to be fair to them they have won that without getting out of 1st gear , our manager is deluded if he thinks that was a performance to be proud of. We only started playing once the result was never in question.
Whilst the manager undoubtedly made some tactical errors today, let's be level-headed about the abject failure of yet another Everton team to perform at Anfield.
Our passing was poor, our first touch was largely poor, our defending was poor, we lacked passion, commitment, pace and decision making, we lacked (channelled) fight and we simply got things wrong all over the pitch, literally from five minutes into the game.
We gave them far too much space to run into at pace... which we all know terrifies defenders... and we failed woefully to compete effectively in midfield. Our cause wasn't helped by the loss of
Seamus Coleman and Morgan Schneiderlin, and even the stupid, unnecessary loss of McCarthy.
Mirallas should have been on from the start, or at least introduced at half time, to give him just nine minutes was sheer folly.
