Bitters v Liverpool match thread

[gkmacca]

Thank god that's over. I really despair about Everton fans. Coutinho fell over the hoardings and some loon tried to hit him. They've really gone feral.

 

[Markeh]

And yet it was Ings who got subbed... beggars belief

I had a couple of ££ on Liverpool win and Sturridge goal in 90mins, can only assume Rodgers had the same

 

[willby]

Sakho would kill him, then eat his children.

Hahaha.. would be funny if weren't playing so shyte..

 

[Dreambeliever]

Three years on and we look clueless.

Time for a change

 

[Shadey]

How are we only 3 points off 4th we've been shite.

 

[C/O]

Did lukaku say he was shite at charity or something?

I was genuinely worried Sakho was going to murder him.

 

[mark1975]

Awful again.

Harsh. Poor second half but in terms of fight we did well. It wasn't awful, considering our recent lack of effort.

 

[Hansern]

Studge was anonymous

Thats not strange when you've had a lengthy lay off. You're often good and fresh the first few games and then you get that dip before getting back to full fitness

 

[hmmmmm1]

Everton are shite, they were missing stones and coleman from the backline.


And we still coundnt beat them.

 

[ibromurph]

Goodison Park isn't an easy place to go to. They've been in good form too. A satisfactory result. Now we have to start winning our home games.

 

[FoxForceFive]

"will you be ok for England?"

Who. Gives. A. Fuck.

I had a listen the the anfield wrap last week and they went out of their way to stress that Sturridge looks like he's playing with no fear of injury. I don't see that at all, imo he's avoiding unnecessary sprints, challenges and generally holding back a bit. Plus like you say he's not properly fit yet.

Probably a good 90mins for his fitness

I said that a well or so ago, he often comes back & scores again then his performances dip for a few weeks whilst he finds his match fitness. It's understandable.

Has Hodgon been interviewed already?

 

[Markeh]

Has Hodgon been interviewed already?

no mention of mentality so no

 

[jexykrodic]

We were neither 'awful'or 'shite'. Calm down.

We were competitive but lacked a little creativity is all.

Good point, could've been three points but for an unlucky ricochet off Skrtel.

 

[Judge Jules]

So this is what Utopia feels like.

 

[mark1975]

Christ theres a ridiculous lack of perspective on here at times.

 

[dee]

Think overall I'd give us a B- for that. The first 35-40 mins were really, really good with Moreno taking the piss and Ings looking really strong.

 

[jan]

Almost like that famous victory at Bolton

 

[gene hughes]

Highlight was Sakho's angry eyes.

 

[keniget]

I think you missed the first half.?

I actually did but only first 20mins.

I thought we were awful. If it was just the derby I wouldn't be harsh about it as they can get scrappy but it's no real different to other games at the moment.

 

[Red Mullet]

So this is what Utopia feels like.

Wait, you didn't have Old Faithful on during the first half, only the second, and our performances were the reverse of that.

I think we know where the fault lies.

 

[gkmacca]

I didn't think it was too bad an effort, given the standard of recent performances. Ings is a breath of fresh air. Most of the players fought fairly hard. Lucas played the pass of his career in the first half, and got booked for a perfectly fair interception (idiotic trip mind you). Ming again showed that, for all of his inadequacies, he's an outstanding shot stopper. Neither Coutinho nor Milner were on song but at least Milner kept working and trying. Atkinson, as per, was abysmal.

 

[Vlads Quiff]

I thought everyone would be prettypleased with that considering most thought we were going to get twatted

 

[Portly]

I know Lucas has a big fan club but I would love us to sell him. I hate his stupid, clumsy fouls. They aren't even competent fouls. It's not what you want to see in a defensive midfielder. I feel so nostalgic for Mascherano! 🙁

 

[cloggypop]

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

A bit better performance and fight wise and getting a result at that shithole ain't a bad result.

Can we now get round to fucking Rodgers off?

 

[gene hughes]

Actually that's probably the highlight of the season so far.
