Everton away, Saturday 7th April 12.30

[Bjornebye]

Close thread. Tuesday is all that matters now.

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Maybe those last 10 minutes was the long awaited shift in power balance on Merseyside.

[El Rojo]

They’re a truly awful side. Didn’t even give it the alehouse rock until the last twenty minutes.

[J-V]

Ref was shit as per the norm in this league.

[an tha]

We really need to find some better forward back up for next season.

[magicrat]

Can't be happy with that despite the circumstances, Worrying to think our back up strikers are utterly hopeless

[Redder Lurtz]

Well that was a load of shite. Genius tactics from the Gravymeister there. "Everyone get behind the ball until the last 10 minutes when they might be a bit tired"

[niallers]

No injuries and played out exactly how we'd have wanted. 17 without defeat now. Bitters can't even beat our massively weakened and blunted side the fucking quims. 11 ahead of chavs with a far superior goal difference! Happyish days

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

[Ranxerox]

Ings and Solanke are shit and need to be binned off this summer. Combined wth Lallana's injury it shows how reckless it was not to sign a quality attacker in Jan.

[Captain Turdseye]

Still only 26 points above them. Disappointing.

[KMD7]

Think Klopp underestimated just how shit Everton would be today.  Still happy with a point though and no injuries.  Fuck off Allardyce

[aRdja]

to be fair, Firmino has been at least as bad since he came on. The other two are obviously very rusty.

Agreed. He was worse.

[Grinch]

Got the point I guess we played for.  No injuries and on we go to a more important game.  We've still got work to do in the league.  Logic suggest Chelsea won't spring seven wins together but if they do it could still get hairy.

 

I don't want to see Ings and Solanke again until we've top four secured.  The latter needs to go on loan and the former was never good enough for this level, even before the injuries.

 

They are fucking dreadful.  Practically gift wrapped the three points today and couldn't take it.  Although 8 out of 12 of the last derbies being draws suggests we've not made the most of it.

[Sharpman8]

Firmino obviously had his mind on the second leg.

 

He was quite poor. Gave away the ball and gave away free kicks.

[Baltar]

Atrocious last 10 mins from us, if we defend like that at any point against City they'll score. But overall it was mostly a comfortable match for us with hopefully no injuries and a point isn't the worst result in the world IF it means us getting past City.

[El Rojo]

Southgate trying to disguise himself as a farmer so he doesn’t have to go to Russia, get knocked out in the first round and get portrayed as a root vegetable in the tabloids.

[dockers_strike]

Jesus wept why do we try and play head tennis with some of these balls. That last 15 minutes was very nervey to watch with all that head tennis and pissing about with it. We had a free kick in that last 15 and passed it short putting ourselves under unecessary pressure. Still we held firm did not pick up any injuries and came awat with the draw which I would have taken before kick off. Fingers crossed Mo can be fit for Tuesday.

[Redder Lurtz]

Just whacked 25 on 0-0...goals guaranteed now.

 

Could you stick your winnings on another 0-0 on Tuesday please?

[magicrat]

Was fine until the last 10 and considering how unmatch fit he is did ok imo

 

Had little to do in the first half and offered little going forward, Under pressure 2nd half he wasn't good. Of course the lay off can't be ignored but he's going to have to go some to get ahead of TAA now

[3 Stacks]

to be fair, Firmino has been at least as bad since he came on.  The other two are obviously very rusty. 

 

 

Agreed. He was worse.

 

Yeah, what's worse, being shite for 90 minutes in pretty much the only game we needed them to be good in, or being shit for 20 minutes when having to play basically left wing back? 

[Tom araya]

All good,few lads getting game time,no injuries....oh and everyone are a pathetic excuse of a club.

[Grinch]

Clyne was offering fuck all before spending a year out injured.  He did better than expected.

[Saintslfc13]

Eh fuck it. We weren’t great by any stretch but we clearly went out to not over exert ourselves. Karius looks ready to hold the position down so thats £40-50m we can spend elsewhere. No injuries. I’ll take it.

[G Richards]

Kyle Martino spot on in the studio at NBC.

 

“Merseyside derby, against a Liverpool B team? If I’m an Everton fan that’s why I don’t want Allardyce to have the job.”
