MC11 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 They were there for the taking today a really poor side so I'm disappointed taking just one point. Matt and Elston Gunnn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elston Gunnn Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Disappointed Gibson didn't play final 15-20 minutes, since we looked for long passes frequently. Sub him in for Browning, shift McCarthy to RB. Edited October 4, 2015 by Elston Gunnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyblue23 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 If we are moaning about Can not being sent off then we should thank ourselves lucky Barkley was still on. Letter of the law he should have got a yellow for kicking the ball away. Can was trying to score with an overhead kick. How often do you see yellow cards given for that? .....not very often. Lucas on the other hand is a lucky fucker. He definitely should have walked, Agree with the overhead kick assessment, but he had a few other questionable challenges as well. Barkley was a bit unlucky to get that yellow in the first place, as Can doing what most professionals do and giving up the ball when Barkley tried to grab it from would have ended the confrontation then and there. Barkley didn't do much wrong there in my mind; you see players grabbing for the ball to speed up play multiple times a game. chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 250 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Gave away a soft goal, though Barkley got a small push in the back to put him under the ball !their goalkeeper made two great saves first half, we probably should have won this.Liverpool fans were laughing when the teams were announced, stating our two young fullbacks and new boy beside Jags would never keep them out, to be honest they did great, though have to admit Coleman, Baines and Stones would certainly add a touch of class and more goal threat. Thought Lukaku did well and Barkley is getting there now.McCarthy for me was the weak link today. We can play better than that and will and should finish above the big spending red shite.

Sibdane Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Naismith was really disappointing. He may be the most inconsistent player in the squad. I really thought he'd get a scrappy goal in this one. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC11 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Naismith was fine. He seemed to be very deep today though. What you get from him is a disciplined performance and I'm grateful we have him. Peter H 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn balor Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Against the worst shite team in twenty years I think we bottled it. Roberto needs to look at himself with not making the subs to change the game. We should have gone 4-3-3. Gibson needed to come on and get on the ball. Him with McCarthy and Barry alongside. Howard was to blame for their goal. Anything in our box is the keepers chicagoblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nogs Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 So drawing at Goodison is enough for Rodgers to get the can... Say what you like about about Kenwright, I'd rather have a chairman who backs the manager to the hilt than foriegn owners who pull the plug 8 games in any day.

Anyone can make a mistake but learn from it, that's all that is expected. On the other hand, the lad clearly can't defend. Why have him defending the six yard line on corners? I don't think it's fair to criticise Barkley too much, he shouldn't be in there, if you watch him anywhere on the pitch he struggles to read opposition runs in defensive phases, the last place i'd have him marking corners is the centre forward on the six yard line!

I agree, but he's been given that job and he's made the same mistake in the very next game. Mistakes are a given but not learning from them is annoying.

Kant Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Another departure of a big rival after a big game. It happened with Moyes, it happens now with Rodgers... All things said, I think both are more about the attitude of the team instead of the result of the game. Only one team wanted it the 2nd half.

Elston Gunnn Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Does anyone not get nervous when any opposing team has a corner against us? I'm irritated at both Howard and Barkley, but surprised we didn't concede 1-2 more from corners. It's an ongoing problem, troubling we continue to play softly on opposing corners.

Sibdane Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Naismith was fine. He seemed to be very deep today though. What you get from him is a disciplined performance and I'm grateful we have him.Never said I wasn't grateful to have him, but today he didn't really offer much going forward. Being a pest to the opposition is a job he performs well though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibdane Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Letting his man go is a mistake whether we're punished for it or not. He has a defensive responsibility and he has to do it.Exactly. The nudge was one that any player who has played the game before should expect when defending a corner. It happens every time. Add to that Barkley is a pretty big guy, and I don't think there's an excuse for not getting the header. Defense is not his strong point, obviously, but a physical player like Ross should handle that with no problem... IMO. chicagoblue, Kant and Romey 1878 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Don't see why Barkley is getting so much stick , Naismith misjudged the flight of the ball and went for a Toby, leaving Barkley exposed. Howard should be challenging too. Simple nudge does a lot, other way round and that ref would blow. Have to blame RM more than anyone though, as already said Ross should not be the main player in the six yard box for a corner. With such small margins refs need to do better than yesterday, 2 points dropped in the name of entertainment. If the FA cared less about money and more about sport we'd be up there. Fan base and cheating is rewarded by them. London Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoblue Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 If they were to blow down that kind of nudge every time, you'd never see a corner played out. Happens all game every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
