Very good first half from Everton. Exactly what was required and surely should have been expected?
Richarlison is however making his usual show of himself. I think Liverpool got spoiled in midweek with how easy it was.

Want Pickford to fuck up in the 94th min and Klopp to flop his piece in and around Frank's mouth. More likely is we run riot.
What’s going on? I checked the teams expecting to see the Kellehers and Origis had been rolled out.
I assume the first one will mean at least 5.
Everton currently want it more. Liverpool really look like they've turned up expecting to knock it about like they did against United and it isnt working.Originally Posted by Giggles
Liverpool have a dangerously complacent streak at times.
The ball was in play for about 12 minutes in the first half.
That’s a penalty the other way
Let’s them take a quick goal kick to not allow a check as well
VAR are Burnley fans.
Absolutely not at it today.
Save us Divock.
Yeah, one last hurrah for big Div.
The better full back of the two.
Signing Diaz at the end of January sorted Liverpool’s season right out
Always Divok
Cheers lad.
Oh Divock
Top shithousery from Alisson at the end. Love that man.
22 PL goals for Origi, six against Everton. What a legend.
Salah is so good in that first goal too.
Supposedly Poch out and Conte in at PSG
I need to see him trying to tell Neymar and Messi to defend.
Ł12.6m for Small Pockets.
Who does Conte think he is offering his services whilst under contract? Daniel Levy will be wearing his hair transplant next season.
Brighton desperately need some better forwards [shock horror]. Whilst it's fun watching Danny Welbeck gambling around the pitch in his dotage years, he's really not that great, and Maupay just isn't up to it. They could do a lot worse than getting Big Divock in on a free, save him from a fate worse than death at acey meelan or wherever it is he is supposed to be going.
They also need to sign Alex Scott [the Bristol City one] to build on the Maya Le Tissier Guernsey links.
I’m expecting a 5 game retrospective ban for Mane randomly stubbing two different people in the eye, the small ming
It’s going to be beautiful if Everton go down. Could be a long one if they do as well because the club is an absolute fucking basket case. Hopefully Super Frank finishes the job from here.
Could have been that you just watched the last ever Liverpool v Everton derby. Avoid each other in the cups and a quick liquidation thereafter.
You could see it today. Their gameplan was working well for about 60 mins and they were still seething themselves to pieces.
Or maybe a merger. Red shirts, blue shorts. 'Liverpool United'. Club motto: You'll Never Seethe Alone.
Nothing wrong with Welbeck (…apart from that he can’t play half the games). Could do with an upgrade on Maupay - or Maupay upgrading himself - but it’s more goals from midfield we massively lack. More may come from Mwepu and Mac Allister next season.
Could you just start playing worse against us specifically? It's brutal every year.
Imagine MOTD2 not showing this. Like fucking hell, just eat into the insightful punditry of the MOTDX boys and show the best bit of this weekend's football after the Betis scenes.
If it's not on 2Good2Bad I'm gonna DM some monkey emojis.
Gary Neville et al would implode if Everton even looked like going out of business. Everton. A massive club like Everton? Never even been relegated before. They're a massive, massive club. Howard Kendall. Everton.
'We're not talking about Bury or Oldham. We're talking about *Everton* Football Club.'
Nothing massively right about him either. He's fine, but he could do with being improved upon.
Maupay looked like he was running in treacle at points today. He's just not up to it. Another one in the hinterland between probably too good for the Championship and not good enough for the Premier League.
Agree on the midfield. Bissouma was obviously a miss today [although not many goals there]. Caceido and Mwepu both good until the final third, whereupon they generally about face. Potter is definitely an excellent coach up until that final third. Playing out from the back and knocking it around in tight spaces is second nature, but when it gets into the attacking third you can see the NFL quarterback style progressions going through the ball carrier's head every time and everything just slows down. Maybe it's a consequence of having somewhat limited players who don't trust themselves [or can't be permitted] to play instinctively. Not sure Mac Allsiter is ever going to amount to a whole hill of beans, game passed him by today.
The defence and shitkicking midfield departments are completely fine [Cucurella is top quality], just add a top quality attacker to play alongside Trossard up front [depending on how you set up] and so many of these draws could be wins.
Weren't Everton one of these newly minted clubs a couple of years ago (around the time Ancelotti went there). What happened them?
They spent all their money on Alex Iwobi and a litany of other shite, then appointed Frank Lampard when things were looking bleak.
They still have their wealthy owner, and plans to move into a massive new stadium at some point.
Nice contrast to the season when you turn the clock back to 3 or 4 games in or whatever it was, Arsenal rock bottom and Everton flying high. Think their win at Brighton was the last time they won an away game [in August].
That Trossard pass for their second but also that JWP first is a great mark of how ridiculous he is. I haven't sensed such danger from a set-piece specialist since Juninho Pe.
Everton's squad is a real hodge podge. Richarlison aside, they're rancid up front but they have a couple of good youngsters. Dele Alli's continuing to feel anonymous and I forgot they had van de Beek. Too many players have gone missing for largely the whole season and the fresh blood has done nothing to boost confidence.
Rafa was shit as well. "Hey, Solomon Rondon. He scored in unremarkable numbers in China, he'll do."
What happened to Livramento yesterday? I assumed it was going to be some sort of freak Cissé style horror leg break given the way the ref reacted but they showed it on MotD and it must have been more of an internal thing, which is probably worse in the long run/recovery terms if it's his knee.
Looked a bit like Michael Owen vs Sweden in 2006 (for some reason I feel really old typing that).
I just had to refresh my memory on that. I knew it was innocuous but the way his standing leg goes is bizarre.
Everton want answers over non-award of penalty!
Is that a thing now?
He didn't get the penalty because he [Gordon] is a diving little shit, had been diving all game, and when a tight call came along [STONEWALL] the ref erred on the side of him being a diving little shit. If it gets given VAR doesn't overturn it, but if it doesn't get given tough shit [unless you're Arsenal maybe]. This isn't last season where every microscopic bit of contact is deemed sufficient to generate a foul.
Emerson Royal went through Jota in a much more industrial style earlier in the season and it was him 'playing for it' and so VAR had no interest. C'est la vie.
My only takeaway is that VAR not even looking at it was very odd.
Once the final whistle blows nothing should ever be looked at or questioned.
I don't get teams who lost by 2 or more goals crying over a single incident. If it's a last minute thing that would have changed the result, fine, let it all out, but if you're that good you'd have scored again and/or stopped the other team from scoring two.
Everton Football Club need about 25 years out of the top flight to calm the fuck down.
Don't most things just get quickly looked at and dismissed without the VAR REVIEW fanfare?
Usually but the referee let Liverpool kick off straight away so I’m not sure they even bothered. I don’t think you can kick off if it’s under review
Another big irritance of mine on VAR is that the actual referee in the booth is a fully qualified Premier League official. Yet they will never make on field calls themselves. Even if something is blatant they wont overturn it, they'll just send the other guy to the monitor.
“Stockley Park” is the issue. Employing another ref to oversee a ref is ridiculous. Just send the on field man straight to the monitor like most other countries where it works alright.
My ongoing boring statement that var is shit and has ruined the game.
