We could really do with Liverpool winning this.

Great penalty under pressure.

 

Liverpool though . WTF was Lovren doing putting his hands in to Calvert-Lewin's back?!

right - neville going off on how horrible the decision was.  I agree it was soft but Lovren opens up the door for the call once he puts his hands on C-L's back.  it's not THAT horrible of a decision.  I've seen worse.  Just don't put your hands on the dude's back and you don't have to worry about it.

Is Rooney the Everton captain? I don't think they've mentioned it today. 

[Super_horns]

Out of the blue that one! 

 

Silly from Lovern - always risky with the way players go down these days.

[Vacamion]

 

“Second penalty since the war”.

 

My missus asked “Which war?”

 

[Stevosevic]

Rooney now has more goals than Vardy.....

[sm1]

With all the possession that Liverpool have had, they've had next to no clear goal scoring chances. Even Salah's goal was individual brillance.

Give him a few windows they’ll be stifling games and stealing undeserved points to just about hover in mid table like the best of them.

Did someone mention stealing undeserved points? 

[surrifox]

Klopp's ridiculous team  selection today  looks like costing his side 2 points. No way should they ship points to this crap 

[Guest Kopfkino]

Almost sad seeing Everton fans so happy with their anti-football point

 

Wtf was Lovren doing

[foxfanazer]

Absolute steal. Might have got the result but what dire football they play. Klopp punished for not playing his best 4 players together. Also Jordan Henderson is so poor

[theessexfox]

Lovren never ever fails to disappoint, imagine trying to win trophies with that clown at centre half.

[surrifox]

Unbelievably Shiterton are 10th 

[Kendal Fox]

Of course I'm glad we never got Fat Sam, but at the same time, I find it highly insulting that that clown, with his soul destroyingly awful style of football, made a point of saying to the press that he'd "no interest" in our vacancy.

 

Well Everton, I hope you're happy with the guy. One of the most overrated top-flight managers of the last 20 years. And that's saying something.

[surrifox]

Allardyce will always pick up work for clubs who regard Prem survival as the best they can hope for - the palaces, West Broms and West Hams of the league . 

Everton have higher (albeit deluded) aspirations - which means playing decent and ambitious football and y' know entertaining the people who pay to watch . Good luck with that .

Good result for us. Keeps Southampton 5 points behind us and Arsenal only 6 points ahead. A win on Wednesday makes that 8 points ahead of the Saints - Claude's got to be up for that!

Good result for us. Keeps Everton 4 points behind us and Liverpool only 7 points ahead.

New managers in the league since the start of the season: Hodgson, Puel, Allardyce and Pardew. I imagine Pulis will also end up at somewhere like Swansea soon too. We really did get the pick of the bunch.

Oh absolutely we did. And I'm sure the owners knew that Puel, despite the criticism he got for taking Saints - with worse players than us - to 8th and a tight cup final, was still a more exciting prospect than any of those.

[Koke]

You have to feel sorry for players like Martial and Rashford. They are practically playing right back and left back.

Easy statement to make as we say very little about who we are linked with, thankfully we had "no interest" in him. If we did make enquires he might have been top of the list what he wasn't told was it was page 71 of the list just above Peter Taylor and David Pleat

[Mrfox452]

Surely Jesus will get  ban for that?

[foxfanazer]

Thought it was a yellow card offence to crowd the ref nowadays. 5 united players trying to influence Oliver to book Kompany there. Perfectly good challenge as well imo

[fazzyfox]

Herrera has fast become a modern day Dennis Wise figure a dirty, sly, cheat, how he gets through games without two yellows is a miracle. 

[StanSP]

Klopp ****ed himself over today. Dropped Coutinho and Firmino and took Salah off midway through 2nd half. Ridiculous. If he didn't want Salah to be tired, he didn't need to play him in midweek!

Imagine the headlines, "Jesus banned from appearing at Christmas"
