Match Thread Liverpool 2-1 Everton 20th September 12:30

[derek duvall]

Showed a lot more when Barry came on, maybe Moyes should give Dibling and Alcarez more than 5 minutes when we are 2-1 down though....

There is no maybe about it. There were on the ropes after Gana scored. They should have been on straight away.

Only things I can take from that is Barry has to be starting every game because Beto is a waste of space and Garner isn't good enough for CM.

Not saying had a great game but you not think was down to the other two aswell. Just looked unbalanced to me i like kdh but doesnt really do the defensive side of the game. More wants to carry the ball forward and gana will look to chase the ball instead of holding his position. So garner was left in the midfield.

Did show today for me that still need that midfielder who can get on the ball in the middle and help us start attacks not afraid to keep the ball and look for passes.

Shame Rohl didn’t make it.

I missed the first 35 mins or so (thankfully by the sounds of things), and after that thought we were excellent.

Were the better team and had them on the back foot. Refereeing was disgraceful as per.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

That was on Moyes in my opinion, he had Ndiaye playing right back and Jake playing as the 3rd CB which allowed them to press us back with Kerkez

Liverpool gambled in my opinion. They only had the energy to play that way for 45 minutes, so the broke out the inhalers and went hammer and tongs in the hope they could get a lead and defend it. It did work, but barely.

Grealish was the best player on the pitch (again).

Stop dilly-dallying Moyes and make a sub when needed

 

[matty1878]

also pisses me if a team than can play
twice in 3 days still wins

 

[blindbert]

Onto Wolves...keep going with the same attitude as we finished the game.

Yes. Like that we play again on Tuesday.

 

[PrekisCrossBarlow!]

This reminded me of the league derby in October '87 where Liverpool were all-conqering that season, we went there and dominated but still lost 2-0 to two pieces of sublime skill.

This Liverpool are nowhere near as good as that side though, these are truly mediocre.

 

[matty1878]

Stop dilly-dallying Moyes and make a sub when needed

it’s finished.

Mucho mucho lurkers here today

Seemed shell-shocked first half, no idea why, their first goal was high quality, called fair due at the time, similarly the Wolves opener, when a side plays one touch stuff and work the finest margins to score then you can only appreciate the skill to realise the moment and succeed. Second goal didn't knock the stuffing out of us because it was never in us to begin with, again well worked good control quick feet and finish. Pickford won't be pleased. We came into it more second half and looked to stretch the game more and be more adventurous, they could stand off a bit as they had a two goal cushion, good play and good goal Gana. Least they made a game of it after the break.
The first half reminded me of leeds, we couldn't get near the ball in the middle without suffering nose bleeds. They are a well oiled and functioning machine, they've topped up the quality and are the side to beat this season. We gave em a run, but we're a side in it's infancy, we could also do with a ruthless cold blooded striker that's all power but we aint there yet.

Don't like todays referee, hope someone spits in his after match coffee. Someone with gonorrhea.

To add, can understand why Moyes was looking at Luiz and McGinn.

 

[Tommy Chong]

Mate I only think we're a top striker away to be honest.

A more prolific striker, and we’re in the top 4 at this point, I reckon.

 

[Swartzy]

but we lost

Your'e right, but in the past we would have totally folded after that first half, we showed in the 2nd half more then we've seen in a long time.

You have to take a positive from a negative after that fight..

 

[zook]

If we’re going to insist on Beto over Barry, which I agree with, we need another player up top with him. It’s just too easy and predictable to defend.

I don't think an extra striker next to Beto would have helped our inabilty to retain balls when we we spent most of the first half whacking the ball back to their goalie

Dewsbury-Hall is good at supporting the striker from the attacking mid position from what we've seen so far

I think most Prem teams would get eaten alive playing 2 up top these days
