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

[maccavennie]

Too many players crawled into their shell once we were a goal down. Jake and Dwight have been so poor, Gakpo has one moce which is where he cuts inside and time and again theyve let him do it. Jake in particular should never have been offside for our goal as hes looking right across

KDH is never close enough to Beto when we do have the ball, Garner anonymous for the last 15 and Beto has fallen to pieces after one of the worst efforts ive seen since probably the last time he's hit a poor effort.

To let this shower off the hook so far is criminal. They are absolutely rancid. Get George on, get someone in and around Beto and get in their faces again because weve completely stopped doing that

This is where Moyes frustrates me. We are safe, we are losing, so why not just go for it. The worst thing that can happen is that we lost be more.

I was hoping we would be right back at them like we were against Newcastle

 

[Bedfordblue]

How we got the first yellow card in that ½ is beyond me.

 

[Drico]

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.

Oh we’re entitled to feel utterly demoralised - but the players aren’t. Beto and McNeil have killed us. We’re entitled to a response.

 

[Saint Domingo]

If Moyes plays for a 1-0 loss here I’ll be absolutely livid

- Fantastic first half hour where we were the better side.

- Very tight for the offside goal, we could’ve had a penalty, Beto excellent chance with the header (let’s not speak about the 1v1) and could’ve been in front.

- McNeil at fault for the goal, hadn’t been too bad prior to that, but clearly it’s affected him. Look for George to come on at HT / 50 mins and switch Ndiaye to the right.

- Stunned at the lack of yellow cards for them, particularly Gravenberch who should’ve had a couple by now.

- Second half: get after them. They don’t look that good, and a goal will swing the momentum massively after them giving it the big one after scoring.

Not over yet. These are [Poor language removed]. Just need some bollocks from our players and we can do it.

Oh, and get McNeill off. George's place will cause these problems.

James garner needs to up his game second half and dewsbury hall.

 

[jayden28]

Still confident we will get something out of this

 

[SLAVEN BILIC]

As soon as that was disallowed you just knew what was happening.

Need George on and to allow him and Ndiaye to swap for wings every now and then. We need something to occupy their fullbacks, they’re pushing up far too easily.

as soon as they went in front, we stopped getting any decisions in our favour.

 

[edge]

We will win this

This second half defines our season.
Win this and we’ll almost definitely get Europe, lose and its mid table mediocrity

 

[StateSideToffee]

Van Dijk absolutely blows through Gueye, and Somehow Pickford catches the yellow card.

Salah commits a horror challenge from behind, ref rules play on.

Our lads getting drug down in the box, and the ref has nothing to say.

Pundits on the call saying Liverpool lads just shoulder to shoulder nothing in it. But when it’s Everton initiating contact it’s near on criminal abuse, and our lads are endangering player safety.

 

[maccavennie]

I don’t understand how we were happy enough to give away McNeil in January yet now he’s starting crucial games for us.

Because even though hes scored none and assisted none since his move broke down, hes apparently better at the defensive side of things which is why he's in the side.

 

[Strumpet]

I think Garner needs to have more influence in the second half. He keeps giving the ball to Gana to start the attack off. Needs to be the other way around!
