Some cracking goals - great strike from Matic. Solid performance from Chelsea without getting out of 4th gear.

Spurs look like they have a problem getting over the line at tough times.

Embarrassing dive from Moses - embarrassing.



Disagree about Moses that's modern day football, as IMO there isn't a player in the Prem who isn't going down over Son's leg there. And if they don't there getting one hell of a talking too by there manager!

Sad but it's true.
Son was silly for giving Moses the opportunity to go down.
In the modern game it's a penalty.
But for me it should be a penalty when a player is actually brought down,rather than taking the opportunity to go down.

There is no contact at all so why has he gone down with the swan dive ? He could have easily hurdled the tackle and gone on with the ball but he threw himself to the ground with no touch - it's a blatant dive and cheating but you are prob right it's modern football

Be nice if you sat in the same armchair whilst watching the Liverpool games so that you get as clear a view & can condemn your own players when they do it 👍🏻.

Oh look I've just turned this onto Liverpool 😱

If Liverpool could afford him would you take him?

I know it's a hyperthetical question, I'm just interested to know.
Well Liverpool could afford him but no one in their right mind is going to spend the reported asking price on him - for £30ish mil he would be a good buy and expect A club will prob spend £35/40 mil to get him in the summer

No, and certainly not at the current figure Everton value him at. From what I've seen his work rate isn't good enough. He's got a 1 in 2 record but so has Benteke.

You're obsessed with Carroll aren't yer :whistle:

And you still haven't answered my question.

I ignored your first post as it was banter, :thup: as no player scores in every game.

And never in a million years would any of you lot say you'd take an Everton player and you call us bitter :rofl:

Yet Liverpool managed to draw £50M for Sterling?

Not even 12 months ago we sold a centre half for £48M, can I please have some of whatever substance you're using?

You'd make a very good Tory politician :whistle:

I have a healthy dislike for Everton, I'm happy to admit that but I will always be honest about a player regardless of whom they play for.

I rate Lukaku, just not as highly as everybody else does. He's got a 1 in 2 record which is very good but the top strikers do much more than just score goals.

Oh yeah....I forgot Klopp only likes players that run around a lot.

The fact is "the flat track bully" scores all his goals against the teams Liverpool struggle against. Just a thought like.

A lot of the Sterling fee was down to the English player tax and City more than happy to pay over the odds , same with Stone

Right now there are a lot of strikers around and expect there to be a lot on the move during the summer - with Ibrahimovich now prob done at Man Utd then can see them going for Lukaku because don't see them getting their main target , then there is Chelsea who maybe looking to get him to replace Costa but again don't see him being their number one target - so Lukaku could move this summer but because i don't see the top clubs seeing him as their main target they won't spend whatever it takes. Is there much difference between him and Benteke ? Not really from what I have seen

Behave, all you want your top striker to do is score goals.......end of.
He's 23 and I'll freely admit that in a bigger club he'd be an even better player, great goslscoring record for us and for the past few years we've averaged top 10 which makes his record even better, he hasn't had the top players (bar 1 or 2) around him providing the service.

There's no point in buying a £50m striker if he only scores against 10 teams is there?
