Started off really well, the game kinda faded away towards the end. Frustrating lack of end product still though. I'd take Pulisic off for Mudryk just for something different

Clever little routine for the free-kick. Been years since we tried anything that intricate.

Arghh .. back to type then.

You listening to American commentary? if so, it's Le Saux again. Never seems to be on our side for some reason. I've always put it down to bitterness because he left just before we became a massive force.

Yes .. Live | USA .. no idea who the commentator is ... you could be right though !

Get pulisic out, he's mince.

It's not that this team can't score goals. They can't fking shoot or deliver a cross. We look nice on the eye but this is a familiar frustrating sh*t finishing performance 

All fart no poo 

Good but not good enough. 
 

Keep at it and make the most of the chances.

Weakest player by a distance.  Like playing with a 12 year old out there. Nowhere near good enough

Yeah, it's Le Saux. 

we fail in final third

this is our problem

Lots of negative comments on here.

I thought we have been ok. Decent start-looked really lively. Lots of last gasp blocking from everton. dominating the play. Dominating the chances. 
 

Could do with more shots on target -  it only 1 team looking dangerous 

Best I’ve seen us play in ages. Obvs need to be winning games like this, but it’s looking so much better.

Don't get it.

He won't be here in a few months, his form is pony and he offers nothing. We have 2 hungry new signings on the bench who arrived a month or so ago. 

Potter doesn't help himself at all, his decision making at times is all over the place.

I've seen this story 100 times over, all the possession, shots  chances yet we drop points.

I wish Broja could play instead of Havertz...

We just don’t get a ‘ head of steam’ up these days. Games tend to meander on with pretty play and zero end product.

Same as Andy Townsend...Craig Burley to name but two of the many anti-CFC pundits

Not really impressed with that half. It's the old problems all over again. Wasteful, too slow, making it too easy for the opposition, bland football with a few nice touches here and there. No team flatters to deceive more than us.

Not too much to get excited about in that half. The front three look like they are playing their first game as a trio, which of course they are, and it shows ... 

Fofana, Koulibaly and Fernandez the pick for me, with Felix trying hard but nothing really coming off. No space for Chilwell to do much. James has more space but ineffective.

One issue I have with Felix is he can be a bit greedy when he could instead pass. One point he went for a weak shot at the keeper when James was overlapping into space and he could have passed. 

I liked what i saw, obviously the goal is lacking. Just need that extra step/commitment.

Better than 100% sh*t though !

No great surprise that we are to putting the ball in the net what a scouser is to 'taking things on the chin'.

Felix still looks like a player with that little bit of occasional magic to create a space out of nothing, then look more like Christy Brown when shooting.

Given how much possession we have had Pulisic really should be having more of an impact. Thought he was OK for about 15 minutes but has gone AWOL now.

 

 

Just looking at some of the first half highlights - we have 2 in the box, they have 7, we have one in the box they have 4...no wonder we ain't going to score.

Spot on. I thought I must be watching a different game Jim. We have produced some beautiful inter-play at times. We just need the goal our football has deserved. The only slight, and it is slight, downside for me is Kova. Feel he could be much more direct and faster in moving the ball at times.
