Everton v Liverpool - Match Thread

Nice bit of play there, maybe tried to work it too hard

 

[mom]

Yeh sad to see him off but booked anyway so it’s cool kinda sorta

 

[Mystic]

Great play from Keita, unlucky one of our players couldn't find a shooting position.

 

[Modo]

Great play by Keita there.

Can see Salah coming on early in the second half

We are definitely missing something with him out.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Keita has had a decent last five minutes

 

[Shadey]

Our number eight probably our best player this half.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Half time.

We're as flat as we were before the break.

 

[Mystic]

Keita has really bossed the midfield this half, he's been fantastic.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Ok, 45 minutes in the books. A bit meh but we still have other gears to find. Naby has played well overall and our back four have been untroubled, besides the injury.

 

[Mystic]

I also think Minamino has been good, problem for him is he isn't Salah, who we do miss.

 

[keniget]

Not the most exciting of games but to be expected.

Another reminder of why we need more options up front in the summer.

 

[Farkmaster]

It's so difficult to evaluate. We've had a lot of games like this, but it seems way less eventful when there's no crowd.

I wish firmino had rolled that one chance along to mane.

I think if this keeps going this way for another 45 we will find a goal though as we find our rhythm.

 

[cochyn]

Sort of feeling our way back into the season sort of game.

 

[Modo]

The biggest positive is that we look like the home team so far.

 

[gkmacca]

Stick Origi on, play him through the centre.

Stick Origi on, play him through the centre.

Not a bad shout

 

[Bradley]

The quality will shine through in the end.

It was Keita

Or Pickford will drop a bollock.

Keita, you wacist

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Ox coming on

 

[MomoWASright]

We’ve been camped in their half for most of the first 45.

Is Salah coming on?

 

[mom]

Interesting

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

Ox on for Minamino

 

[Shay_K]

OX in for Minamino

 

[Shay_K]

COME ON YOU RED MEN

 

[rurikbird]

The game started listlessly with both teams looking way off form (which suited Everton more, naturally), but as the half progressed our flow started coming back little by little and by the end we were in almost total control, except for the scoreline. Klopp will ask for of the same in the 2nd half, but Ancelotti will need to how to create any counter-play, because the long balls to DCL and Richarlison stopped working after 20 minutes.

On we go!

 

[mom]

Ten mins then it’s Salah o’clock

 

[mom]

Nice move
