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

[Swagger]

Mate. Who f#@£in cares where they finish as long as they don't win it. I'm more concerned with our failings.

Likewise. Just saying look at the state of them and their fans celebrating like they won the Champions League.

 

[Fonzy]

It feels like Moyes already knows the subs he's going to make not affected by injury before the game even starts

But he signed off on them

 

[MerseySamurai]

When it comes to that lot, we are mentally bereft and show too much respect. That attitude comes directly from Moyes IMO

Fully agree with you mate, but why the last two derbies at Goodison, one we won and the Tarky goal one, we went at them. Does my head in

 

[DJH4]

Alcarez....Beto physically bullied their Cbs..Barry will never offer that...put Alcarez or Nidye up there for last 15m and run in between...just saying, there ARE other options...they have weeks to think about this, it is their ( coaching staff) job...

Agreed. I’d have gone George for Beto. Ndiaye up front.

I find it hard to understand how you can be paid all that money to do the same, predictable, thing every time.

 

[Andy McGurk]

12 fouls, no yellows.

Shocking

 

[Taifi gorm]

Has there been a proper replay shown of the offside given against obrien. All it showed at the match was a cartoon version and a jarg explanation 5 minutes later

Offside but then the question is why did VAR ignore the pen

 

[Seathestars]

Just move O'brien to his proper position and buy a decent right back.

We've only had about 5 years without a proper right back, our scouts are the equivalent of Barry

 

[WilliamBoo]

MoTM Is Barry.
Yes, For his indifference, apathy and not show at all

 

[Super Kevin sheedy]

Losing or drawing that game may not make too much of a difference in where we finish. If anything it will ensure Moyes will have them well up for beating west ham which i expect we would

Should have been well up for winning that today, won’t beat West Ham or anyone else

 

[Rita_Poon]

Ndiaye dropped off when he switched wings...would rather have stuck george up top and brought dibling on

Bit of hindsight, but with how much success we'd had on the left flank this is how I'd have altered it as well.

I realise it'd mean the end of barry though, cos a loan replacing the striker over a fully signed striker* means the writing is on the wall.
Shuffling O'Brien across and playing Rohl, Garner or Patterson at RB might have been another option. Maybe Tim Iroegbunam to AM for some physicality.

stubbs called barry out on the radio btw, he said he's gone in the summer for crossing the fans. and that to turn fan opinion means working hard and that today he was play acting as a player.

We wont get half our £28M back for him. Youth prospect with an attitude issue and some questionable pals.

He was off lad, could see it on the first replay. The "cartoon" is the semi automated tech they have. They don't 'draw lines' anymore

It was his arm that was given offside I think which begs a couple of questions. Firstly i thought it could only be deemed offside if it was a body part you can score with and secondly what happened to that 5cm tolerance rule?

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Think too many were too disciplined and too concerned with space and gaps left behind. Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye.

Needed more with an attitude of taking the game to them.

We never tested their 3rd choice 'keeper.

They had more possession, more shots.

They never looked up for it, never got out of first gear. Looked all the world a team low on confidence, with players who are leaving in a few games.

And we still gifted them it.
