The level of hate seems to have gone up a bit. Isn't it great.

All last minute winners at Anfield need a bit of it....

Watched that on repeat for the last 10 minutes. VVD was running back to the halfway line with his head in his hands. Might not have seen the goal go in!

:D:D

As great as a late winner is, and as important as the 3 points were, it was a lucky goal and it will gloss over what was a pretty poor performance from Liverpool for most of the game.

Firmino looks a fraction of his former self. Salah is still struggling. Mane mixes the great with the terrible. The midfield isn't working, and our right hand side is still vulnerable with TAA. There are a lot of things we really need to improve.

Origi when he came on scored a goal, but straight after he came on he also took a ball down the right and went past his man. It was more than Firmino did all day. Probably didn't do enough to get a starting spot yet, but he's definitely knocking on the door and Firmino needs a combination of a rest and a boot up the arse.

I don't know what to do about the midfield. I don't think we know what our best three is.

The level of performances seem to be on a sort of level with the rest of the chasing pack - Chelsea, Aresnal and Spurs, but the resilience and quality baked into the side now is what's keeping us in the fight.

We've conceded one fewer than City, but we've conceded 6 fewer than Chelsea who are the next best defence after that, and 13 fewer than Arsenal. 5 goals in 14 games is astonishing. We're in with a shout of becoming the best defence in the history of the PL. If you'd told me that this time last year I'd be calling up the nice men with the straight jackets.

It's not entirely comforting given that attacks win leagues and not so much defences, and we're streets behind City - they may well score half as many goals as us by the end of the season, but it's something to work with in the mean time.

Naby is the biggest factor yet to be seen for us. We lost a bit of momentum with the subs today and lacked width and an outball when Naby came on. Maybe it would've been more prudent to have Origi on first to maintain that, but heyho.

Hopefully he'll come back in against in midweek and he can start to find some rhythm.

Ideally Lallana would offer something in that midfield ball carrier role as well, but he just doesn't look up to it physically anymore.

Other than the obscene number of points we've accrued, the most positive thing is that there is more to come from this side. It's just there's so little margin for error that if it doesn't get here soon, we are going to lose too much ground to make up.

Any long lens footage from the camera behind the goal?
Would like to see more player reactions, especially VVD. He turns away in absolute disgust at his botched shot with a palm over his face.

Oh it's positive alright but just to get back to normality, if that calamity didn't happen we draw that game and would now be 5 points off city, we simply can't and won't keep getting away with performances like today, it was poor stuff yet again today, performances need to improve and we all know that

Great to get the win. Another 2 pts our keeper has won us. We would be atleast 6 pts worse off without him.

20 point swing since round 14 last season

Fab did OK today, just OK. Started well and looked sharp, used the ball well and tackled well. However, he was done a few times, notably by gomes in the build up to one of the chances. Everton at times got at the back 4 easy enough, which is a poor reflection on Fab and Gigi. Tired badly though, looked out on his feet in the last 15,and I was sure he was going to be taken off instead of Shaq.

Is the ‘First if you don’t include City’ title a thing this year?

Cos it looks like there’s going to be new champions crowned if it is and we could be in with a shout.

Is that some sort of alternative table that was used last year ??

As much as I like to have a dig at Liverpool, I was delighted they got that goal in the end. Everton showed no ambition, time wasting at 0-0 and so forth. A small club mentality. Liverpool were not great but they actually tried to win the game and that should always pay off

Maybe try a different sport Richard... That's the most ridiculous viewpoint to take in light of that game today.

Showed no ambition?

Good Lord

Did anyone actually think the ball went out?

I thought it was pretty obvious it never went out and Pickford actually kept it in play.

I did - when I saw the net moving before the ball bounced off the bar and fell for the header, I figured it was out. So very, very glad to be wrong...

Turtyturd

Not going to lie, once it was given I was kinda hoping it had.

Were you actually watching the game? Everton had plenty of chances today and we needed some good saves from Allison and a goal line clearance from Gomez to keep them out.

Interesting - shows that not just the ball was never out of play but Pickford is entirely to blame for keeping it in - have to feel for him, briefly, very, but at least there can't be any moaning about the validity of the goal...

Agent Coulson

I thought Fab did grand he got through a tough derby game without any shockers and again showed signs of what he will offer when he gets a run of games under his belt.

The partnership with Gini seems to work well.

Gini did a lot of the donkey water carrying work today.

Was ok. But got completely done in the build up to the everton chance where it was cleared off the line.

Alisson again with a number of key saves that kept us in the game.

That's why you pay £65m for a keeper.

he's top notch.... so glad we have him.... last season we would have been a couple of goals down in multiple games and prob drawing games
