Right! I get Lex's sneaky feeling, I had that for a brief moment but the reality is Utd are really terrible and usually, terrible teams continue being terrible regardless of the circumstances.

With that said, 1-0 to Utd and about 4 VAR decisions going against Liverpool.

The "things go out the window" stuff is honestly BS.

99.9% of the time it's nonsense but people repeat it every year regardless.

It's not. There is always more motivation in this game from the home team. Everton vs Liverpool another example.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Oct 18, 2019 2:44 pm

Yet you still win the large majority of the time.

There's no evidence to suggest it's not BS.

We've won once in the past 6 league meetings across 3 years. That game as well we struggled until Shaqiri scored 2 real big fluke goals to win it 3-1.

Edit: Even if we go 10 PL games back to 2014, this 3-1 is still our only win against United in the PL.

No idea where you get this majority.

Lots of draws and Manchester United wins over the last 5 years though that actually makes sense as United finished higher than Liverpool for 3/5 of these seasons and it was only last season that Liverpool was clearly the better team. Well and the one Liverpool win happened last year.

Tbf the data actually supports the theory that nothing crazy happens just cause United play Liverpool and if that's true Liverpool should trash United this season :coffee:

Exactly lol, it's nonsense and very rare the team not in form actually wins.

Yet people continue to push it every year because nobody pushes back on the BS.

At Anfield.

We've finished above United 3 times as well in the past 5 years and we've been unable to break down United. Mostly because of Mourinho. I expect a win but I am a pessimist.

Mole quickly jumping ship from his initial hypothesis after Nishank disproved him onto zigra's hypothesis lmaooo you love to see it

Only learned there is Liverpool Fútbol Club in Montevideo via GL app
WATTBA

Well-placed sources are adamant the 46-year-old retains the support of Woodward and the Glazer family.

Woodward said last month the club needed to be patient and it is understood that even a heavy defeat at home to Liverpool on Sunday would not change the situation.

Not surprised

Give him more time imo

It's back

by Zagadka Sat Oct 19, 2019 10:53 am

Man, last 2 weeks felt like years.

Buzzing like a baby just to watch PL today.

by Jay29 Sat Oct 19, 2019 10:58 am

Spare a thought for Arsenal/Sheffield United fans, who have to wait until Monday night. Mad

Monday night games are the worst.

by Hapless_Hans Sat Oct 19, 2019 11:02 am

NT break has been terrible, but honestly there's more important stuff happening in UK today than Everton playing against West Ham

who cares about this trash PL today

by RealGunner Sat Oct 19, 2019 11:35 am

Everton XI; Pickford, Sidibe, Keane, Mina, Digne, Gomes, Davies, Bernard, Walcott, Iwobi, Richarlison

West Ham XI; Jiminez, Fredericks, Ogbonna, Diop, Masuaku, Noble, Rice, Fornals, Lanzini, Anderson, Haller

by iftikhar Sat Oct 19, 2019 11:39 am

How is Lanzini these days? He was pretty well rated couple years back.

by Jay29 Sat Oct 19, 2019 12:48 pm

Everton 1-0.

Bernard passes up the easier looking chance, somehow turns around in the box and finishes from an impossible angle. Keeper's positioning looked suspect.

All this talk of Marco Silva being bad, but his Everton are the league's under-performers so far thanks to bad finishing.

by RealGunner Sat Oct 19, 2019 12:57 pm

Moist kean was an awful buy. Back to Torino or somewhere in a year i think.

by Hapless_Hans Sat Oct 19, 2019 1:04 pm

ok maybe Villa vs Brighton will be more interesting after all than Ian Blackford shouting for the 4th time within 2 hours in the exact same words that "Scotland has been absolutely and utterly shafted".

These Scots, I don't know, can't take anyone with this accent seriously, sorry. What a dumb accent. It's only charming in very few cases, in most cases it's a bit dumb. In some it's both.

by Jay29 Sat Oct 19, 2019 1:12 pm

Walcott's movement has been so good so far. Like he's 25 again tbh.

Iwobi's picked up the ball in good spaces but is trying to dribble his way through everything.

Richarlison has been selfish all half.

West Ham have been non-existent. They're definitely the easiest team to play against in that mid-table group.

by RealGunner Sat Oct 19, 2019 1:18 pm

Walcott will retire as one of the most underrated players in the PL era.

by El Gunner Sat Oct 19, 2019 1:20 pm

Everton playing their best game of football this season. Still nothing special for their standards though. Should probably have created more chances with the amount of space they've had in the West Ham half.

West Ham have done absolutely nothing lol.

by RealGunner Sat Oct 19, 2019 2:00 pm

cfc team: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Tomori, Zouma, Alonso; Barkley, Jorginho, Mount; Willian, Abraham, Hudson-Odoi.
