Good to see this thread is as informative as usual.

Jaysus, Ancelotti has one hell of a job on his hands on the basis of today's game against Liverpool's kids.

Cantona's Collars

I only saw bits of the game and what I did see never looked like a derby game.

Everton ended up being afraid to play against Liverpools kids. Their fans had the entire Anfield Road end and I could barely hear them, the atmosphere was a strange one and only got loud following the goal. A derby in name only but yet another home win v Everton.

9/14 of Liverpool's 'kids' that featured are over the age of 21:

Milner - 34
Adrian - 33
Lallana - 31
Oxlade-Chamberlain - 26
Minamino - 24
Origi - 24
Phillips - 22
Gomez - 22
Chirivella - 22

Milner played 9 minutes and Ox played 20. Minamino is at the club 3 days. That was Philips first senior appearance I think. Chrivela has about 5 first team games but not 100% on that.

We had this sh1te After the Arsenal carabao game too. Yeah they're not all kids, its still the reserves and still embarrassing to be beat by them when full strength.

None of that changes the fact that 9/14 who featured were over the age of 21. Hardly kids.

Full strength is a very generous description for an Everton featuring the likes of Schneiderlin, Sidibe, Walcott, plus Coleman playing as a CB.

Nah, it wouldn't, not from any sane poster anyway.

I think Mr. Nice Guy has a point. Reserves would be a more accurate description than kids.

Fantastic to see them win whatever you want to call them, and a cracking goal too.

Sidibe has pretty much been a start for Everton recently and one of our better players.

RasTa

Yup, They have to be Elliot's age to qualify as a kid. Good result for Liverpool reserves/2nd team

A reserve side minus the injured Clyne, Lovren & Shaqiri too remember. And Harry Wilson.

3 of the 4 Liverpool defenders that played 80 odd minutes of the match had a combined 1 first team appearance for Liverpool.

Williams (18) - 1
Phillips (22) - 0
Larouci (18) - 0

Before today, Phillips had made a total of 9 career starts. So that's a total of 10 total career starts for 3 players combined. Don't try and tell me that they are not kids.

The other defender was Gomez who is also 22.

BullBlackNova

Does it really matter if they were kids, reserves, whatever? I don't think you'll find anyone that is arguing that it's Liverpool's first team - a collection of one starter (Gomez), several back ups (Adrian, Lallana, Minamino on his first Start, Origi) and reserve/u23s (Elliott, Jones, Williams, Larouci, Philips, Chirivella).

It's hardly the ****ing A-team. Everton are ravaged too but should still be mighty frustrated with their very poor showing in the second half. This Liverpool team was there to be beaten.

Kids in round 4 too I'd expect,and hope.

Everton were evens favourites at kick off

He's been playing as an unorthodox right-winger. I've watched him a lot over the years in Ligue 1. Man's been past his best since 16/17.

Two Liverpool posters did call for Klopp to be sacked last January and replaced by Conte cause Conte wins things.

They were deadly serious and long time posters not burner profiles on the windup

He's starting out of position in a team dealing with injuries. Sidibe on the right flank is not what I'd call full strength.

They are just posters who don't find joy in anything related to Liverpool football they still post and complain about things at the club now.


If they can't enjoy Liverpool at them moment they will never be happy.

The kids aren't really kids....Ole loves his plentiful clean sheets....fan...fans...bangkok's mates wanted rid of Klopp.

It's been a great auld day all the same.

Only Joe.ie - being the pinnacle of journalism that they are - would publish an article based on two tweets from idiots saying they want Klopp out. Don't know why you're saying "plenty" of fans wanted him gone when all you all you can produce is said article which actually concedes that most of the mentions on Twitter were opposition fans on the wind. If you scour Twitter you'll find anything you that you look for amongst the billions of other pointless tweets. If I search for someone saying that Phil Jones should replace Ole as manager at United I'll probably find it - does that mean that plenty of United fans want it? Should Joe.ie write an article about it? :rolleyes:

But is he better than the great Ole?
Would he pacify Pogba enough?

Do you hear yourself?

No significant portion of the fanbase ever wanted him gone.

A liverpool supporter wantsed klopp sacked and anchelotti brought in

Fitz*

A section? 2 lads in about 20,000,000.

Whereas 4 CL sheets in 22 games against teams of anyone of note is "plenty".

Next we'll hear that 5% is majority.

Mr.Nice Guy

Don't agree with bangkok on Solskjaer but in his defence there were those that wanted Klopp gone, albeit a minority:

Interesting discussion about it here from an old match thread.

Iused2likebusts

I never thought I'd say it but bring back the liverpool/utd bickering over this stuff.

This is gripping.

So have we established that it was at least 1 Liverpool fan, 2 years ago?

This is it

This is tedious as fûck.
