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

[BullensRoad]

A perfect example of why proactive management is so important. All of Liverpool’s best moments coming from one spot on the field and that spot is the one being occupied by Dwight McNeil. Now I know McNeil hadn’t done anything specifically to be dropped. But this was a game against a high level team with a lot of athletic players that was always going to be high intensity and it doesn’t suit a player who struggles to play at a PL intensity on the slowest of days. This was foreseeable and the manager was not proactive in dealing with it. We’re not behind here if he had.

I’m just begging him to fix it at halftime. It might now be too late.

When the ball goes forward he's no where to be seen on that wing. Is he injured or unfit?

It's classic Moyes having his favourites.

Never seen an RS Side play so many stray five yard passes.

Beyond infuriating that we are behind to this shower.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Even more gutted that McNeil deal to Palace deal fell through.

As soon as that deal fell apart I knew it would bite us at some point this season.

Can’t get these utter no marks out the squad no matter how much we try

 

[DanEFC92]

Be brave, Moyes.

 

[Frenk]

It’s also not true though. He stands in the right spot but he’s not actually helping defensively because as soon as he’s called upon to do anything he’s too slow.

Fair point.

 

[Fonzy]

McNeils fault for giving it away

Yet Moyes won’t make a sub till the 75th minute

I hate Palace for not taking him

 

[Librarian]

Get George on Moyes you big negative Nelly

 

[Pappas_23]

Who knew McNeil was such a [Poor language removed] player? Oh anyone who watches Everton not named David Moyes

 

[Taifi gorm]

Got to put George on start 2nd half replace McNeil need more attacking threat. Sadly Moyes will wait 60 mins + until any subs

60mins your optimistic

 

[LinekersLegs]

Can we get this back up and pretend we are restarting the match?

 

[MaximusEvertonius]

This is why the Championship can be so much more enjoyable. Was watching Milwall/QPR and the match just played out. No VAR. Just football. I hate VAR. We have to be one of the clubs with the highest number disallowed goals per season.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Let’s have it right. They haven’t found a way to beat us. We have found a way to beat ourselves. How else can we account for Beto and McNeil’s “interventions”.

We need to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and put this right as our first 30 was excellent. We’ve shot ourselves in the head since.

Well yeah I don’t disagree but it’s semantics. As a fan I’m going to feel very sorry for myself going through this every Derby but yeah it’s time for the players to step up and take the game by the scruff again like they did up to the goal.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Gueye has done nothing as well. Throw Rohl or Alcaraz on with George and go at them

 

[Fonzy]

Be brave, Moyes.

Hahaha come on mate like asking for pigs to fly

 

[Milk]

Their goal has popped our balloon …. Which is going down bigly

Need Moyes to inject something for the 2nd half. Doubt he’ll do it early enough to influence the game
