need to be a lot braver on the ball and we can still get something from the game. Attack in numbers and we can score goals

 

[banno]

Someone tell me why it wasn't a foul when Jones barges kdh, but when beto does the same to Robertson it was?

Thought exactly the same when it happened

 

[dixienormous]

No different to Beto on Robertson but they get the free kick. [Poor language removed] off Kavanagh...

 

[hallamblue]

Half time came at a good time for us. A few lapses of concentration at the back, one of which has cost us a goal. We've had a couple of half decent chances but have felt sorry for ourselves since conceding. I've seen this movie before, and it's up to us to change the script.
