Honestly mate. You couldn’t dream up a more ‘Everton way’ to ruin their own Cup Final yet again haha. I didn’t think Sadio’s winner could be beat but that topped the lot!

That said, it was a pleasant surprise to see them actually come and play football for once instead of the usual ‘kicking ***** out of anything in Red.’ Fair play to Silva for that. Should hopefully make the Derby competitive again going forward for the first time in like forever.

But seriously. The midgit armed gobshite ..... ‘I’ll never make a mistake like Alisson ...... ‘ XD XD XD XD XD
 
FA Cup third round draw tonight at half 7 on the BBC. Still the single best football day of the year for me.

One of Barnet, Brentford, Gillingham, Grimsby, Lincoln, Oxford, Walsall ,Woking or Guisley/ Solihull/ Newport, if they get through, for a new ground please. (Alrhough I presume Guisley and Solihull would get flipped to Bradford and Birmingham respectively?).

But NOT on a Monday night ta very much.

Good selection of new grounds for once for me personally.

Failing that the Ev will do nicely again!

In fairness they really gave you a hard game.

They did. Pleasantly surprising to see them come and have a proper go. And then be so organised defensively when legs tired. Been TOO long since Everton done that at Anfield.

Our ‘friends’ over the other thread won’t like to read it but they’re a much better side than Utd.

Just because we like to go back-and-forth on the FB’s mate .....

Don’t know if it came over on the telly but Fabinho, who had another excellent outing before he tired IMHO, was slotting into the RB role often yeaterday covering Trent.

Such an intelligent, elegamt footballer. Been mad how people have been cliff jumping on him and Naby thus far.

Looking better with each game the longer he fully gets down what we expect of him.

Wolves away.

Happy with that.


Nice and handy. I was fearing Swansea away on a Monday night the end there which wouldn’t have been good.

most of the league is much better than us at the mo
 
I keep reading the nonsense that is watch when we get back to last season form. Sure we played great stuff but in the league it was not sustainable. Finishing the deason physically dead and scraping top 4 on the last day has won us nothing, we need to pace ourselves and clearly it seems to be working. Well maybe not in Europe.

I maintain that results are covering up some of the performances, and I don't think what I'm seeing from this current Liverpool is very sustainable for a title run with Pep's magical City. You lot frightened me a lot more last season. Remember Scouse when United were 2nd or joint top a few seasons ago and you said despite the position, you see nothing that scares you? I sorta feel like that with this Liverpool. Though irrelevant, as we're nowhere near you. However, that said, they can only improve I suppose. Just saying it's not a ridiculous thing to say "wait til we get back to last seasons form" as you were much better, just luckier this season.

I'm not even trying to have a dig or a reaction or anything, but how you take it is your choice, it's just my honest opinion. When you're watching something and thinking "How are we/they doing this?" or "For **** sake, they've jammed a result there" - then it's usually a little too good to be true in the long-run.

I know you can say Sir Alex's teams often won titles with similar form, but it's a different ball game now. Tactics have come on planets, the smaller teams are more negative/stubborn, there are 5-6 other teams now which are considered *big* games as opposed to the 3, and of course, there was no Guardiola. Just think there's a lot more banana slips in this Liverpool team than City over the course of the next 6 months, but we'll see.

Pep’s all conquering, best team in the history of football City, that are blitzing everyone in mid-season form yet still can’t shake clear of L’pool.

Pep who went against all his principles to completely change his tactics/ style for the first time in his career to deal with L’pool straight up.

Pep who talks about how scared he is of Klopps L’pool every chance he gets.

That Pep and his side?
 
The same Pep side that won games countless times in the last min last season. We were great in Europe last season but meh for the majority of the league campaign.
 
Talking City, tough looking week for them with aways at Watford and Chelsea.

Maybe it just tightens right back as tight as it can come Sat’day tea-time.

*Edit*

Now looks like Augero/ Zinchenko haven’t travelled to Watford to add to no De Bruyne and Mendy.

Every little helps and all that.

After battering their opponents for the previous 89 of those mins, more times than not. You can’t say Liverpool haven’t stolen “underserved” points this season.

Like I said though, they can definitely improve and get back to last seasons levels.

Wooo. Hang on a minute. Where? When?

If we’d been outplayed in games I’d be with you and concerned. But outside of Huddersfield deserving a point, and Everton Sunday, we’ve not been by anyone the league. You could say City with the missed penalty we escaped with one. But over the course of the game neither side deserved to lose. We had the better of the game at Chelsea. Does Sturridge’s late goal make us ‘lucky?’

Utd against Bayern the European Cup final your greatest ever season. Liverpool against Arsenal the Cup Final 2001. Thats what I consider ‘lucky/ teams riding their luck/ stealing undeserved victory’s’ et al. When a team is completley out played. Scoring late in games that haven’t been that is just football and what top sides do.

We might not be in mid-season form we’ve comfortably controlled most games this year and worn teams down.
 
More conservative tactics have netted more points, you also seemed to have lost the ability to crush the top teams like you used to. Not exactly something I'd celebrate. This is the team that last year terrified all the European giants and now you're in Europa League.
