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

[Rodebaard]

Ref wasn't great, but Young didn't really give him an option on the second card. Moronic. Keane needs to have his arms tied together behind his back from now on. You could argue that he was quite close to the cross, but with his arm stretched out like that, it was only going to get given. Branthwaite looks very good to me. Also Mykolenko did well again against Salah. Their midfield is much better than ours.

It wasn't competitive today?

They needed a pen to break through against a 10 man team, and they needed the ref's help to keep from going down to 10 themselves.

Not for me. We stood back and went all out defence. That's not the competitive nature I'm looking for. Unfortunately there's a ridiculous gulf in quality between the two sides so it's the best we can hope for.

At the end of the day, the records will say another routine derby win for them and get another defeat for us. This fixture has become as one sided as a derby such as Chelsea and Fulham.

Even Jurgen said Konate should have been sent off

Hahahaha

Howard Klopp would say that after the event. Gutter Rat.

Imagine what this team could do if we actually got a good manager and not a bottom 5 manager!

Decisions today were absolutely baffling... we offered nothing after half time and basically rolled over and were there to be beaten....

Does Dyche care? Not a chance, in the presser he will say his usual tripe, he won`t call out the PGMOL and the corruption. Literally defeat after defeat and he just trots out utter rubbish.

Dyche has always been the type of manager to target certain games for enough points to stay in the league. As long as he is here we have to accept that is the current reality we are in.

As for getting a good manager I'm not even sure being ''good'' is enough to be successful at this club.

Can stop calling it a derby…

Bringing off both of our wingers for Patterson and Keane was criminally stupid, as was leaving on Young when on a yellow when he was clearly being targeted

Yes no need for Keane, should have kept a winger on. Another poor show from Dyche. Can’t blame him for the ten men, but our attacking was dire and that is down to coaching

[Weebarra]

Inconsistent refereeing, just deciding to apply the rules sometimes and not others depending on the colour of the shirt.

We’ll beat them at Goodison.

A referee notorious for making big gaffs shouldn't have been given thus game. His inconsistent descidons turned this game in tge RS favour.
Tsimikas snd Konate both should have walked.

Young should know better, than be rash in the tackle.

11 v 11 us a fair game, but lack of quality today earn we had 11 players cost Everton, snd poor finishing.

Now for a tough game at West Ham which can be won.

UTFTs!

Waiting for the normal MOTD pundit drivel saying some thing like ..

Yeah, Konate was a bit lucky not to get a second yellow but Liverpool deserved a bit of luck after the Spurs game

Doubt there'll be much of a mention for how it impacted us though!

Agreed, the game is being ruined by poor officials and inconsistency. I don't mind losing when the officials are fair and consistent.
Pawson is not fit for refereeing Sunday morning ale House games.

Will Pawson be demoted to the Championship fixtures I doubt it.

Bounce back at West Ham.
UTFTs!

I dunno. I think you're underestimating how limited they are. If you think the sky is the limit with a more progressive manager, you're living in cuckoo land.

There was a stat that came up at one point in the game that said we had made 30 passes to their 200+. We are what we are. Very limited. But also very much too good to go down.

Hahahaha

whys that funny?

 

[Joey66]

'kin Kopite rats.

Dyche should ask for the game to be replayed leaving the OAP...s out of our team ....

 

[dan7787]

I don’t blame Keane, the ball hit him in close proximity, he didn’t move his hand into the path of the ball. Ref totally bottled it

 

[Weebarra]

The alternative was keep the attacking players on and probably get beat 4-0

Agreed, Pawson, played his part today in the result.

We are currently the type of team that need to target certain games to stay up. So really he is the perfect manager if what you say about Dyche is factual....

 

[Weebarra]

Thought Harrison and McNeil were really poor in the first half. Didn't give us anything when we needed them in possession. If they'd impacted the game more we could've given them a lot of problems.

Yep, even with 11 players,a lack of quality in the final pass, and poor descision making, and finishing, summed up today.

One to forget.
