Everton vs Liverpool Match Thread

Total man custard.

I hope we get a better class of manager on the way.

[RoadEnd]

So far we are playing deep, allowing Everton to attack us and then wait for a counter attack opportunity.

Isn't that how teams used to set up against us at Anfield

[Exiled_red]

Arteta fouled Gerrard as well in that break away, that's two he's got away with

[Qantaga]

Slowly getting better lads.

You can see that Merieles and Gerrard are effectively playing the same position

I think Merieles is the nominal support for Torres but it ain't working - push Gerrard up, and drop Merieles back.

Everton cant keep this work rate up. I think if we make it to 2nd half with 0-0 we will win it. We have been much better 2nd half all season

There is a degree of truth in that.

[Kenneth]

Torres is certainly putting a shift in.

Meireles booked

[Exiled_red]

Meireles with a decent shot blocked there,

Meireles booked for a nothing challenge

We've been saying that for the last five games.

Meireles yellow

But its not Roys fault. Its that nasty spaniard Benitez. Its all his fault dont you know. Good old roy hasn't had a chance

[Rigadon]

First 20 minutes – typical performance under Hodgson. Sitting deep and allowing the opposition to dictate the pace, and dominate possession and territory.

Last 10 minutes – we’re starting to compete.

Mireles is impressing me with his commitment, and he has a wicked shot on him. Even if it was stopped point blank

[Kenneth]

That Mireles booking was bollocks. It was no different to the Yakubu barge earlier. Both were fair game.
