GWT: PL Matchweek (mostly) 14

[Jersey Fresh]

What a lazy mistake by Coleman though. Especially with a Salah nearby

He was caught in two minds, not really a lazy play.

Hey, at least I don't support Everton.

 

[Savant]

Remember when we were talking about Jota maybe making Firmino second choice? It happened a while ago.

Firmino has been very good this season himself.

 

[Rob]

What a display of skill from Liverpool here

 

[Burner Account]

He has. No question who’s first choice now though.

 

[Savant]

Yeah. Both should play and Mane should sit

big "Duncan Ferguson, interim manager" vibes

 

[BMann]

Dennis is such a diver, holy crap

Of course all the players in blue never roll around pretending to be injured. Or timewasting as with Rudiger. Embarrassing really. Big club indeed thanks to one shady billionaire.

Firmino is/has been amazing too. No point to drag Firmino into that discussion.
As pointed out the weakest of them all this season is Mane.

Even with Calvert-Lewin, is there anything *really* to get excited about with Everton? A bunch of "nice" players, and Richarlison is good on his day, but I was always a bit mystified at this "Everton on the top 4 march" type talk.

Rafa's been only trending down, too.

 

[Chimaera]

I think they had a decent roster, but are a bit stagnant. Doesn’t help that some might want to go

Haters gonna hate.

I feel like Mane's goal return has been fine. He's also been really good at taking on defenders from a standstill on the left edge of the area.

I think it's reasonable to include Firmino in the discussion on who starts in the middle.

Feels like every year they make one prudent buy (Gray) that makes people feel they're on the up. Then they go through a spell where they look like relegation candidates.

Fat Sam probably has a bag packed already.

Mane has been putting up numbers but I honestly don’t think his overall play has been great this year. Diogo’s play style, especially where he wants to be on the pitch is a lot closer to Mane that it is to Firmino. Simply think Diogo offers more. Probably not the popular opinion but I’m rolling with Diogo-Firmino-Salah. Much better pressing with that lineup too.

0 completed passes to his midfield partner.

 

[Live in the Now]

All I can say about the game are two things.

1. I do hold a grudge against Rafa for taking that job and I can't get over it. I'm really glad they lost.

2. Amazing that people still exist who think Henderson can't play football. Don't know what else he'd have to do. Masterclass of midfield IMO. The game was him and Salah punishing Everton over and over again for making mistakes.

 

[Chimaera]

Rafa never changes. Complaining about money Liverpool spent in the post conference

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Don't think Brentford will be easy for Spurs, however a win here has them two points out of top four with a game against Burnley in hand.

My opinion of Henderson kind of hit rock bottom four years ago. England was facing Lithuania, and I would have ignored the game if it wasn't Harry Winks' England debut. Winks was a step above everybody else on the pitch while Henderson was an absolute disaster. Funny how things have changed since.

Everton have spent more which is the funny thing.

 

[Chimaera]

they really didn't spend this past summer. He also arguably, with no DCL, no Mina, and then midfielders out for whatever, has a point of contention for not having enough depth

That’s Evertons own fault though. They have no depth because their signings have been bad. Not because they aren’t spending.



Everton have had more expenditures and more net spending (since 16/17; Klopp’s first full season) They just don’t have a lot to show for it.

For 45 minutes.

What’s the point of being a fan if not blind optimism.

I don't disagree with the numbers.

But while it might be Everton's fault, that's not Rafa's fault.

You, more so than most others (Liverpool supporters in general), should know that Rafa always moans about money. Although, it does seem that with some of his clubs, he ends up getting stiffed with dumpster diving.
