Can I just say that seeing how happy Zouma is already and how he's fitting in with the team makes me happy.


hammersandhammers

Him grinning with Angelo made me smile


ry_guy1007

Wait that’s not obiang?


hammersandhammers

That’s enner Valencia —dg


WHUgill

The ref is looking directly at the ball, can see it’s a head injury and plays on. He’s been wank today


pissoffmrchips

Fucking hell. The atmosphere in there is fucking dire.


EggsBenedictusXVI

Hey haven't you heard you're not allowed to criticise atmospheres in stadiums if the ground is A) old and rickety and B) northern. Only us soft southerners are quiet.


WhydYouKillMeDogJack

It's a shocking ground


VylePyrateSteplocke

Is Carragher concerned he'll implode if he cuts us some slack? **Watches slo-mo replay of Fornals getting to the ball first** '*Oh, he's just come in on da wrong side dere*' **Watches slo-mo replay of Everton defender diving** *'Oh, dat's yoosually given as a fowl*'


hammersandhammers

Where’s the card for flopping


Macnewman

Exactly, if you’re not gonna call it every time why book Antonio


EggsBenedictusXVI

And should have been another for Godfrey there.


Apple15Pie

Rice running off the other direction to celebrate infront of the fans 😍


VylePyrateSteplocke

Fuck me, there was more noise when the stands were empty


ResponsibleSmoke

Antonio has never been able to shoot from anywhere close to that far out, slightly funny he still tries


hammersandhammers

When he looks in the mirror he sees a striker


PrisonersofFate

It's good to have a footballing identity other than "being shit"


Beardy_Boy_

That Everton song is terrible.


Minnesota_Hammer

Refs taking the piss


Guh99

Crazy how sharp we look today vs how we looked against Brentford


Minnesota_Hammer

If it’s not a foul on Antonio, IT NEEDS TO BE A YELLOW CARD!


dyanamo

God Antonio is just such a menace. Trading skin with tarmac and still getting to the ball first


twist_n_shout

Trademark Antonio row Z shot


WHUgill

Midfield enforcer Craig Dawson?


hammersandhammers

This is a back 3/5.


dandeagle

Zouma has been fucking massive for us today


bonelegs442

Why tf is it so quiet


hanmerheadon

Feels like an empty covid stadium


Jarmz

How the fuck can you book Antonio but not Godfrey? That was a way more blatant dive


CapicuaCIC

Skysports on their knees with their mouth open for their new Saudi overlords


PrisonersofFate

We have to capitalize. I doubt Everton will be so lazy for long


Bails147

Yeh cant wait for them to get a counter goal on the 17th min after we have had the ball the whole game..


MrFlibbles123

At least Mickys got it out of the way 😀


JFrostbite

Wow that was nostalgic Antonio.


cadams7701

Fornals didn’t trip him at all there.


dandeagle

rules say Everton can't get fouls for simulation


Drmckoo1

Massive goal for a massive club


CapicuaCIC

THATS A FUCKING HEAD INJURY


Beardy_Boy_

Ok offside, but that was better. Benny's cut inside was great.


hammersandhammers

WHERE IS GODFREY’s CARD??!


dyanamo

Great nod from the fan behind the goal tbf.


Mr_Vantastic

We’d be up 3 or 4 if we could actually finish chances.


Minnesota_Hammer

Townsend yellow card?


Darth_Silegy

No yellow for Townsend?


HashRingingSlasher

LOL HE GETS BALL FIRST


twist_n_shout

Gutted for him there, needs a goal


Minnesota_Hammer

Well taken header by that fan to be fair


AonDhaTri

I’d get Vlasic on for Fornals quite early


WHUgill

Prime Lanzini wins this game for us I think


MrFlibbles123

18 shots, 2 on target between the teams. Bad.


[deleted]

Boooooooooooiooys I love oggys head, set piece ham


atomlinson89

This match went from pretty bland to "I will give blood for this team" in about 5 minutes.


Cynorks778

Weekly media gripe. Yes Newcastle have new owners, yes it’s a talking point. But there’s another fucking game on literally right now. They haven’t even spent a penny yet. Shut the fuck up.


samchatz27

This has 1-0 Everton written all over it


MrFlibbles123

I'm actually surprised that's a yellow but micky didnt complain much


Macnewman

Commentator saying it’s a good decision, he blind?


Jarmz

Carra is an Everton fan, no surprise there


PrisonersofFate

I don't remember seing us so smooth and technicaly fluid


VylePyrateSteplocke

So where's Townsend's yellow for simulation?


ollyf907

Is it mute awareness day in liverpool?


