Game's gone almost as I expected to be honest, except for Matip's injury giving Lovren the chance to do his David Luiz impression.

Christ that was ****e.

Only reason Everton got out of their half towards the end was cause Lovren is such a bellend. Other than that they may as well played with 11 goalkeepers.
 
Eh, didn't really expect much after so long out of competitive football. First half was mostly good. Second half just got worse and worse as we made more changes.

5 more draws will do I suppose?

Notice no one has mentioned what a great challenge it was from Gomez to deflect that shot onto the post - brilliant challenge

Went the way I expected really, the Derby has become such a non event. Comes to something that not having your home crowd behind you is a benefit.

**** them though, if there made up with a draw at home, what can you do.

Positives for us, keita looked bright, always looking to go forward. Please stay fit.

I really liked mini today, again it didnt quite come off, but you can see its there. The inter play, the work ethic and the touch. Only issue is he's playing for firminos place, not the option we need for the left or right.

Oh and lovren didn't give a penalty away, slip and let the score, get sent off or otherwise cause us to lose the game. Very good performance from him. Even though he tried his best to **** it up.

3 more draws in a row will do since Man City would be 2nd
 
Oh well, said since lockdown hit that we only need one more win; against Man City. We'll ****ing smash'em :emoticon-0165-muscl
 
Masterclass from Ancelotti that. Carra was right - we had most possession because they let us have the ball: we did **** all with it. Don't think Pickford made a save apart from that late free kick. And Matip going off destroyed us - Lovren just isn't up to it against top drawer strikers, and that's what Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison are.

We need cover at left back, and I don't mean Milner. You play Gomez at CB next to Virgil if Matip goes off - or even Fab.

Moral victory for the ****e, that.

Gomez is a very good CB and should never play right back. Playing left back is never going to work after replacing Milner. We have always needed back up there.

Minamino is the same as Firmino and cant play out wide. He hasn't got a chance to impress out there.
 
I did like Taki’s performance today - granted it wasn’t explosive or impactful as Salah but you can definitely the clever link up and interchange. Agree with everyone, perfect rotation option for bobby.

speaking on bobby - I really really wish he could improve his shooting. He had once chance on his left foot but he’s gotta be doing better.
