They were shit because they overspent on average players it wasn’t a conscious decision by the managers to be pubbers

And under Roberto Martinez they actually played decent football as well until things went south for him there

Well no I take that back slightly, when Koeman was there they engaged in shithousery when they didn’t need to.

Their ground (current ground) is a complete toilet as well. But I think more often than not how they’ve played is more a feature of their precarious economic status for the most part. I think we can probably look at how things were under Farhad Moshiri (who was the co owner along with Jabba the Hutt of Red and White Holdings) and say there but for the grace of God go we.

But basically I don’t really have an issue with Everton. I don’t really have an issue with Liverpool either (although judging by many of the posts I make about them, many people would form the impression that the opposite is true). Truth is I respect Liverpool as a football club immensely, they play good football they are run properly and unlike City or Chelsea their success isn’t completely artificial.
What sticks in my craw is that they will win the league despite the fact that I think we are better than them, and without Salah I don’t think it would be close.

With City it’s depressing but last two seasons we were up against a relentless machine. I don’t think Liverpool are in that same category…that they’ve not fallen away is credit to them but I think ultimately whilst they’ve had injuries it’s not been to key players in the side. If Salah did his hamstring today and was out for the rest of the season, I’d be absolutely convinced that we probably would overhaul them. Because he is the difference maker, he’s the one that has consistently popped up with goals in games where they haven’t been great. But he’s also freakishly fit, basically he’s been the greatest signing made by any team since we bought Thierry Henry from Juventus.

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch, Jota, Salah, Diaz.
Subs: Kelleher, Endo, Nunez, Chiesa, Elliott, Tsimikas, McConnell, Quansah, Bradley.

Wolves: Sa; Doherty, Agbadou, Toti; Semedo, J.Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri; Sarabia, Cunha, Guedes
Subs: Bentley, Bueno, Munetsi, Traore, Doyle, Forbs, Bellegarde, Djiga, Lima

Come on Wolves, not that I’m expecting anything from them.

Villa away midweek though will be more interesting.

I’m up in Liverpool at the moment, no good fans causing traffic getting to Anfield. Utterly selfish and inconsiderate :sulk:

Agent Cunha. :bow:

Jota scuffer, wide.

Those are all the stolen cars trying to get away from the Anfield car park.

Wolves look like they have the players to go at that Liverpool defence. If they do, they'll get some goals.

Sarabia completely done Robertson there. :lol:

1-0 Diaz.
