Typical hectic derby stuff. It will calm down in a bit and we will take control.

[NRS]

Currently we're being outplayed. Hopefully get into this soon.

We just dont have a clue at the moment, They are playing with so much passion.

[type-r]

Everton starting to warm up. We need to be ride this out.

Unable to control the midfield or influence the tempo.

[pinchmeimdreamin]

This is when we miss the real Gerrard (General in the middle)

[pinchmeimdreamin]

We are starting to get into the game now.

[type-r]

Origi should have scored.

[Chris Stott]

Lovely move. Getting proper control of the game as thier crowd quietens.

On target and that would have been in!

I'm hoping they tire in the second half and we can get into our game.

Free header for Mori. Who was supposed to be marking him? Defending is a relatively simple art.

[RedTrident]

Wijnaldum and Henderson need to be offering more.

The front 3 doesn't look anywhere near as cohesive with Origi in it, particularly with him on the left.

At times we look scared. I'm sure Klopp will have words.

[pinchmeimdreamin]

I hate Zonal marking.

[TerryThomas]

We tend to come out strong in the second half.

[GLENNRED]

I don't see what Wij brings to the party i'm afraid.

Terrible distribution and cant shoot for st. he is being played too deep, I always thought he was an AM? I guess i was wrong.

[Einion Yrth]

Bloody terrible start, still 0-0. Keep the faith, derbies are very rarely straightforward.

It's a strange one. Earlier on in the season I was really critical of him but when he wasn't there it was clear we didn't move the ball fast enough. He's not doing enough though today, that much is clear.

The weak point for me is Henderson, too slow and doesn't look for the forward pass enough. There was a moment late in the first half where he really should have played it first. Instead he took too long and played it to Lovren who then went for the forward pass.

Me too and it's never made any sense to me, it's pot luck defending.

[type-r]

Damn. How did we not score there?

He has an air about him (NUFC fan here) as though with an amazing-enough team he would be 24 carat silky-smooth quality. We clearly weren't amazing enough. You might not be. Are Real Madrid good enough for gini?
