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

[Gwladys St. Glory]

So two players, with no real mins between them (in the game and one in his entire EFC tenure), get the blame. Not saying they were great but that shows a monumental lack of emotional intelligence. It's the derby but get a 'kin grip.

They had some unknown lad in net and we didn't create anything. Utterly embarrassing

This has bothered me for years now. Our managers flat out refuse to play young players and don't use all their subs because they want those experienced players on the pitch.

And repeatedly, the RS will do things like put literal children (and not exactly Lamine Yamal level - a few years down the line they always end up in lesser sides) against our experience and come out ahead, because of the whole "not being cowards" aspect of the game.

They put 11 minutes injury time, and RS scored after 10. No conspiracy theory here, just on team sat back in injury time and the other pushed forward (unfortunately).

We had no out ball
Barry and George were completely out of their depth

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

we didn’t deserve to lose

again blame moyes for that

get a grip

Matty it’s frankly tiresome, you seeing your arse every time someone questions Moyes.

He waited too long to take McNeil off and he did nothing about the knackered midfield despite us having 3 CMs on the bench. No Dibling again.

He has such a crippling fear of losing that he won’t do what it takes to win games like this, and then loses anyway.

lol hes 29

Who's arsed

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

His lack of effort is more startling.

Beto and Branthwaite injuries killed us.

Both teams were terrible overall, apart from Dewsbury-Halls runs through the middle we offered next to nothing in that 2nd half. Didn't even test their keeper after he came on for his debut with the sun in his eyes.

McNeill should have been off way earlier while we were on top of them but to be fair George was poor when he came on.

As for Barry, he isn't close to good enough and he doesn't look arsed at all.

I'm gutted but what I can take from today is this team will be so much better with a good striker he can keep hold of the ball and a good winger. We're getting there.

 

[Sharpattack]

That Barry makes Maupay look like Messi.

 

[Blue Willy]

Let's see ... from the commentary I've read...
Dodgy ref selection
Denied a clear penalty (I haven't seen it)
Goal against scored by out of form talisman, last derby etc
Var ruled out a goal
Key player knackered long term, carried off, loads of extra time.
Winning goal against in the last minute by their other talisman a player who's been crap against everyone else

Could anyone have written a more dramatic TV script for a worse day for the originals?

Unfortunately 99% of Global RS are not from the City, and wont care about the originials or history. The only history that matters is winning. Unfortunately, for decades, they win lots and we win foek all. Big investment, a managerial and full coaching staff change, and proper investment in top class players is needed. We have a reasonable foundation so its doable for our owners to vastly improve their investment. Its not with Moyes at the helm though.

 

[NorthernBlue]

utterly robbed

We weren’t robbed really. All comes to squad depth. Seen who they could bring on compared to us. Beto went off then Barry came on. Game over.

 

[Victus]

Who's arsed

alright lad untwist ya mars knickers lol

 

[Fonzy]

This type of games define who should stay and who has to go: Barry is the first one, George second

Add mcneil into that

 

[Alex Young`s Cat]

The issue is for many of the players and Moyes it's just a job. To many of us, it's everything.

 

[RomanReigns]

Pretty lame attempt with a predictable outcome

 

[Andy Gray Diving Headers]

We had no out ball
Barry and George were completely out of their depth

I wouldn't disagree with that, I'm just replying to the initial comment.
