Match Thread Liverpool v Everton, April 20th KO 20:00

[Darth Vader]

Here he comes...



Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "It was a disaster. A horrible showing that started with the best intentions but ended up with the inability to get the basics right. We forgot to defend the box and gave them a soft two-goal lead. We got emotional with the red card and from then on Gareth Barry was injured and John Stones was ill, it was a chain reaction. A disaster. An impossible experience.

"It is a challenge [Funes Mori] that he should avoid. He got carreid away with the emotion of a derby, he got carried away. Probably a red card, I can understand it or maybe a yellow. The top and bottom is that we didn't cope with the emotions of the occasion. A feeling of embarrassment.

"It is a huge game for us on Saturday in the FA Cup which is the only good thing. We will be hurting for a long, long time but we need to react quickly for the game on Saturday. We are strong enough to react but we are short at centre-back now."

We forgot to defend the box, We haven't done that all season

As for bouncing back, Well judging the last 7 games he's chatting utter crap as per

Stones stomach cramps - course you did John

I think the medical term is a massive lack of bottle. Shithouse.

You were happy with the tail end of the Walter Smith era? What about Mike Walker? I have been ashamed of the team several times, this isn't a problem that is limited to today and to Martinez.

Wasn't happy no, but wasn't ashamed, they were very limited players with teams built on a very small budgets, this is overpaid, overrated lazy players with a clueless manager showing no fight or passion.
Very different to the two teams you mention

 

[allen]

Bit late for frank assessments and admitting to underperformance, Roberto.

 

[mceverton]

Stomach cramps, wow, well done for lasting as long as you did John, what a trooper

 

[Bluerover]

I can't mate and I'm 58. They beat us 5-0 in the early 80's but that was against a good RS team. This could have been 7 or 8 and you couldn't complain. He has to go tonight IMO

I was at that but it was indeed an excellent RS team, HK was not long with us and Glen Keely was sent off early on.

This was much worse

How many of us wish we sold stones now, his value will have dropped. He been a liability this season

 

[Jamiednm]

Stones, Lukaku and Barkley can all fk off as well.

 

[Wat Tyler]

I wouldn't give Martinez the money for the 17 home from that dump.

 

[Ducans elbow]

At the end of the season can we blame anyone for jumping of this sinking ship

 

[Librarian]

flagellation in full swing I see

We were all relaxed, we didn't mind getting beat, put out the reserves take a loss and win a semi final. Oh no, let's put out the best players we have, who showed no passion and had one eye on Wembley. Destroy confidence and humiliate the club and the fans.....nice one Bobby.......
