Your positives and negatives from the derby

[riddick]

Positives: We should have won. Easily.

Negatives: We very nearly lost!

could rightly say that they should be swapped.

 

[DanEFC92]

+ Didn't miss Baines
+ Attacking play was impressive
+ Deulofeu
+McCarthy

- How many one on ones do you need?!
- Amateur defending for 3 goals
- Martinez made wrong decision in bringing on inexperienced Stones for last few minutes.

 

[bluemangroup]

Midfield as a unit were excellent. Thought Coleman was very good again.

 

[Coach]

+ Mirallas.

- Baines broken toe?

 

[Groucho]

The fact that it was a draw covers both bases for me.

 

[runlikehell]

Positive: the spirit and mentality from the players to fight back after going behind twice in a big game

Negative: our defending of set plays

 

[Joey66]

Pos
- Everton taking the game to Liverpool for once!
- Coming back from behind twice

Neg
- woeful set piece defending
- Bringing on Stones. Bad move!
- Liverpool Lucky again after stupid foul given away twice by the big man!

Stones was sent on to mark rat face and I think he did ok -Distan with that stupid foul messed up our win! He was also too busy arguing over his booking when Sturridge was totally unmarked! Duffy has to be recalled imo we need a centr back who can win a header at the back!

Mirallas doing Suarez is a thing of beauty. Reap what you sow - the stamp on Mirallas last year immediately levels it out.

Beauty indeed. *wipes tear

 

[Moomin]

I was made up that we went out to take the game to them. That's the best I've seen us play them for years. Well played Roberto, only downside was poor defending from set pieces.

 

[Eggs]

.....positives is that we were SUPERIOR. Negative is that we didn't win.

 

[The_Street_End]

Positives - honestly thought we were very good, didn't panic when we were down twice. Carried on and looked very good.
- Ross Barkley was great
Yeno what most Everton players were great

Negativez - silly, silly goals conceded. Stupid fouls and defending.


What a bunch of tits, going to get myself done in by Devon kopite.

Pos

Great game
Pienaar looked excellent, drew fouls, linked play and was strong in possession, if he did this every game we'd be great
Barkley
McCarthy looked better after a couple of poor games
Whole team finally looked decent for the majority of a game, that's been our main weakness this season, only being able to put together 45min of decent play

Neg

Pretty self explanatory poor set piece defence and a F*** up from Howard/Pienaar with the wall, most irritating of all their goals for me.
Baines Injury, may not be as key this season chance creation wise but remains a great player and a central part of the team .

i'm not sure duffy's the answer (sorry bry), stones could well be though, he's tall and has looked good every game. we do need a commanding centre back though, i wouldn't like to be the one to choose between jagielka and distin on who to drop though, none of them deserve it. Alcaraz has always looked good in the air.

quite simply, we need a good commanding keeper who patrols his box brilliantly. Robles should good signs of that in pre-season, just not sure if he's good enough to be our main keeper, we'll see.

 

[Jacob]

Positives: Barkley stepped up to the plate and had a great game
Lukaku vastly improved in the 2nd half and back on the goal trail
Deulofeu getting more involved

Negatives: Baines Injury
Poor Set Piece Defending
Distin losing concentration

 

[Dutch Toffee]

Positives: That we finally managed to overcome our mental blockage when facing our arch enemy. We were up for the fight from the first minute instead of just lying down and surrender to them.

Negatives: The woefull defending at times that gave them the opportunity to get a point from a game they really should have lost.