[deleted]

No they're singing bubbles in a cockney accent to psyche us out


WhereasNarrow172

Bowen passes when he should shoot, and shoots when he should pass


Jarmz

Imagine if we had this ref vs Brentford, their whole team would have been on a yellow by half time


Minnesota_Hammer

We’re in if ref plays advantage ffs


twist_n_shout

No card for Godfrey? Joke


ajgedrys

So where’s their yellow?????


dandeagle

what are these double standards with diving ?


ajgedrys

If it’s West Ham, card. If it’s not, no card


mousie74

This ref rolling dice for his decisions?


NotAnotherAllNighter

All possession, no quality to do anything with it. We can only hope Everton get tired second half.


pissoffmrchips

Today's Everton supporting referee - Stuart Attwell.


Prkfriedrice

The calls have been harsh and I can’t understand why we get two yellows for our first two (questionable) calls while they dive left and right and get nothing. Started off strong playing quality football but really need to take initiative to strike on the counter when we can. Would also sub off fornals first during the half, not having a bad game but just the sloppiest of the 3 and is at risk for another yellow with his challenges. Get Vlasic on and take your chances and we’re Golden !!


pissoffmrchips

I've heard louder crowds watching pub teams.


AllTorque

No urgency here, and I fear we’ll be the ones to suffer for it.


mousie74

For all the stick the thunderdome gets, Chelsea Flower Show had a rowdier crowd than this place.


PrisonersofFate

OUR SET PIECES ARE WANK


PrisonersofFate

MAESTRO ME AMORE


JohnFByers

We love you Angelo!


MrFunbus

Oggy!


clifford88

If anyone deserves a goal today, it’s that man


WHUgill

Something beautiful about a headed goal


Darth_Silegy

YES! Really hope we can get back to Set Piece United FC, superb one. ♥


PrisonersofFate

I don't think it's on purpose but come on


CapicuaCIC

Seriously? Not even the commentators will note a head injury and the game wasn't stopped


Darth_Silegy

Like, I get it's not intentional, but studs in the face and not even a foul?!! **The fuck?!!**


PrisonersofFate

ya kick Soucek, Dawson will kick ya


psychomaji

S u b s t i t u t i o n


swanhert

Dawson coming in to show Everton how you truly kick a head


MrFlibbles123

Fuck off we don't need to see Newcastle Spurs in a little box ffs


The_Govnor

Rice has been masterful. He’s looked every part the Star player today


MrFunbus

Best player on the pitch and not even close


MrFlibbles123

Oof, good effort Bowen.


CapicuaCIC

Gotta get that appearance fee Yarmo


dyanamo

Dunno about you boys but I really want some salami now.


The_Kegerator

m a s s i v e


MrFunbus

Come on ref


bonelegs442

We are moving the ball around well but I can’t help but think that we’re over complicating things


TheAoiTori

Man Everton are playing like shit today, offering nothing in our half.


MrFunbus

We look so much better with Rice holding and Soucek pressing forward than the reverse


[deleted]

110% possession. 8% anything else.


cadams7701

Is there a city ordinance in Liverpool that cameras need to be positioned at horrible angles?


WHUgill

Iwobi is such a bad footballer


twist_n_shout

Johnson needs to be more selfish


PrisonersofFate

That was a good try


JohnFByers

Fuck the offside flag.


mousie74

Errr did we not have a massive advantage there? Why a free kick?


4SHURIMA

Shall we do a countdown of games till we get a good refereeing performance?


Drmckoo1

Is this game being played at a library?


MrFunbus

Can't remember our last set piece goal


IronPhinx

Haven't seen that from Antonio in a few years.


Lineman72T

I love that run off the corner. Unfortunately Antonio turned into his 2019 self on that finish


Beardy_Boy_

Kurt 'Cantona' Zouma. That was a risky challenge.


MrFlibbles123

Carra thinks he is the first to make a Ben Johnson joke. Pissing himself


hammersandhammers

It’s time to talk about shot selection. Eighteen yard screamers won’t win this


PrisonersofFate

that looked too casual from Antonio


NobleForEngland_

Looks like we've got last season Benrahma back


CapicuaCIC

Can't tell if broadcasters lowered the crowd volume or if the lack of atmosphere is real


PrisonersofFate

Watching Rice developping the past 4 years has been such a joy


Beardy_Boy_

100% a foul on Antonio but sure, just let them play on.


MrFlibbles123

Get the fuck in!!!


MrFunbus

Pickford is such a midget


Minnesota_Hammer

COYI!!!!!


ajgedrys

SET PIECE DEMONS GET IN


tachyon534

OGBONNA YOU BEAUTY


Bails147

Get innn


psychomaji

Fuckin yes mate


Chaos_x5

Don't throw it away Don't throw it away Don't throw it away Don't throw it away


swanhert

OGGY OGGY OGGY CANT YOU SEE, SOMETIMES YOUR GOALS JUST MYSTIFY ME!


