Topic: Half time: Everton 1-0 Liverpool

[Andy82lfc]

YOU KNOW WHEN YOU’RE BEING FUCKED…


THIS IS IT!


I’m done - The referee is clearly a biased twat…


EVERY PIECE of contact on an Everton player was rewarded with a free kick…


A foul on a Liverpool player rarely resulted in a free kick… I counted 1…


Just give the title to Man Coty or Arsenal…


I’d rather we were beaten fairly….


Everton Vs Forest — NO FOULS for anything


This game apparently there is a HIGH BAR - what does that mean —- Free kicks for Everton

Not disagreeing with refs being shit but the ref probably does a better job of clearing before the goal. Fucking atrocious defending. Also all the help from a ref isn’t getting is a goal. They need to start finishing for fucks sake!

[thejbs]

I think they've got the VAR lines wrong, again.

I don’t. There was a Liverpool foot (Konate?) playing him on.

[.adam]

Cannot be arsed with Nunez anymore I'm afraid

[Stan.]

If we win this league, I think Arsenal and Man City will be scratching their heads and wondering how a team that concedes a goal like that can finish above them. That’s the difference really and that’s why ultimately we’ll probably finish 3rd.

[Ski]

Missed big chances but the ref is really boiling my piss. 2fks we’ve had the whole half but according to him we’re already into double figures for fouls then booked VVD for calling him out on it.

He’s completely disrupting any rhythm we build by constantly blowing up for minimal to no contact but not giving us the same decisions. So infuriating. GGGRRRRR!!!

[killer-heels]

That Nunez chance gets worse every time you see it, why cant he just place it

Variance.

[Caps4444]

What VAR line?

They only drew the Liverpool line. They didn’t draw the line from Braithwaite. Normally you draw 2 lines

[JP!]

Was Nunez the only one who missed a chance then yeah?  No inexplicable layoffs from Salah while in behind the defence and no shot straight at the keeper from Diaz?

[TepidT2O]

Danns is worth a shot in the second half, Elliott also.

Danns played pretty much the whole U23 game on Monday. He won’t have much more than 20 in his legs

[Bincey]

Carragher talking absolute shite.

What's he saying?

[swoopy]

The VAR line was wrong, they didn’t draw the Everton line.

Just look at the lines on the pitch. He's clearly onside.

[Nick110581]

They only drew the Liverpool line. They didn’t draw the line from Braithwaite. Normally you draw 2 lines

Because he is behind and not offside.

[Dree]

They only drew the Liverpool line. They didn’t draw the line from Braithwaite. Normally you draw 2 lines

If they overlap you only see one.

[lgvkarlos]

Robbo has had so many good opportunities to cross and just zero quality. Honestly think we actually play better football with Gomez and Bradley playing and Elliott should be in our team.

[Caston]

That Nunez chance gets worse every time you see it, why cant he just place it

He has zero composure.

[QC]

Was Nunez the only one who missed a chance then yeah?  No inexplicable layoffs from Salah while in behind the defence and no shot straight at the keeper from Diaz?

He has missed the most - sadly we can't really sub all three.

[jillcwhomever]

Ref has been better than us

Better in what way? He's been shite.

[killer-heels]

Was Nunez the only one who missed a chance then yeah?  No inexplicable layoffs from Salah while in behind the defence and no shot straight at the keeper from Diaz?

He wasnt but his chance was by far the easiest.

[Eeyore]

Branthwaite scored from a shot that he basically hit straight at Ali.

[vladis voice]

Just need to keep playing like last ten minutes and we will turn this round, ref has been amazing giving them free kicks every chance he gets…there were a couple of occasions late in half when we won the ball and our players just stopped expecting a whistle

[Crosby Nick]

Wasnt the freekick that lead to their comedy goal, a non freekick, like most of their freekicks.
Ref is shocking

Yeah, lost track of them, but just a light touch and flop to the ground. Rinse and repeat. Then Carragher says we’re giving away too many fouls. No shit.

[S]

Darwin has to go. Nowhere near good enough and he’s had a long time to settle in now.

[Fordy]

We vastly need to improve and quick.

[Darren G]

2 points above City but agree we have to win really

Yeah, I edited it already. I knew it was two, no idea why I wrote one, but...well, that first half.

[slotmachine]

The Slot machine will fix this…

I wish i could mate!!!!!

[Draex]

That’s not been him for two seasons though. Granted recently he’s been poor, but let’s not pretend he’s played like this since his arrival.

You can’t have your number 9 so hot and cold, it’s not even his finishing which is shit, he’s all over the show, slips all the time, he’s chaos of the wrong kind.

[Coolie High]

Was Nunez the only one who missed a chance then yeah?  No inexplicable layoffs from Salah while in behind the defence and no shot straight at the keeper from Diaz?

That was a good layoff by Salah, how many players can score like that on a half volley with their weaker foot? He made the best decision in that situation, and the pass was ok too, it’s up to the forwards to react quicker than the Everton defence.

[Trotterwatch]

Why are we suddenly so bad at finishing?  As for the ref, everything given to them even for blatant dives.

[Pistolero]

Get Danns on for any one of the front three, they've all been equally fkn atrocious...

[Caps4444]

Because he is behind and not offside.

Ok just seems without the lines he’s off. Wonder why they didn’t draw both.

[Sat1]

Danns for Nunez

[Dree]

Was Nunez the only one who missed a chance then yeah?  No inexplicable layoffs from Salah while in behind the defence and no shot straight at the keeper from Diaz?

Diaz volleying a dropping ball. Nunez sets himself ball at his feet, still smashes it straight at the keeper.

[supaerheraw]

I wish i could mate!!!!!

[Samie]

Carragher talking absolute shite.

I hope Slot bans him from Anfield and Kirkby.

[collytum]

Slow and ponderous build up and 3 forwards who cannot be relied on for a goal. No one deserves any credit for that first half.

[andy07]

45 minutes to save the Title challenge.  How many of the team are up for this?

[mattD]

That forward line performance is hopeless. Salah just not on it sadly, maybe age is catching up but we can't keep relying on him. It's the other two that are big concerns. What is going on with Darwin - agent of chaos is agent AWOL now. As for Diaz, the usual poor link up and slow disruptive play, doesn't offer any presence deeper in midfield. Runs tirelessly but more headless chicken than laser precision attack like Mane for example.

Throw Danns in, inject something into this sterile attack.

[disgraced cake]

Konate has had a pretty faultless season up until these last few weeks, all of a sudden he looks fucking terrible, what's happened to him? The error for the goal not even the most frustrating thing either.

Agree with that post above about Salah/Nunez/Szoboszlai killing us. Got to change something IMO, I'd get Elliott on in some capacity but would have to be midfield. So Salah stays on then. I really would throw Danns on, Nunez has had an absolute howler, I'm more frustrated about the poor touches other than a couple of good chances, the one where Trent found him central inside the box ... wow, just sums him up at the minute.

If we don't break them down by the hour I'd expect defeat. A draw isn't good enough anyway.

[Claire.]

They only drew the Liverpool line. They didn’t draw the line from Braithwaite. Normally you draw 2 lines

They don’t show the two lines any more, just one whether it’s on or off

[Buster Gonad]

We're so poor defensively and always end up frantically trying to equalise. They're still pretty shite though so I'm not giving up by any stretch.
