Match Day Thread Vs Everton (H)

Not been in while you been on in ages
Where you stand on Jose ?
The hordes have all turned on him where I work bar one who holds same opinion as me - think it would take a monumental shift to bring you back into title race (not impossible but improbable) but top four certainly still on only other CL route is to win it which is not impossible as long as still in it.
The one keeps saying Woodward is the issue
I really don’t know enough.
I am very good friends with a lady who has worked in Carrington a long time and she says he is toxic which is oddly a word I heard used on a talk show other day to describe him. Apparently sir Alex used to care about everyone in club top to bottom, get loads of tales about him but Jose has made the club hierarchical and does not mix with the commoners. First team separated from others that sort of thing.
Sad if true

 

Not seen any of your game yet, were you really that much under the cosh?

 

At least 2 top top saves.

 

Made a #worldclass save to keep Everton from going ahead and kept everyone focused on the game with his perfect mentality, effectively captained us to the win

Meanwhile Gomes fluffed his lines and Everton #bottledit in injury time trying to timewaste to a draw and got punished

 

Alisson just picked up his NINTH clean cheet in 14 games but morons will still rate him a 6 because he only had a couple of saves to make

Meanwhile De Gea is still throwing every 3rd shot on target into his net but the media only talk about the ones he keeps out

 

Solidest 6 ever.

 

De Gea hasn't conceded 2 goals in a PL game since yesterday.

Alisson hasn't conceded 2 goals in a PL game.

 

I am definitely losing patience with Jose, the players are not much better either.
I can blame Jose for the tactics and team formation but refuse to believe he makes the players hit **** passes and shots or tells the defenders to lose their men and fall over.
We need a leader (or preferably a few) on the pitch, I honestly couldn't name one player right now who can/does drive the team. Rashford has the desire but no authority or experience, the rest just walk around like zombies when things are going wrong or wave their arms and shake their heads at others.
Do we have players/a squad that can do much better than we are, damn right. Can I see it changing, unfortunately no.
The thing is I have no idea what the answer is, yes I could blame Jose but I hear him talk of players having no heart or being frightened and I agree with him. We need a player with some balls to grab the others and shake **** out of them, at the moment we have "big personalities" like Pogba with his two left feet and stylish hair cuts or sulky Sanchez and Martial.

 

You've seen what a top man can do with arsenals bunch.

A player here and there, a touch of desire.... it can all turn around.

Your manager is crushing their heart. You should sack him immediately and go appoint a real manager

 

Thought Fabinho was good today.

Great way to win it.

 

^^^^ #rattled

 

Pickford gets 0

 

Gotta say tha we were there for the taking but Everton were so negative second half. So weird as they were the better team second first half.

 

Not at all - I don't understand why anyone would get that impression.
Everton played well but we had more possession and the better chances imo (though the finishing was iffy again).
It was a cruel way for the BS to lose a game, but it wasn't a travesty by any means.

 

I was only going off Astro giving Alisson MOTM

 

Can’t have been a cup final, Klopp doesn’t win em

Shows what it means to him I guess and the #bentasfuckref helped out.

 

I realise that. I was just countering it, because neither team was "under the cosh".
Alisson made the more obvious saves, but only because we didn't make Pickford work hard enough when we had the opportunities.

 

Worse Liverpool performance I have seen against us and yet still nick a win.

Mane looked ok, Salah and Firminhio were, well....

Don’t care much for the Brazilian lad in CM, looks average. VVD had it easy against a winger pushed up front, but made it look easy.

We offered nothing in the box and got what we deserved. Need some cash spending in Han on a striker.

 

Mané should have done better with the chances he had, imo.

 

Just watching the highlights on Sky now, so far you have had 2 good chances to Evertons 1 no saves involved yet.
