Today's footie

[jrgbfc]

Fancy Everton today with the team Liverpool have got out...

[MrTopTier]

Liked the look of Chelsea’s home strip today.

[FactualFrank]

Some of these Liverpool youngsters could be worth a 6 month loan.

[bfcmik]

more Toffee fans at Anfield (8500) than our attendance yesterday!

Such a massive journey for them. Do you think we would only have had just over 8k on the Turf if we had drawn Blackburn in the 3rd round?

all look to be more comfortable on the ball than our entire team other than McNeil

[ClaretTony]

We would have been pushing towards a full house if we’d have been playing Blackburn

[Volvoclaret]

Strange first half, high tempo, players passing AND shooting. This isn't football as we know it.

[ElectroClaret]

We would have been pushing towards a full house if we’d have been playing Blackburn

Yep. 20,478 on the last time we played em on the Turf.
(The Andre Gray peno 1-0 win in 2016, I think, unless I've missed one.)

Would have been something similar.

[ClaretTony]

There were 16,000+ at Ewood for the League Cup too in 2017 and that’s a lesser competition. Over 5,000 of us there that night.

[Spijed]

Strange first half, high tempo, players passing AND shooting. This isn't football as we know it.

I could have sworn that's exactly what we did yesterday, pass and shoot, scoring four goals in the process.

[Vegas Claret]

I know Jon Moss is usually a homer but he has taken it to another level today, given Everton nothing

[ElectroClaret]

Cracker.

[Vegas Claret]

what a goal that is

[Quickenthetempo]

Some of these young Liverpool lads would look great on our bench.

[MrTopTier]

Bill Shankly could have been right, there are only two teams on Merseyside, Liverpool and Liverpool reserves.

[FactualFrank]

Belter. And Pickford's attempt made it look even better.

[ClaretAndJew]

Some of these young Liverpool lads would look great on our bench.

Lad on their right looks good. Probably decompose on our bench if he came here.

[claretdj]

I hope dyche is watching these liverpool kids, maybe try to get on loan the right back Williams n the winger Jones, both look cracking prospects..

[Granny WeatherWax]

Not watched a live game on the BBC in a while. They need to invest in some better cameras, rubbish picture compared to sky.

[Vegas Claret]

I hope dyche is watching these liverpool kids, maybe try to get on loan the right back Williams n the winger Jones, both look cracking prospects..

Liverpool will only send kids out to teams that will help them progress, sitting on our bench or learning how to hoof it is exactly the opposite of what the do

[WazzaClaret]

Just stick a bid in for williams. He can play 2nd fiddle to bardsley till the end of next season. Looks very very good.

[Millertime v1.7]

Pickford is sneering chav ****. Sneering swaggering arrogant chav ****. Loved the look on his face as he was in mid air and saw it drop into the postage stamp. A vile entity.

[jrgbfc]

Joe Gomez looking back to his best now. Englands best centre back by a mile.

[ClaretTony]

I hope dyche is watching these liverpool kids, maybe try to get on loan the right back Williams n the winger Jones, both look cracking prospects..

Wouldn’t be able to sign them both on loan in any case, only one from any one club.

[claretdj]

Exactly, dyche saying it's a tough market is January maybe true, but there is always the loan market to use instead & liverpool have some excellent young players, we should look at city's young players to.

[jrgbfc]

Even with Liverpools injury problems I don't think it will affect them at all. Most of these lads look well capable of stepping up and doing a job for the first team.

[claretdj]

Wouldn’t be able to sign them both on loan in any case, only one from any one club.

I will take the right back then Williams!

[ClaretTony]

I didn't think Liverpool had a chance of winning that this afternoon when I saw the team sheets but in the end it was fully deserved - some real talent coming through there

[Vegas Claret]

you can see the cohesion between their younger teams and the first team, training must be identical in terms of style

[claretdj]

Nice to see youth been given a go, barring McNeil who have we got coming through that will be given a chance in the first team?

[FactualFrank]

It's got to be good for England too, assuming the majority of them qualify to play for England.

[ClaretTony]

Let's be fair about this - they've spent millions and millions and millions on building up their academy. We've been a cat 2 for two and a half years and are still in the process of recovering from a disastrous few years that nearly destroyed ours completely. You can't under any sensible conditions compare what Liverpool are doing to what's happening at our club.

[Im_not_Robbie_Blake]

Blimey - Liverpool can dominate the world for years!

Everton on the other hand - !!!!. Ancelotti will never have had a job as horrible as this before.

[Steve1956]

What a squad they have at Liverpool can see the dominating English football like Fergie did at United,one of those outstanding today was 16 years old ..Wow!

[Steve1956]

Everton spend millions and still never threaten the top six,Ancelotti will fail big style at that club.

What about Man City?

Not exactly a poor side in comparison

[Steve1956]

They have peaked mate,need to spend big style.

[k90bfc]

Give some up and coming players a chance in the FA Cup,nothing to lose,experience for them,gives the injuries to the first team squad time to heal,Liverpool Kids beat a full strength Everton today,they should have played Keano!

[Quickenthetempo]

I hope the board are looking at this game.

One club invest plenty of money in fast hungry youngsters and one buys nearly men like Theo Walcott and Schniderlin who their club wanted rid off.

There's only one way forward in modern football.

I'm a bit confused QTT,which way is our club going?

As for today's football, which is the topic. Good to see the pitch side monitor used and Steve Evans gloves were terrible. Dyche best never wear gloves...........

In a one off cup game some Liverpool youngsters beat a strong senior Everton team.
While in the league which Liverpool will win, they on average play a squad a year older than Everton (source premierleague.com)

Norwich 25y 68d (going down)

Everton 26y 73d
Liverpool 27y 59d (league winners)

Burnley 28y 123d
Palace 29y 153d
Watford 29y 204d

But let's not let facts get in the way of bashing the club.

[Quickenthetempo]

I'm a bit confused QTT,which way is our club going?

Recently we have gone bringing experienced players in that can't get in their team.

Someone said on twitter we will sign Walcott in a years time and it frightened me.

Have you just mentioned facts and Liverpool being League winners in the same post?

[Steve1956]

They were telling you porkies...it will be in three years time.

[Steve1956]

Did anyone notice how tatty Peterborough's kit was yesterday,it looked like they had ripped off the League one badges,then sewed the FA Cup badge on the other sleeve,on some of the kits the sponsors name all had letters missing,it must be crap when you can't look smart on your big day out.

[jrgbfc]

Leeds started well at Arsenal, Bamford hit the bar. Leeds pressing high and playing some great football.

[FactualFrank]

Arsenal look like they can't be arsed, but Leeds pressing and passing well.
