You need to learn how to quote , but I'm guessing you're replying to me as I replied to you.

 

I started this thread, so when you say some of the stuff was embarrassing, I was the main one talking bringing it up. There's nothing wrong with questioning if a player in his 30's might be declining, especially when he's playing as badly as Evans was a year ago. I'll be delighted if he can prove us wrong and we get a little more of him at the top of his game, but to call it embarrassing that people might think at his age he might not get back to his level, well that's embarrassing.

So you think Evans is not at the level he was a few years ago, personally age has nothing to do with it as with Vards players get better with age. Percy seems to think that he is one of the best by a country mile, not many seem to disagree.

This was not aimed at you personally but many thought he was on the decline and finished, the guy is class and as I said still one the best today, just look at the Percy tweet. For 3.5 million he was an absolute steel.

Quite embarrassing reading some of the posts on page 1 of this thread, how some can question him is beyond me. He is the glue that holds our defence together and one of the best central defenders in the Premier league. Let's hope that this foot injury doesn't continue to effect him, we are fooked if it does.

Milner has to go there, ridiculous decision 

Especially when you look at what Youri got booked for, refereeing becoming a joke.

We have an almighty inferiority complex both on the pitch and in the stands IMO.

 

You just don't hear it from fans of others clubs.  Clubs who we now dwarf in terms of wage bill.

 

We need to grow a backbone.

 

 

Agree, although sometimes you have to go through a bit of pain to get that backbone, hopefully recruit well and go again next season.

End of the day injuries cost us, even on the last day we lose a defender, had the same 14 players playing the last 10 or so games, ran out of steam, some of them not even fit.

Our first 14/15 players are  as good as any, after that our squad lacks depth, need to add in the summer and  again.

Makes the cup win even more a fantastic achievement COYF.

Just arrived,  envelope a bit tatty but programme thankfully okay.

Only decent player for us tonight, admittedly not very difficult. 

Not hard but Perez was decent, did more in his cameo than Maddison.

If the players come on after and apologise they can do one. 

Mendy on shutting up shop.

Hope I'm wrong but I don't think we will see the real Riccy again, looks so far off his game. Just hope a full pre season he gets his full fitness back.

We look leggy and broken  really sad to see, as sorry as it is cannot see us winning again this season, the teams to play will pick us off with ease.p

Should be like in Rugby (not sure if it still is) where if you don't play in the English league, you can't get picked for the national team.

Spot on was just thinking the same thing.

Played Perez,  excellent today.

Well he played there against Wood at CB in the home game and we won 4-1

Thats the night he got injured as well

Fofana back training on Monday and looks like Dennis will start training on 8th March, probably a couple weeks after that before match selection. 

Feel Madders will be around this time too.

Just got to try and get a few results until we get everyone back.

Normally there is always 1 player who stands out when we have a performance like that, today I couldn't pick out 1 player who played well.

Just hope it is a one off, need to ensure that madders is right before we play him again. Played him at Everton last year which put him out for the season and started the slump.

Hopefully we will learn from last season and have a reaction and kick on.

Well that  didn't  take long  !!!!!!!

Write him off at your peril, we have been here before and he always comes good, still has a massive impact on how we play and helps create space for others because teams are so scared of him.

Great understanding  with Barnes as well they link up so well.

Fair play to the kid thought he might struggle today but he was outstanding what full backs we have at the club MOTM for me.

Nerd's corner - how does a phone autocorrect to 'Evan's'?

The amount of times I have posted on here and when I have looked at the post  found it has changed words,  I'm sure it changes words to wind me up

Definite signs he is getting back, one run by the touchline was like Ricky at his peak. Really good to see  a few more games get confidence in his knee and he will be up to full speed

Get Timmy back and it will soften the blow of JJ, got to say that Brendan has managed the squad brilliantly.

Klopp needs to take a few lessons on how to conduct an interview from Madders. Very intelligent in how he sees and reads the game and speaks so well, great stuff

Followed by a pre recorded Liverpool Man City trailer at 1 min 14 seconds

In Fairness thats 51 seconds to long

Thought he had a good game, excellent tackle  on adama at the end. Think he has adapted his game as before he was a walking red card. Think he should get a bit of credit, not a starter but definitely a decent squad player. Again with some of our players the stick he gets on here is incredible.

Whitlow's goal was an absolute stonker IIRC. 25-yard arrow into the top corner. Didn't it get stuck in the stanchion? Or am I mis-remembering?

Yep think it did, cannot really believe we haven't beat these ar home since then!!!!
