Everton setting out their game plan early! Waste as much time as possible as often as possible!


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

they’re in a desperate situation. They’ll have to waste time, defend, fight, kick, hack and anything else to get a result here

[Aldo]

What do you want them to do? Liverpool are a fabulous team and Everton are struggling to avoid relegation. They're not going to just let Liverpool play and admire them. Any way cmon the toffees!!!

£500 million worth of talent (less) players so your probably right nit a lot.

I just want to see Pickfords face when he concedes

Everton should’ve had a penalty there. Clear push in my view

Liverpool’s high line is starting to cause them problems on the counter, Spurs would enjoy that in two weeks.

There's more than 1 way to get a result, yes it's not nice to watch but they'll hardly beat them playing football.

Liverpool will win this but Everton were cheated.

That's how I saw it too. If it had happened at the other end, I feel the ref would've given it.
Having said that, it was just matter of time before Liverpool scored, unfortunately.

[Keyser Sauzee]

Liked the look of Gordon in the games against Man U earlier this season but the dive in the first half has put me off him. If youngsters have the balls to dive when they break into the first then I can’t imagine how much of it goes on in youth games. Horrible side of the game that’s just becoming accepted.

[cabbageandribs1875]

leeds simply must win tomorrow night at Palace with their next three fixtures coming up against...

H- Man city
A- Arsenal
H- Chelsea


i really don't think they will even get a point from those three games

As a Blue, I would agree. They need a rebuild, on and off the pitch . They have been run really badly

I see a lot of people saying it's sad online etc. No it's not they deserve to go down as not been good enough.

The conference is same standard as league 2 now anyway so they should increase promotion to 3 teams.

Sky money only goes down to league 2 which is why it will never happen as teams won't vote for it.

Strange one

The fans invaded the pitch with 15 minutes to go 1-2 down at home to Salford to start a sit down protest against the owner

The fans were told the game had been abandoned and the pitch was eventually cleared

Two hours later the remainder of the game was played out behind closed doors the score remained at 1-2

Christian Doidge’s old club Forest Green were promoted to League One

[HH81]

OK

Yes it is OK. They have only gone down. The world won't end.

[HH81]

Yes I believe so but they have been rubbish for years.

League 2 & 1 clubs play stupid wages so it's time some clubs went down, restructure and then come back when they are good enough.

Of course it won’t, but there is a lot of sentiment in football so perfectly understandable to see the comments regarding their demise.

I didn't say I was pleased but they deserved it. I don't really care either to be fair.

You see it all the time from clubs losing their football league status after xxx amount of years. Usually so unfair etc. They over spend and usually deserve to go down was the point I'm making.

Imagine if Bradford and Bolton went down next year, the same people will be saying it's so unfair, ex premiership teams falling so far etc. Well win more games, spend wiser and it won't happen.

And Bobby Johnstone. A good friend is an Oldham fan, he said his grandad regarded him as the greatest player he ever saw play for them, even though it was towards the tail end of his career. He also said he could only imagine how good he was in his prime.

Bobby J was a genius for Hibs and probably for Oldham as well. Similar to Best at Hibs he added thousands to their home attendances.

Yeah mad, I always remember hearing about them as a kid, never one of the big huge teams in my time but I remember when I was like 6 they got to the league cup final with Joe Royle in charge of them. They got promoted to the old English top tier and survived the next season I was readiing saying they were one of the founding teams of what they now call the Premier League. Sure they got to an FA cup final not long after that but until all this I just thought they were hanging around in League one or something.

Remember my Grandad saying we sold one of the famous 5 to them, Johnstone I think. We signed Chris Killen from them too, he was ****ing brilliant for us, **** knows how he could'nt find the net at Celtic really. Career nosedived and he ended up in China.

When I was reading the thing I was more shocked it was Salford they were playing. I thought they were already in League one now.

He went back to them after he left us the second time.

An Oldham fan wrote a very good biography of Bobby who of course was a wonderful player.

Massive games this weekend in the EPL relegation battle with Burnley away to Watford on Saturday followed by Everton v Chelsea on the Sunday. If Burnley get anything from this game then it heaps even more pressure on Lampard and co to get a result.

Even with a game in hand goal difference isn’t in their favour either!

No, was the young reserve keeper Radu.

It was a great noise at 2-0. I’ve never been to Anfield for a game, just looked round the stadium tour, but it seems to have the best noise of the top English clubs.

[MWHIBBIES]

I take a bit of an interest in keepers, and Handanovics got the 2nd best save percentage in série a, only behind Maignan, who was a force of nature with Lille in their title win and has taken that across to Milan.

He’s in my top ten anyway.

