Everton v Liverpool match thread

[Red_Al_77]

No creativity. Its just too frantic and we just don't seem to have anyone up top. Oh for a Torres or Anelka

[El Jefecito]

As usual all the attacks are coming down our left side.

[marcus50bucks]

We're playing **** as usual.

The Crow putting himself about, unsetlling the defence a bit, gets a foul against him there and it almost costs us as a long ball nearly drops for Yakubu in the box as Carra slips.

Yakubu makes Finnan look silly. Where's my tablets?

It's warming up a bit now with some decisions splitting the fans.

Free kick for Everton on left, Arteta, flicked on and just over by Anichebe. Almost forced a great save by Pepe.

[bigfooty]

Yossi probably the liveliest of our attackers, his cross cleared, but the game is very narrow due to no genuine wide players in our team. 120M and not a single quality winger.

Anyway, Yossi clipped in the middle and wins a free kick about 35 yards out.

[bigfooty]

Riise low shot deflected just wide for a corner, was on target.

[Red_Al_77]

Well the fans have a right to be excited to an extent because they are paying. So far it's like watching paint dry.

[bigfooty]

Yossi corner cleared at near post for another.

whats gone wrong

[Dan]

Momomo **** off home

[bigfooty]

Second Yossi corner hacked away, nobody near it from our side.

Momo trys a left-footed pass to Riise who was in acres of space and it screws horribly wide.

We have so little technical quality in our squad it makes baby Jesus cry.

[Red_Al_77]

oh ffs. Masher and Momo can't pass today. Please someone learn how to pass.

[red g]

How can we get momentum when we lose the ball so easy
