And if it wasn’t for an offside in the build up, he may well have scored the winner

Leeds look terrible.

If Everton get their shit together then they are in big trouble.

Late to the party but said for a while that Rodgers’ treatment of Iheanacho was odd given Daka and Vardy’s struggles. Don’t think it’s a coincidence thy go off and score four at a vastly improving Villa side after making the change. He can be a bit careless but he makes things happen, think he’s one of the most underrated players in the Prem

Only just learned that Plymouth's goalkeeper did his ACL at the weekend and is now out for ages.

Was listening to an EFL review update on a podcast this morning and they said if you had to pick a player who was the most important to any team in the EFL it would be the Plymouth goalkeeper. also said he is destined for PL (when ACL is sorted)

Commentator on MOTD tonight for the Fulham Forest game pre match.

Fulham have been struggling in front of goal lately, no goals in the past 3 games and no wins during this run. Really!

Winston Biscuit Pickford WTF! :lol:


What was he thinking.
How did Everton beat Arsenal? They look like we might give them a game....even playing Rahman and Virginia in goal....I'd even throw Drenthe and Drinkwater in midfield. :D :D

On another note Carragher is embarrassing....I don't want to hear biased commentary.

Carragher has been hugely critical of Liverpool this season. Massively. They were also a hundred times better than Everton last night, so it shouldn't be a surprise that Carragher was complimentary, this time.

That game nearly got away from the referee last night. Booking Robertson for laughing at Pickford was a little silly, Everton lost their heads. No idea what the keeper was doing for the first goal, but Liverpool had five on two, so he was on a hiding to nothing.

However, booking Robertson for running away with the ball after the whistle had gone and then deliberately kicking it away from Pickford was entirely the correct decision :roll:

I've been a supporter of Pickford, particularly for England, but he's made me look a little silly with that performance

Hiding to nothing or not running away from the goal and leaving Salah what was effectively a tap in was more than a little odd. Has he got a relegation release clause in his contract?

Angle from behind the goal clearest I think, Pickford faced a pretty shitty choice and I think just tried to narrow the space to goal, but got caught between the two attackers, the way it played out looked silly. If he'd stayed on his line he'd have been vilified too.

I think Pickford just thought it was going to Gakpo so decided to close that angle down as quickly as he could, but totally misjudged where the ball was actually going

He has to try and get to the ball before Salah or at least cut that angle down. Just couldn't see how he misjudged the flight of the ball that badly.

I'm the opposite with Pickford for that dreadful kamikaze stuff on Van Dijk that put him out of the game for a long time.
Amazingly Michael Oliver didn't even book him at the time but having seen it again he would surely have sent him off.

There was a lot of bravado from Everton players and fans after last week's win against Arsenal but last night they just rolled over and were a shambles.
If they are going to survive they will have to go all "dogs of war " again otherwise their sparkly new ground might house Championship football for some time.
