Everton (A) 3/3/19

[Carvalho Diablo]

Midfield still our problem. Fabinho excellent but we have no creativity at all. Keita and Ox may be the answer but we know Henderson, Milner, Lallana and Wijnaldum  aren't. 

 

As big of a shithouse that he is, I'd have Coutinho back in a flash.

4 draws in 6 now.

 

We are throwing this away.

 

Absolutely shit ourselves in front of goal again today.

 

 

5 draws in 7 if you count the Bayern game.

Just not been good enough taking our chances lads. Can't say we didn't have them. Watford away was similar but we got the result. We take our chances here and we praise the performance. 

We're now in the position we all thought we'd be in, i.e. behind city. Out of our hands. 

Let's not get too despondent though. Only a point behind with 7 of our 9 games if not at very winnable.

Frustrated to say the least

Winnable? You can't win if you don't score.

HiTerrible use of subs today totally baffling

Generally it is.  It’s all so predictable as well.  There’s a fear factor in his subs.  Shaqiri would have come on for a midfielder near the start of the season.

 

We were good first half but the confidence went and when it goes our tactical set up is laid bare.  We don’t get players wide enough.  When Origi went off it was game over.  We didn’t create a chance.  Not for how well he played but for how narrow we become.  With Mane playing centrally and doing well at watford he was never going to go back to being the wide man when Firmino came back in.  He had one of his anti-Salah games as well.  It’s gone.

Klopp can get to fuck if he thinks Lallana is ever a better option than XS. Leaving Hendo on should be a stackable offense.

 

Fun while it lasted. Bye bye league challenge. City will win it by about 5 points 

[Joey8FrogsLegs]

Van Dijk and Allison excellent. Fabinho and Robertson good.

 

The rest were piss poor.

 

Edit: TAA also ok, saved us on the back post on at least two occasions.

Word.

 

I'd give my right bollock to have Phil back.

[Luckyhillkop]

We deserve this because we think a draw at a shit man utd was decent. Winning mentality? Fuck who needs that. At least we challenged yeah? Fuck this. 

[Joso]

Starting our captain is a mistake. Why has Shaquiri stopped playing lately?

City now 1/3 for the title.

It's just a hope that we can keep in touch with City till the manc derby. We can't count on Spurs but the mancs might actually need to win? We'd have to beat Chelsea and Spurs at home.

We've choked ultimately due to a lack of real quality squad depth.

I disagree here. We played even worse after Bobby came on.

[an tha]

On another note after the glow of putting a spanner in our works has faded i would be spewing if i was an evertonian.........their team has clearly short changed them all season and failed to put a proper shift in week after week.

[Harry Squatter]

Yet another big game that Liverpool just don't turn up for or just play like they've got 2 weeks to score a goal. 

[Red House]

Pathetic unambitious substitutions, deserved no title win with this kind of shithousing. Can't believe we ended this game with both Henderson still on, despite his cowardly performance in the second half.

[clangers]

Klopp has been very conservative recently too which is a bit of a surprise.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Any Everton fans who think they have cost us the league are deluded. You gifted us 3 points and we've taken 4 out of 6 from you whilst playing absolute dogshit.

Klopp's shat himself. Gone ultra conservative in just about every way since January and we're paying the price. 0-0's are fucking useless with the absolute juggernaut we're trying to contend with.

Exactly. Its not a good result. We have lost the league only losing twice.

 

Every draw is 2 points dropped. No idea why its considered a good result, unless against a direct rival

[J-V]

Klopp needs to grow some balls and just go for it though it could well be to late now.  No more three midfielders who prefer to defend.  Stick Keita in and Shaq and win games 5-4 if need be.

I disagree here. We played worse with our first XI on the pitch tonight.

I'm referring to the last two months or so. We've clearly lacked quality options to rotate. The front three look right off it at times and we've not got sufficient quality to go to.

This ignores the fact that they only exist to frustrate Liverpool. 

[an tha]

We'll be 4 pts adrift by time we next kick off....Bulldog spirit Sean Dyche to rock up at Anfield and grab a 0-0 in a 'fantastic rearguard performance' to virtually end it.

[Creator Supreme]

Can't say I'm shocked, just depressed, we could now win every remaining game and finish second with 1 defeat all season, just not good enough all around!

 

I blame Klopp and I blame FSG, the lack of depth is appalling, another great opportunity tossed away!

[stringvest]

Our forward line has been poor for a long time.  Firmino in particular is shocking.  We need to take pressure off them.    Remove Henderson - permanently - and play Lallana for the rest of the season.  We need someone who will make the runs from midfield and create space for our forwards.  Someone with bravery on the ball.  Keita gets another season, as he cost a fortune and we need to give him a chance to come good.  Henderson and Wijnaldum need to go, and Milner needs to play from the start, albeit sparingly.
