I've not watched the toffees in ages. But my wife has an amazon prime free trial so I watched the derby last night. And where better to vent than a cycling forum where no one gives a shit about the blues.
It was thoroughly depressing because as good as Liverpool were in attack, a half decent mid table defence (Wolves, Palace) would have limited them to 2 goals and a slightly more clinical attack could have scored 4. Our defence are so inept even long balls over the top caused us problems. At one point Mane is played through on goal and the player marking him in central defence is Bernard, fucking Bernard in central defence. He tries hopelessly to play him offside but it's clearly not in the repertoire of the tricky Brazilian midget. For the 5th goal we clear a corner and then, before actually gaining possession of the ball, Richarlison, Iwobi and Kean all belt it up the pitch leaving gaps all over the shop.
The whole team looks like a bunch of relatively decent players operating at about 70% in terms of commitment/application. It's like watching that Sunderland side of a few years back which was all ex-united players with alcohol/gambling problems and Steven Fletcher. We couldn't even be bothered to foul them properly. We've ditched/benched all the players who actually get the club, Baines, Coleman, Jagielka etc. and what any manager can do with a load of players that don't know what they're doing and aren't really arsed about it is anyone's guess. Fuck's sake. Actually Mason Holgate was half decent, so well done him 6/10. Alexander-Arnold and Robertson did a good job of being snide fuckers.
