Everton vs Liverpool post match Thread

Every time Sakho get the ball my arsenal goes. It's only a matter of time before it costs us.

In fairness, Can did the same once despite the ultra composure, I just think our midfield didn't show out enough today.

Taking Phil off killed us .

to be fair to the team, Everton were set up to contain rather than play and did a really good job of cutting the out ball from the back. Usually Lucas will force play with a quick incisive pass to break the lines, but Allen just didnt offer the same impetus forward.

Too many safe performances though apart from Ibe and Can.

Everton fans should be the ones pissed off though, with that kind of performance at home - they had no ambition or invention at all.

Its all about fatigue management this month. Coutinho and specially Henderson offensively were way below par. Missed Lucas' probing passes as Allen though good defensively made us sterile.

No surprise about how good Ibe was. Hopefully he'll get me an additional 3 bonus points in FF. I'm still not impressed by Moreno though. But he has loads of time on his side.

Beating Spurs will make this a great one point.

I would guess Phil came off cos of the knock at the end of the first half?

Hopefully now the sentimental stuff is out of the way SG can be an impact sub for the rest of the season.

We've all seen games like that go against us. We stood firm, but we missed the forward thinking of Lucas, and it was clear that they'd realised that crowding Coutinho and kicking Sterling was the way to stifle us. sakho looked nervous and I think it was because Lucas wasn't there and allen was

Depends on how long Lucas is out for. Gulp.

Skrtel and Ibe can be happy with themselves. Rest of them were seriously lacking. Mig done alright with the little action he had.

Let's be honest, who had a bad game? I can't think of anyone. Everyone ticked a steady6 or so. We were the most progressive team and the only one who seemed to want to win aside from the last five mins when they brought on Barkley.

They were set up to nullify us and it worked. But for a team like Everton at home, that's poor. Never looked like trying to win it or take gambles. I think as the away side we can't be blamed for what was a very abject game.

Stop talking sense. Heads must roll.

[DannyMan2006]

2 points dropped. Baffled by Rodgers subs but anyway..

I'm not, we weren't getting anywhere because they set up to stop us and nought else. Rodgers hoped a bit of brawn would do it and at the least keep a point. I reiterate, it was Everton who made it a dour game. That was small time from them today tbh, and I tend to stay away from all the histrionics.

[Tatterdemalion]

We've got Tottenham and Southampton next in the league and we're only 4-6 points behind 4th place. Not that finishing fourth is that great, but if we can keep up our general form we'll be fine.

That made me laugh tbh, was it the free kick save? Fat blonde jumping up and down sticking the fingers at Gerrard, lol.

Can had a few slip ups but he had a pretty good game overall.
