Topic: Half time: Everton 1-2 Liverpool

[smicer07]

We don't half get complacent at times.

[S]

Had enough chances early on to be out of sight. You can't miss those in a derby at Goodison, because Everton will always raise their game and have their own spell. That's what happened and from here on out it will be a pure scrap. Would be really disappointing not to come away with three points here, and yet it would hardly be surprising either.

[JackWard33]

Microcosm of our season

The actual best team on the planet going forward… vulnerable at the back

[gazzalfc]

Theres going to be red cards in this.

[88_RED]

I think we need to control our emotions a bit..
Some of our players are a bit too wound up.. Hendo, Robbo and TAA in particular..

Need composure and the chances will come..

[Gods_Left_Boot]

Should be out of sight by now. Hopefully we'll put them to the sword early second half and make it more comfortable.

[lgvkarlos]

Brain fart from VVD and Matip has changed the game and atmosphere, some brilliant football from us though.

Oh, and Hendo has been brilliant.

[Sharado]

Lifted from Viz.

Football fans should chant ‘you do know what you are doing’ when the ref does a good job.

I was impressed with the two legitimate simulation yellows.

Yeah completely agree. In that ground that was ballsy and he was 100% right on both. Actually think he's done ok so far.

[Avens]

Anyone know this bellend? Wall pushing gesture on his way out after 20 minutes.

[wige]

3 points and to get out unscathed please.

Horrific bunch of filthy c*nts these blues.

[ToneLa]

Put these yard dogs down

[Wengerpresser101]

Hectic game dis. Like how we attack. Defending could be better tho, like with the Matip and TAA instance Everton goal.

Think it'll be more of the same second half, something like 4-2 final score. We just gotta control the game abit more. 

[Lee-87]

I see Rafa being there hasn't phased out any of their shitthousery. Dogs of wars, now with extra diving.

[Trotterwatch]

Dirty cheating bastards.  I anticipate Everton fans are going to be furious about that as we all know how much they despise diving.

[RyanBabel19]

We should be out of sight

Dominant for most of the half then just let them back into it. Van Dijk was poor for the goal, just stood off and allowed the pass

We’ve taken the game to better sides than Everton this season. Step it up and we win convincingly

[McSquared]

Should be out of sight here, crank it up even more in the second half and put the bitters to bed

[StevoHimself]

Very worrying end to the half. Felt like we didn't really start again after that long stoppage (I think it was about half an hour in). Need to regroup and get a third early in the second half.

[Ghost Town]

Stopped playing after the second goal, again. Why do we do it? Why? It's really hard to get that intensity and smoothness back again if we concede.

[Son of Spion]

We should be out of sight. Another cheap goal gifted to shite opposition.

We are a million miles better than these toxic twats.

Bitters are Gobshites!

[Wabaloolah]

It's clear Thiago isn't allowed to go near an opposition player.

Not sure I've ever seen a player get more soft freekicks and bookings given against them.

no idea how he managed to get booked either

[OkieRedman]

The defense fell asleep for two seconds and got punished. We stopped playing and let them get a foot hold. No clue how many times they are going to step off the gas at 2-0 get sloppy and let the other side back into it. If they want to kill the game with possession they need to be much more assured with the ball. Same story different week. If we do not win again from being 2-0 up I will be pretty damn upset.

[glewis93]

They're the most pathetic bunch of fans around. Some of the behaviour has just been vitriolic, they shame their club over and over.

The Everton players will want this to be chaotic, we need to get our foot on the ball early in the 2nd half and keep them chasing shadows. Try to kill this off so we can get out of that shithole in one piece.

[Gnurglan]

Good start, but we faded after 2-0. Good goals. Like Henderson's overall involvement, not just for his 1+1. Want us to get back to how we started.

[12C]

Tierney is in danger of losing control.
How he gave that free kick when Dross Townsend was pulling Thiago shirt was incredible.
These are out to kick us off the pitch second half.

They are baying for their players to lunge in and hurt our lads.

[UntouchableLuis]

We should score at least 1 more if we keep the attacking quality up. Matip has been shaky.

[Circa1892]

Poor game management against a poor side. Eye off the ball for a bit there.

Would be tempted to bring Neco on as Trent doesn’t seem at it.

Just need to keep the ball for 15 minutes or so while they run aimlessly round the pitch tiring themselves out.

So clear that Ferguson really managed this team.

[JRed]

We got bogged down by the fouling after a blistering start. Start the second half fast and put this to bed.

[Clint Eastwood]

Think Alisson rushes out a bit too far/soon for the goal.

Fuck me this game is mad. Two yellows for diving. An absolute opera every time they’re booked. Fans leaving after 20 minutes, clocked the prick doing pushing gestures on his way out. Kicking another ball on to the pitch to stop us attacking. Everton for you.


Anyway, we need another goal.

[Fruity]

Excellent first 30 minutes and then we seem to have that lull where inevitably we lose concentration. They score with pretty much their first chance but how when we are 2-0 up is there that much space.

Need to come and kill the crowd because they have gone from a team who were giving up to a team that thinks they have a chance. Disappointing after an excellent opening period.

[Redsnappa]

Dragged down to their level last 20 of that half and we paid the price.

[Nobby Reserve]

Twatted them, should have been 3/4 up, then concede a sloppy goal from nothing.

Two fucking brilliant strikes for our goals, though.

[Trotterwatch]

I see Rafa being there hasn't phased out any of their shitthousery. Dogs of wars, now with extra diving.

That's the only way they know how to play, that's the mistake all of their recent managers have made - Everton rarely play football.

[stockdam]

They had given up and their fans were walking out…..then we turn off and let them back into the game. Incredible that we have only scored two goals.

We need to keep our heads now and play the ball on the ground; don’t let it turn into a scrappy game.

Richarlison acting Billy-big-balls pushing Jota in the back after Jota was fouled.

We are the better team so let’s go on and destroy them.

[Agent99]

Game management was truly awful at 2-0.

Should be over.

It was in the Brentford and Brighton games. Something we need to sort out.

[Golyo]

WTF happened after 0:2?

[kennedy81]

Hendo has been screaming at Trent all game and he’s still in like cruise mode, needs to sort that out.

I think Trent is just trying to not let the crowd rattle him, and is maybe being a bit too relaxed at times.

[Ultimate Bromance]

What a truly atrocious goal to concede, this game should be well and truly out of sight. We knew it, they knew it, then bam, we gift them hope.

Get this done 10 minutes into the 2nd half lads, fuck sake.

[TheShanklyGates]

How many yellows have they had? They’re fucking terrible, I’ll be so upset if this isn’t an absolute pasting at the end.

4 so far. 2 of them for dives so blatant the ref couldn't ignore them.

Horrible, horrible team.

[StL-Dono]

Without a few lucky bounces on 50/50s, they've barely had any attack at all.  But, feels like Brentford/Brighton...    

Matip looks slow and out of it to me.  Uncharacteristically poor from him.

[duvva 💅]

Brilliant first 20 mins then took the foot off and let them back in. We’re so superior we can’t let this go the same way as Brentford or Brighton. Should have been 4 up really.

Need to up it again at the start of the second half and finish them off
