Liverpool 2-2 Everton: In game thread and post match discussion

Thought the ref and linesman were really, really poor today.  Plenty of effort, but not enough quality.

The one bald linesman was awful. Kuyt had a rightful go at him, as did torres. Some shamefully bad decisions.

The defence needs to be sorted. Too many times we have conceded even with the best keeper in the world. It's so unacceptable especially since we took the lead!

Two lapses of concentration saw us wrong today, regardless of what decisions went whoever's way - we should still be able to defend.

Skrtel has been a burden these last few months. Not sure what's going on there.

Still, 2-2 seems fair to me.

After each game it is becoming more evident that we are mid table team,and no team fear us anymore..Kenny should have put Babel on way earlier in that 2nd half..

Skrtel was again crap for the goals soon as DAgger went off he was shown up.

I think the major positive we can take from today is that the confidence levels seem to be on the rise, a lot more passion & hurrying to get the ball off the opposition.

I'm not going to concentrate on anything negative, we've had way too much of that and especially in the last 6 months it's been so intense i've lost sleep on too many nights.

We're on our way back, simple as.

Delighted Kenny gave chances to Spearing and Shelvey and Kelly again. He got it right there did Kenny.


And I can't wait till Jamie Carragher returns as long as Aggers fit. He's not been great this season but for the love of god anything to stop the unfolding horror show that is Martin Skrtel.

I think the lack of confidence is the big thing. We know that Skrtels is a better player than that, we know we can put away some of the chances in the 1st half, but when the confidence is low nothing seems to go right.

If this had been say Tottenham we had played today i'd be please with yet again an improvement. slowly it's starting to come together. I think Kelly showed Gleny boy up today in how to defend.

Only a point from the game dissapointed a game we should have won poor second half perfomance, loosing Agger was a big factor, Skrtel is shocking, we need to replace him. Didn't create much second half compered to the first, Could have done with a win, well Wolves away next a game we must not loose
  Sign of how far we have slipped, Wolves away a must not loose game.

I don't understand Kenny's subbing if I must admit. I think Babel would have done well when the game was stretched.

Little bundle of joy you are, aren't you?

Such a delight!

was till i watched these pile of sh-t playing

Skrtel and Kuyt. If anyone deserved to be dropped, it's them. Diabolical.

Spot on. Has gone pass sell by date.

I don't understand Kenny's subbing if I must admit. I think Babel would have done well when the game was stretched.

I would have brought on Cole for Maxi to me he did nothing in the game to warrent 90 mins.

I tend to agree.  We were hoping for an instant fix but we're getting a gradual one.  The team is putting more effort in, we are pressing and playing higher rather than sitting deep and inviting pressure.  We need some quality in the middle alongside Lucas.  If only Aquilani was here!

Man for man again how many we conceded this season since we switched to it?
The s-y monkeys wont bring that up though because they called for it but it doesn't suit our defenders or keeper.

was till i watched these pile of sh-t playing

Then don't watch them.

I thought we were much improved today than we have been in recent matches. Our passing game was there to see in the first-half, we hoarded their defence non-stop and made life very difficult for them.

They capitalised by scoring two goals that probably shouldn't have stood. And if they hadn't have stood, tell me, would you still be calling them a pile of sh*te?

Kelly was outstanding today, must play in that position. Thought we battled well but shocking defending for 5 min cost us.

Martin Skrtel and Dirk Kuyt do not deserve to start as many games as they do.  Shocking from both today - Skrtel especially is a huge liability and continues to cost us goals this season.  Wish we had more cover in defence with Daniel 'sicknote' Agger injured again.

Overall we played quite decent, especially first half.  So disappointed with a draw though.  That start to the second half was diabolical!

Tough choice here, either maxi or lucas. Lucas cus he carried Meireles and Spearing or Maxi because he was apart of everything we did. I'll say Lucas.

We really missed Agger when he went off...

Woops clicked johnson

Agree and if Dirk starts next game it looks like he is undroppable and this should never be the case at this club.

Skrtel was again shocking and seems unable to even do the basics at the minute.

are you joking??? kuyt ran every ball, was in every little inch of the field.. hope you can do it better..
