Match Thread Liverpool vs Everton - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Jokerdan]

Well (and this will be controversial) but it's a 'good' result because Dyche now knows what he has to deal with. And it's not much!

We brought a teaspoon to a gunfight

Worse, we gave it to Uri Geller before the match

Oh well didn’t expect anything but the Arsenal game gave me a bit of hope. Their movement on and off the ball is so much quicker than ours and has been for years.



As is their determination , heart and desire.

 

[Simo]

Let's all head over to the ale House, for some added minutes of Tom foolery

 

[DualityNSNO]

He wasn't on long enough to really affect anything anyway.

I dunno I’d prefer we at least score the open goal ones

 

[Drico]

We brought a teaspoon to a gunfight

Harsh. I reckon we brought a skateboard, anyway.

 

[Bebeto]

Liverpool turned up tonight as expected...watch them being crap again next game.

 

[JohnM]

We look doomed but there are probably three sides even worse.

Name them?

 

[John96]

Mixed emotions tonight for Dyche. The team he manages lost, but the team he supports won. Ginger Kopite should be nowhere near the club.

COYB!

John.

Even if we beat Leeds the liklihood is we will be straight back in as Leeds have Southampton at home and we have Villa at home........ just saying

If we lose to Leeds we will be 4 or 5 points cut adrift and probably gone

 

[Parker]

Cant show fight in a Derby.

No Everton team this.

 

[N0L1M1TK]

We've won two away games in 27 before tonight.

I know we had an impressive win vs Arsenal, but it was always going to be hard tonight. I think if we could keep DCL fit, we'd be more than fine. Unfortunately don't think that seems possible.

We were poor tonight, we have been for most of the season.

Leeds next, the players need the crowd, we need to make it as hostile for Leeds as possible.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Absolutely dreadful performance against very poor Liverpool team

Hate losing the derby but very poor? I’m not sure about that mate.

You honestly think he wasn’t aware of this already.

That first half wasn't too bad, so close to going one up and then our weakness in transitions costs us. Terrible terrible defending for the opening goal, so naive. The 2nd half was absolutely abysmal, the defending for the 2nd goal is just absolutely [Poor language removed] shocking. Kills the game and they just pass it around and make us look as [Poor language removed] as we are. We are so [Poor language removed] poor upfront, we don't have anyone outside of DCL, so we can't even punt it and just play for crosses and set pieces. If he doesn't stay fit I think we have to play Onana upfront and just try to hold the ball up, like when we put Fellaini up under Moyes. Its the only alternative I can see.
