Match Thread Liverpool v Everton - Preview, Match Report & MotM Poll

[NSNO1878EFC]

We`ve lost 6 out of 9 league games this season, was it all referee`s? All bad luck?

We need to improve more but if we keep playing the way we have done since the Brentford game, we’ll be OK. Can’t afford to throw in more games like the Luton one though.

We`ve lost 6 out of 9 league games this season, was it all referee`s? All bad luck?

No. A lot of it is down to really poor finishing. We aren't a great side and Dyche isn't a great manager but we created enough chances against Wolves, Fulham and Luton to win about 20 games. We aren't talking normal missed chances either, some of them were criminal

After Konate non receiving the second yellow card, Dyche should should have sent a f..k you message to the FA and PGMOL and walked the Everton players off the pitch. Highlight this corruption.

 

[jazzy]

For me that was the poorest display I've seen from the RS in a derby.

Was that due to Dyche's tactics or simply because they aren't all that ?

I suspect something in-between. However that game was there for the taking had Dyche been braver tactically in the first half.

Young was brain dead. The ref was corrupt and Keane was Keane. Quite why Dyche thought that Keane could ever be the answer is beyond me.

I hate football.

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Players were let down by some poor officiating decisions and their own manager. Didn’t collapse in the face of adversity like they once would have. Proud of them.

 

[SJB]

Why are pundits on BT saying Liverpool were lucky? It was corruption not luck.

 

[longers]

Miss the days when we would at least try and cripple a player or two of theirs when we were destined to lose.

Bring back Funes Mori

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Match fixing.

What really is the point anymore?

 

[kenada_blue]

Score flatters them.

The refs are always home crowd pleasers at their place.

Dyche not seeing the obvious not helping:

Playing Young (especially after the soft booking) was mistake number 1
Playing Keane was mistake number 2

It's over. We move on.

I will say...they didn't look like scoring with Vs 11 or even 10 until the pen... which they were asking for since the 2nd half kicked off

There were a out 3 VAR reviews for pen shouts before the handball

 

[Toffeelover]

we aren’t much better

Because we got their cast off manager.

 

[Gilbert..]

Didnt have much hope before kick off.

But never stood a cat in hells chance the way the game was reffed.

Not even surprised.

 

[TyphooToffee]

I had a feeling today's three big games were not going to end well. The next is the first of the England v South Africa double. England needing 400 to win the match in the CWC are 28 for 3 and the chances of England beating the Springboks in the RUWC are slim to non-existent. But at least I'll be able to watch that from 10.00pm Kos time.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Hardly, there's a financial burst coming.. hopefully the entire league will be wound up.

Doubt it... the TV deals get bigger... and it will do for the 6 or 7 at the top, the extra revenue for TV, prize money and Europe we will never be able to match.

In 10-20 years Everton will still be paying the loan taken out by 777 to buy the club.....

 

[Street end man]

The ref knew he got that sending off and the not sending off wrong. Why else would he wave a cast iron penalty away?

 

[Nightman]

The replay for the penalty is just horrendous. He's running with arm out - nothing natural about it at all. So dumb.
