Topic: Half time: Liverpool 0-0 Everton

[Keita Success]

Bit sloppy. Not had the final ball yet.

Need to stop taking pot shots.

[rocco]

Don’t need all these long shots our front three and midfield three are talented enough to go at them

[Gili Gulu]

Think we've managed one shot on target so far, which Pickford should have dealt with easily. Really need to up our intensity, we've been sloppy quite a few times in good positions, and we need to discover our shooting boots.

Ashley Young is great, look at that tracking back, he's still got it at 38, so experienced, that's why he's brought in, gives you that solidity, nothing rash


30 seconds later

[Golyo]

Our usual 12:30 performance after an international break. 3 matches worth of mistakes in only one half.

[Yorkykopite]

Sounds like a 1970s Derby minus the atmosphere.

[RedKenWah]

It’s only a matter of time, they can’t keep defending like this for 90 mins and with 1 man less then the goal once scored will kick off many others.

Also TNT sport stream has been utterly dreadful, keeps cutting out, had about 8 or 9 cut outs which isn’t good enough.

[Redsnappa]

Szoboslai has been excellent, Gravenberch quiet, McAllister hit & miss. Get it together second half lads and we'll marmelize these.

[rafathegaffa83]

Attack needs to wake up and go at Pickford

[JackWard33]

Braindead in the final third
Stop shooting from distance and hold the ball higher up the pitch, build  pressure
We made it far far too easy for them

Elliot for Diaz whenever you like

[harrylfc]

Hate hate hate these 12:30 ko’s
No atmosphere at all,everyone just seems half asleep..
Just need thst final ball to be better,not quite getting the break of ball either

[y2w902]

Anyone seen a reply of the tackle on Jota at the end? Was it reviewed? I normally like McCoist but he can shut the fuck up about harsh.

[sminp]

So what happened at the end there? Jota gets chopped down does it even go to VAR for them to check it, referee blows his whistle straight away. We need to be told as to whether incidents like this even get looked at? Having said that we have been poor in the final third we need to wake up as do the crowd, it's been an awful atmosphere.

It didn’t look a foul in fairness, it looked like he got the ball. The players didn’t appeal either which is telling, only the fans.

[slotmachine]

Who kidnapped Mo? Can we have the real one back second half. His touch and passing have been miles off.

[Gili Gulu]

Bit sloppy. Not had the final ball yet.

Need to stop taking pot shots.

Personally don't mind longer range shots if more of them are on target.

[naka]

Salah not at the races which means we’re struggling in the final third.

As poor a half from Mo as I have seen in a while .
Hopefully second half we turn the screw .

[Crosby Nick]

Nothing silly second half and we win this.

Don’t give me he ref an excuse to level it up. Move them around and don’t just sling crosses in. And in case of emergency break glass for Darwin. Could probably bring him in for a midfielder of Tsimikas if we really wanted to push it.

[Chakan]

Szoboslai has been excellent, Gravenberch quiet, McAllister hit & miss. Get it together second half lads and we'll marmelize these.

You must be watching a different game mate.

[ac]

We've lacked sharpness in the final 3rd and Everton have fought like lions. If we keep patient 2nd half and we will score once they tire.

[AndyMuller]

Don’t see it with Mac Allister myself.

Need to put these away now.

[I've been a good boy]

Absolute snoozefest

[Simonm1982]

Jota not quite doing enough. Get Nunez on to create some havoc. Should be leading

[jillcwhomever]

First time in EIGHT YEARS an opposition player has gotten a second yellow against us in the PL. “GOOD PROCESS” indeed.

Very very very sloppy though. So many sloppy touches and passes, should be out of sight already. Should destroy them in the second half but…

What happened to the VAR check there at the end for the Jota foul in the box?

Asked the same question in the commentary. It's not good enough that no one knows if it was even looked at.

[SMASHerano]

Gravenberchs touch is something else. Said it the last month they operate like Dr Octopus’s tentacles. They’ve got a mind of their own. There was a. Moment where he kept the ball in on the touch line at the end of the 39th minute and he was in front of the ball and somehow his feet kept the ball in. Everton got the ball from it but he’s a nuts player. Bit like Zidane in that sense where his feet are just fucking mental

Noticed that. Deserves to be given more starts Ryan, his potential is very exciting.

[killer-heels]

Szoboslai has been excellent, Gravenberch quiet, McAllister hit & miss. Get it together second half lads and we'll marmelize these.

Szoboszlai has been good but he needs to manage his shot taking. We need to work them side to side and build pressure, not try screamers all the time. Same applies to Trent.

[Jean Girard]

Not been bad. But misplacing too many balls around the box and got dragged down to their level for a bit.

Get into them and there are goals here. 

[Knight]

It was absolutely fine before this switch but Discovery+ is awful judging on that half.

On the international coverage at least they said var was checking and the check was complete.  But then we know what check complete looks like!

[kennedy81]

I think Trent and Dom are having a bit of a shooting contest between them. Both looking to be the man of the hour with a spectacular goal.

[rocco]

Personally don't mind longer range shots if more of them are on target.

We don’t need to , with the talent we have

[Butcher Knife Roberto]

Cue the Dyche wall in the second half, he'll have a back six camped out on the 18 yard line to protect a point. Think this one is crying out for Darwin to come on and stretch their backline, and generally cause chaos. Weird game though, we're almost cracking them but it's the usual 12:30 post-international break stuff for now. I was thinking Alexis was a bit rusty but then he sent in a couple of absolute belters. Ryan is looking super comfortable though for a first start, I'm liking a lot of his movement. We should have enough for this, but it is that lot after all so fuck knows what will happen.

[OkieRedman]

The final ball has been bad, but some of the movement in the box is also not great. That Trent cross should be in the net. Someone needs to be busting a gut to get to the goal there.

[Wool]

Diaz is a really frustrating player. Hopefully Nunez is on at HT in his place.

[Cesar]

Nil nil incoming, unless we get a pen

[RK7]

So sloppy in possession again, if we want to be great again then have got to be more ruthless.

[jillcwhomever]

It didn’t look a foul in fairness, it looked like he got the ball. The players didn’t appeal either which is telling, only the fans.

You still need to know its been reviewed though. The commentator says it will go to VAR presumably but how do we actually know? This is where they need to be better.

[killer-heels]

Personally don't mind longer range shots if more of them are on target.

They are lower percentage chances and gives Everton the ability to break momentum.

[Studgotelli]

Sloppy all round

[Fromola]

The quietest derby I’ve seen since COVID.

Every 12:30 game is the same.

[DelTrotter]

Diaz is a really frustrating player. Hopefully Nunez is on at HT in his place.

That shit pass when we had 3 players through on goal was infuriating