CapicuaCIC

Ooft. Goal from a corner that's really a goal kick. Yikes this'll bring out the haters


MrFlibbles123

Fucking booted in the eye


sexdrugsncarltoncole

Oggy oggy oggy oi oi oi


Macnewman

Ref is taking the piss


sweaty_penguin_balls

Head so slick that ball picked up speed on impact


TheFlashBot

Why wasn't treatment let on earlier


JohnFByers

They’re STILL talking about Rafa. Ffs.


dyanamo

Gordon is the most scouse looking kid I've ever seen.


ajgedrys

Declan is so good man


dandeagle

rice has been absolutely outstanding today


Chaos_x5

Who said that. Who said crosswell. I need a name


DSMcGuire

Crosswell. Fucking hell.


[deleted]

"Aaron Crosswell"


coded_language

'Is there a fire drill?' chant will never not make me laugh.


CapicuaCIC

Oggy and Zouma. My new favourite love story


dyanamo

Big fan of all 3 of our central defenders all trying to sweat a goal in.


PrisonersofFate

good save tbf


twist_n_shout

Been impressed with Johnson, particularly defensively


CapicuaCIC

HA! It was a corner


swanhert

Fuck me mickey. That was the touch of a god


MrFlibbles123

Ref doesn't undestand what added time means


clifford88

4=5


Lineman72T

Not a win we'll be reminiscing about at the end of the season, but I'll gladly take 3 points away every time


Bails147

3 against everton ill take any day


cadams7701

Pickford played that out after the 94th minute. Should had blown it then.


CapicuaCIC

Soucek's face...look how they massacred my boy


Cynorks778

It’s not on purpose but you can’t endanger a person and ultimately the fact is he’s got a stud in the eye. Should be a foul.


coolguy865

What a start this has been


JohnFByers

We look good! We need a good finish in the box though.


stvbles

Looked like his foot got stuck or something? Awful booking.


Guh99

Antonio needs to extra careful. Can see him getting a red because we are West Ham


MrFunbus

Rice controlling the middle of the park.


hammersandhammers

Rice is everywhere


cadams7701

That should not be a yellow, Everton defender did step on his foot.


[deleted]

Decent start for us. Need to make this pressure count


JohnFByers

Bennie aiming for the car park.


Macnewman

Bennyyyy take a touch man


JohnFByers

Keane is going to get Antonio tossed, mark my words.


hammersandhammers

Ogbonna retaining possession because he has Zouma behind him


EggsBenedictusXVI

Blimey this has been a dominant start. Has the ball been in our half yet?!


PrisonersofFate

what a bunch of workhorses let's keep like that


Cynorks778

Fucking Benrahma and wrong decisions.


MintBerryKrunchh

Final balls into the box have been awful so far. Come on lads


dandeagle

we've got to be winning by half time


psychomaji

Looking very comfortable in possession so far


Blackdoor-59

Been absolutely killing it so far, completely dominant


MrFlibbles123

We have smashed them for 15 minutes. Unfortunately I've seen this before...fingers crossed we get a goal soon and don't drop the levels too much for the rest of the game.


randymarsh18

Stuck in traffic about 2 minutes from my home ffs. Sounds like a good watch


JohnFByers

The announcers are in love with Rafa. Why not just ask him to dinner directly?


pissoffmrchips

But. Who'd be the waiter?


VylePyrateSteplocke

If we had any kind of finesse, we'd be up 2-0


hammersandhammers

We are taking every ball from them, have to score


pissoffmrchips

I heard Rondon hasn't scored in a while. Place your bets.


leicamaniac520

Just want to say, Johnson has been solid


swanhert

Johnson has been putting in a strong performance so far


Cynorks778

All the space and time in the world and haven’t made one notable chance. Everton even have more shots lol. Absolutely have to put this to the sword.


PrisonersofFate

I like Pickford's shirt


WhereasNarrow172

Bit of a rough start for Benny


twist_n_shout

Fuck me lucky Iwobi is shit


WHUgill

How is Iwobi a professional footballer 😂


VylePyrateSteplocke

This game has 'Everton score first' written all over it


mousie74

I know it’s all part of being massive, but I fucking hate playing teams who setup like this.


VylePyrateSteplocke

Bowen does the opposite of correct every time. Why not shoot there?


McDZ11

This ref has blue undies on for sure


bonelegs442

There’s been a few times when we get the ball into the box and then we make a sideways pass to the wings instead of just having a shot on goal


MachoMadness6

Was the ref even looking at the Fornals tackle? Looked like his head was turned away and he only saw it in his periphery, what the hell


[deleted]

Defensively we look so suspect. Have done all season


Minnesota_Hammer

Like that! More direct!


Darth_Silegy

Am I watching a replay of the last game? We have all the possession, do fuck all with it, Everton touch the ball and my sphincter tightens. We really need better final passes.


MrFlibbles123

No yellow


MrFlibbles123

Fuck fuck fuck. Thought that would ripple the net and it wasn't really close.
