Liverpool v Everton. 27th Sep at 12.45.

[thirdmantackle]

McGeady must stop losing the ball with silly tricks
lose it in their box, not midfield.

Baines needs more protection, as does Hibbert. Osman is giving his man too much space.

Lukaku needs to hold onto the feckin ball.
We need to stop trying hopeful long punts up and across the field.

Other than that, we're boss.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

Sterling is still running 30m with the ball before he is being challenged at times...

That's because Lukaku is being told to push right up onto the leftback, nothing to do with Hibbert

 

[f.t.r.s]

typical derby day, our star player goes off injured, one of theres gets a knock and is fine 5 mins later,
definitely got a pact with the devil that lot,
hoping and praying for a jammy multiple deflection own goal off gerrards nose to end the curse at the pit,

omens, 15 years since we beat them, 15 games since we beat them, last time we beat them was on this day, keep the faith blues

 

[McBain]

Nets Intact.

CARN YOU BLUES

 

[everthong]

Hibberts been solid. Defence has looked ok,Mid-field lacks creativity,a few goals in the first few games doesnt cover over the fact that Naisy isn't up to it.

Desperately missing Colemans runs and Barkleys link up play.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Boss that we rest Mirallas for this game and he ends up injured.

 

[SpeedEFC]

BT Sport is absolute tosh

 

[AussieToffee]

all I know is my heart is in my throat anytime the ball is in or around our box.

We just cannot command the back these days.

It's all gone.

 

[StatesideBlue3]

Sterling is still running 30m with the ball before he is being challenged at times...

I'd rather that than Hibbert jumping up and getting burned by his pace. One of our holding mids need to be responsible for that today.

You have to start a thread with ACTIV... actually better not start that one again

Does it not have to be [ACTIVATE]smiley[/ACTIVATE]?

 

[AaronTheBlue]

because of how wide we are playing its vital to be able to play and have good link up play. although naisy is offering energy his technical ability isn't up to the standard we need for this game tbh, eto'o is much better technically and is a better passer of the ball, thats why i'd bring him on for naismith. We need to unlock their defence. Not batter it.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

He has stood around backing away sterling has let him have it easy so far its a big worry!- offers nothing going forwards either|!

He's waiting for some protection from McCarthy before committing himself

 

[Blueblooded]

Besic over Markovic all day long for me. I'd say he's the only positive from that first half (apart from somehow not conceding).

 

[BBleck]

Defense looking good except for Hibbert giving up so much ground because he can't recover and losing Lallana on that corner.

 

[Durham Toffee]

That's because Lukaku is being told to push right up onto the leftback, nothing to do with Hibbert

I'm not necessarily blaming Hibbert, but the fact remains. The space Sterling has at time is scary.