Most inter fans I see online think he is washed up and needs replacing. Been a brilliant keeper for many years, but not so much now. As I say, onana coming in the summer to replace him it seems.

Over rated imo, Crystal Palace are better.

I wasnt classing them as a ‘top club’, ie-the big stadium clubs. Palace have embraced the Ultra thing which I think is great. But theres nothing like a huge stadium making a huge noise though. I’ve only been in that environment a few times.

[bigwheel]

There’s something quite different by and large about English football and Scottish . They don’t care as much as we do . If they get beat 1 nil, most teams get a polite applause as they leave the park . There isn’t the intensity of feelings that a normal Scottish game has ..there are a few exceptions , but not many ..it’s nowhere near as important to them as it is to many Scottish fans

Celtic Park would be rocking right now, night and day to this lot.

[BeansOnToast]

Caught the end of the youth cup final between rangers and hearts there. I think I caught sight of Rod Petrie presenting the trophy to rangers. He’s looking very thin compared to how he was and bearded (if that was him). I know he had to step down for a bit a couple of years ago but I hope he’s well now.

The Man City stadium was pish last night.

Their first ever Champions League semi (I think anyway?) and a victory over Real Madrid in one of the best games of football you’re likely to see and there was folk standing politely applauding when the goals went in.

With Liverpool I’m not sure if it’s because they’ve been spoiled in recent years but the atmosphere really wasn’t all that exciting tonight (at least through the tv anyway) considering what’s at stake.

I went to Spurs V Man City at Wembley a few years ago when Spurs were playing there. It was brutal. Don’t think anybody within earshot of me was actually a fan of either team (including me so I’m aware I’m part of the problem :greengrin)

So they were. I had a nagging doubt in the back of my head but couldn’t for the life of me think of them getting this far before!

The lack of many fans must have made it extremely forgettable.

Doesnt change the point you were making, which was spot on. Citys crowds just seem to watch, not contribute.

I remember when they were in the 2nd and even 3rd tier in the 90s, they played at St James Park, I was in the Gallowgate and they were absolutely fantastic, took a huge noisy away support and were well respected for their loyalty in hard times. Strange how things change.

[JamesHFC]

Liverpool are a great example in recent years of sticking to a manager and his style of play, getting rid of the deadwood and replacing them with players who fit into the system. Klopp is phenomenal, they are now reaping the rewards of going a few years without success after buying into his plan.

The main thing is though there was always signs of progress, that’s the big difference

[Mon Dieu4]

I've been in the Kop for a Liverpool V Chelsea game, in the era of Gerrard, Owen, Zola etc and the place was deed, may well get a decent atmosphere in European games but I came away thinking I've been in better atmospheres in lower league games in Scotland

Edit, Gerrard wasn't playing, was 16/10/1999 and Liverpool won 1-0

[JamesHFC]

Seem to get better every season, last season obviously tainted by the injuries suffered but they still finished 3rd. Konate, Tsimikas and Diaz have been three very good signings who slot right in and offer depth they were lacking. Spoilt with the choices of Jota and Firmino too.

I’m not sure what’s going to happen with Salah’s contract though.

I'd bet money that Salah will sign a new contract with Liverpool.

[JamesHFC]

I'd bet money that Salah will sign a new contract with Liverpool.

Probably, he’s at one of the best clubs in the world right now so can’t see any reason to leave other than for more money.

If Liverpool pay him what he wants, will that probably lead to Mane requesting more money? I’ve always felt that PSG may go for one of them if Mbappe moves on.

[HH81]

James has pretty much predicted Liverpool not to win any tropies this season.

This leads me to think they might win 4 as a result.

Still chances going into May.

I have been to European games at Elland Road, Liverpool, old Trafford and Man City.

Both Manchester clubs are the poorest for noise by a long long way.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Massive shout out to RB Leipzig for tonight. Get intae them from the first whistle and let's see the tie put to bed. 4-0 would be nice.

unfortunatley i think the rangers will get a result in germany dont be surprised if they get their usual penalty but i think they are suited more to european style football than spl. dont think leipzig are as good as dortmund and we know what happened there. would be nice to think they would be found out tonight but iv just got a feeling it will be the opposite.

You should turn over to the Feyenoord Marseille game. The whole stadium is literally covered in smoke.

Nice save Rocky 1 on 1 with his legs, Hibs get a mention. Feyenoord bossing the first 10 mins.

10 mins played and no Leipzig goal


hugely disappointing

[Ray Donovan]

Hope they go out. Europa League final is 18th May. I dont want them distracted in the lead up to the Scottish cup final.

[hibsbollah]

Feyenoord 1 OM 0. Dessers.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

RBL don’t look anything special.

Hope to god I’m proved wrong!
