Liverpool vs Everton. Tuesday, 28th January, 20.00

I said before the game that this would be a big game for Coutinho and that he'd need to put in hard shift helping the midfield. Well based on that half, give yourself a clap Phil, great half.

Raheem, brilliant yet again, that world cup spot has your name on it.

I just want to clarify that the bad bad feeling I had was mostly about the second half. I forgot to mention that earlier.

What a half ... So expected ... A few thoughts:

1) Gerrard is so up for this ... That shot from outside the box was Gerrard of old, the header (why hasnt he be in the box his whole career again?) and just fantastic leadership in the middle. Well done Captain.
2) Sturridge ... pure class.
3) Coutinho has had a very good game. Far far better.
4) Our defense has been very solid. Doesn't look too hesitant and Flanno has looked good.
5) Sterling is becoming undroppable.
6) Lukaku's injury was a game changer - it looks ankle ligament/break etc ... full recovery to the lad.
7) Not really happy with Atkinson's handling of the game. McCarthy should have had at least one yellow - be it for the foul on Suarez or the foul Atkinsom gave on STerling when he just bullied past him.
8) Barry is a cunt. He'd be a good free signing next year though.

Tonight notwithstanding, Martinez has been fucking ace for Neverton.

We'll see at the end of the season.
Apart from the obvious loans they made he's bought a few shite ex Wigan players.
McCarthy has been neat and tidy but he doesn't offer a lot and Alcaraz is wank.
I wouldn't be calling him the messiah just yet if I was a bitter.

Say what you have to say Gene.

 

[Oncy]

This is a disgrace. Wheres all the signings.
What are we doing, Rodgers is wasting money, were a fucking joke..
Etc.

Everton possession 58%

It's weird, we're playing like an away team, maybe BR realised we can't control the midfield, so we have to be compact, to be fair, it's working expertly, and I think it's caught Everton off guard.

Cracking quote on BBC

There are some glum faces in the Everton end. Turn your phones off lads, and see if you can work from home tomorrow.

 

[Mors]

Eat shite blueslime. Brilliant stuff.

 

[Red Bird]

I'm in utter shock and that's to put it mildly. Never in my wildest dreams. Sh!te referee, though. Utter, utter gumpf.

8) Barry is a cunt. He'd be a good free signing next year though.

Now that you mention it, I can see that happening. He's great mates with Gerrard as well, isn't he?

 

[Farkmaster]

Still some work to be done, there's definitely more goals in this, I'd prefer if they were all ours.

 

[keniget]

2-1 to Arsenal. Cazorla. Southampton are poo. Shaw left up in attack and no-one covering for him.

 

[Shadey]

Suarez to score 2nd half please

 

[keniget]

Fuck! 2-2.

 

[Judge Jules]

2-2 at So'ton. Sounds like an amazing game.

 

[dantes]

Southampton beating the Arse.

Sh!t. The Arse equalise.

I'm going to return to plotting the deaths of some of you people if this bullshit doesn't stop. Just fucking stop it. Fucks sake

 

[Mamma Mia]

That's a rubbish team. Our chance of winning this is actually by turning this into an ugly old-school derby battle.

lol

We've always been better at counter attacking this year

 

[Markeh]

fantastic I didn't realise Barry slipped in the process of trying to mark Gerrard for the first goal and wiped out Lukaku's ankle

 

[Fox]

Sturidge must be one our best transfers for cost ever.

 

[OLD_Lewy]

suarez has been quiet by his standards

 

[Leo]

Why the fuck isn't MOTD on tonight?

 

[hmmmmm1]

studge second goal was just unreal

 

[dantes]

2-1 to Arsenal. Cazorla. Southampton are poo. Shaw left up in attack and no-one covering for him.

2-2 at So'ton. Sounds like an amazing game.

Thank you. This is how it is done.

 

[Fox]

Why the fuck isn't MOTD on tonight?

More games tomorrow.

 

[Mamma Mia]

Well this is fun.

We fully deserve the 3 goal lead. We're playing some superb football.

Love it.

4) Our defense has been very solid. Doesn't look too hesitant and Flanno has looked good.

I tend to disagree. I think we've looked a bit dodgy (as normal) but the ball has fallen kindly. For example, that run across the box from Mirallas had 3 Everton players stood unmarked and if the ball had fallen to one of those we'd have been in deep trouble. However, games are decided on such fine margins so I'd take another rub-of-the-green 45 minutes. And yes, the 5"11' Flanagan has looked good a right back.

 

[Frogfish]

That said, I hope we don't just sit back and let them come at us in the second half. We are not a great side without the ball and will eventually concede.

On the contrary .... we are the best counter-attacking side in the PL. The more Everton throw at us in the 2nd half the greater our chance of a breakaway adding the 4th.

Suarez / Sturridge / Sterling & Coutinho running at Stones, Alcarez, Jagielka and Barry (Baines is almost always upfield) ? No contest.
