Salzburg (H) 2/10/19 - Champions of Europe League

[Grinch]

That'll do.   We're racking up the wins despite being nowhere near our best.   

 

Take six points that we should off Genk and we're laughing.

Well he’s succeeding!

Sloppy as fuck performance. You could see the lethargy spread through the team at 3-0.

[Anubis]

But you know what, we were down, we were rocking, but we dug it out again. Well done boys.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

It went from smooth, free flowing, tails up football, to nail biting horror show, back to calm and relaxed.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

We won a game without a penalty or VAR.

 

 

[dockers_strike]

That was a shit show of defending 2nd half. Maybe van Dijk is having a very rare drop in form? But it's a win and 3 points which is what we needed.

[suzy]

Well we won in the end but that was crazy.

[Captain Turdseye]

Got it done eventually. 

 

Piss easy group isn’t looking so easy now.

Mad game that. 

 

The 3 points is all that matters. But, there's a few elements to our game that we need to address before a better team punishes us. Fabinho was good first half but looked gassed late on. The amount of times that they just waltzed through our midfield was a concern. 

[magicrat]

Last three games have been dodgy . Leicester will fancy the job

[Harry Squatter]

Went 3 nil up and probably thought they could coast the game out to save energy for Saturday.

Hope Klopp's tapping up a few of their players at the end there. 

 

Can't believe we were trying for a fifth goal near the end! Our left back was near their box with two minutes to go! 

[Ben Sherman]

Fabinho's a good player, lacks pace, so he can't play midfield on own. Milner might be 50 but he's a better player than both Henderson and the invisible man

 

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

We've been far too open in most of our games this season. Even going back to pre-season if truth be told.

 

Been very concerning how easily it is to get in behind us as how many chances opposing teams create against us.

 

Can't blame it all on Gomez tonight (as bad as he was at times) for the reasons above. Gini and Hendo were fucking abysmal. No surprise we perked up considerably when they went off.

 

Need to get our shit together for the Leicester game as we've been lucky as fuck in the past few games.

[Anubis]

Hope it’s us and Salzburg who go through from this group. They remind me of Norwich - good psss and move football, willing to give it a good go, but a bit soft at the back.

[Jordy Brouwer]

Milner was awesome. He's always awesome. I wish he'd started and hope he starts against Leicster. I prefer him to Henderson tbh.

Yeh.  It was a smart change by Klopp at the right time

? What 

[dockers_strike]

everton fans hitting the Salzburg forums telling what a bunch of shits they are for blowing a 3-3 game.

[an tha]

What the fuck was that all about!

 

Take the win of course and we did fight back after the blow of throwing away a 3 goal lead - so that shows balls, but bloody hell we were too complacent at 3-0, sloppy and not at it properly.

 

Hopefully that is a wake up call - been an age since we looked that flakey so as a one off and still a winning one then ok no big deal....but it really should act as a reminder about not slacking, keeping the attitude and application right and doing the basics properly.

Lol. Thats..... just Everton. Everton in a nutshell. 

[ZonkoVille77]

Sublime to ridiculous.

We've gotten away with it so far but there's danger up ahead. Few players out of form and completely goosed. Leicester will be a nightmare and I wouldn't be surprised if we lose that game. Not all doom and gloom but something isn't right.

 

3 points and fuck everyone and fuck everything.
