How these roles work
Blamed (Causer)
Fans named this player as the direct cause of a negative outcome. Examples: "Maguire gave away the penalty", "Ten Hag's formation cost us". Scores are amplified when the causer is blamed clearly.
Sympathy (Victim)
This player was on the receiving end of something — a foul, a bad decision, being dropped, or let down by teammates. Fans feel for them rather than against them.
Credit (Beneficiary)
Fans gave this player clear credit for a positive outcome — a goal, an assist, a key moment. Includes players who enabled something good to happen. This is the co-winner of a match moment.

I have absolutely no idea what our plan is to play with Isak. We don't seem to play to his strengths (which to be fair he doesn't seem to be able to do either). The early ball from Wirtz through to him is what we should be trying to do constantly, not just lumping it forward and hoping he can make it stick.

Everton Fans Turn on Thierno Barry After Merseyside Derby Defeat
Emerging
Everton supporters have launched a scathing critique of striker Thierno Barry following the 1-2 loss to Liverpool, with fans claiming he showed no effort or conviction when called upon as a substitute and demanding the club sell him in the summer. The consensus is brutally clear: Barry's attitude has collapsed since a previous incident, and Everton wasted a genuine opportunity to get a result because his lacklustre performance couldn't match the impact of Beto before injury forced him off the pitch.

"A scrappy match that could've gone either way. 1-1 would've been a good result. Seeing Salah score in his last Merseyside derby was comforting, but to actually get 3 points via the big man was exhilarating. And Liverpool will need those points going into these last 5 games, none of which are easy."
Fan
"I watched the game today as a neutral, and the ref today was so biased, Liverpool and especially Gravenberch kicked the Everton players non stop for the first half, yet no cards for the consistent fouling, Gravenberch had committed about five fouls in the first 20mins, and every decision was no card and play on. I had to turn it off it as the decisions were so one sided. Not surprised to see that the winning goal was also a foul on a Everton player."
Fan
"From a Liverpool supporter here in Ireland, i went to visit both at Easter, Anfield and the Hill Dickenson, beautiful stadium, fair play to Everton. Wonderful city. Wonderful people. A nice win today, even if yet, again, it was way past in overtime, a bit lucky. Van Dijk will be gone anyway by next season i reckon. An important 3 points this, but Everton is not our enemy, not mine anyway, thry ate not the threat, it's Man. United, we should be chasing them down to the last minute for the last match of the season, overtake their third spot. Catch them if we can. Go all out now for the time that is left. Our focus must be on reeling in Manchester United."

I think he's been ok, played a few good passes but far from spectacular. Him and Isak have the potential to form an amazing partnership - need to see him move up a gear. +
Seems to position himself directly behind defenders and doesn’t move around in the box. Puts his back to the goal in a static position.
He plays some nice passes but he looks like a little boy on the pitch, I'm sure he will improve when the whole team is actually playing better but it's clear he's not the player we thought we were buying −
↳ This
He’s not having th best of games but creating 2 chances one for gakpo and one for isak
Done more wrong than right for sure. We don’t get him the ball enough in the middle of the pitch tho IMO −
I'm just not convinced he or Isak are going to live up to those price tags, I have to be honest. I'm not even sure it's fair to expect*anyone* to. It was an absolutely mental amount of money that looks more baffling with each passing week. −
↳ Yeah two premier league record singing in one window ia crazy. Heaps pressure on the players, more expectation, harder to replace if doesn't work out or they get injured. −

↳ Going to another sub to correct grammar isn’t the flex that you think it is, champ  −
Yeah I'm struggling to see what Barry dies better than beto. Betos physicality is so much better.
The game seemed to underscore the exact issues we've known about all season. With a fit grealish, a proper striker, and either a fit brantwaithe for the full game or another more reliable player on the back line, we absolutely would have won that. This season has always been a building season for the run to come, but having those rough edges get exposed in the derby stings +
↳ We will never have a fit Branthwaite the whole season, think that much is obvious now. −
↳ He's never leaving because he's always going to be injured in the summer.
Fuck it, if we'd just taken Beto off and not brought Barry on we would have done better −
I’d much rather we keep Beto and get rid of Barry this summer. He’s just been a pouty passenger the whole season. Way she fucking goes. I hate the derby. Deserved to win that one −
↳ > Deserved to win that one Didn’t test their 3rd choice keeper once. We didn’t deserve more than a point. −

Motm for me. Excellent on the ball, we've missed that build up player at RB. +
Frustrating at times cruyff turning 3 times 10 yards away from our goal but struck the perfect balance between control and intensity. Can't say the same for anyone else
He does run with the ball too much at times, but he does put a proper shift in.
Too bad he’s being driven out the club for “Wharton” −
↳ For Wharton? He's been driven out to keep playing Gravenberch
↳ I mean his fee will go to the summer window transfer fund. Our genius leaders decided to give Grav 270k instead of reassessing after the season so we’re stuck regardless.
Was a hard job. There was only one moment I absolutely hated from him he was strolling around off the ball and completely lost track of the runner. He’s confident on the ball but has to be working harder getting back in −
↳ Same, it was when Everton was on the counterattack and when Curtis was supposed to press Dewsbury-Hall, he lets Konaté handle it, causing Konaté to deprive the defense of shape, with the oncoming runner winning against Gravy, who Curtis also could have helped in preventing, but was still walking We are fortunate that Everton chance was off
↳ he’s not a right back mate calm down −
↳ That’s not a thing exclusive to fullbacks. If he’s in midfield he still has to do that job of chasing back a runner. It’s defensive awareness and heart to get back and chase.
"I’m happy enough tbh. Just stop waffling about in defence (jones) And for the love of god give Isak the ball it’s that simple "
20 replies mixed replies more negative Show replies
Same. I’ve honestly just accepted that that’s who Jones is tbh. He will just never learn. −
I don't understand how things still look this disconnected with him, front 3 with Salah and Gakpo wide has not worked a single time since they don't connect with him and we still keep playing the exact same way now as we were in October. Guarantee we'll take him off and immediately start sending a ton of crosses in as per usual. −
↳ Tbf it was my primary concern last season. Diogo and Darwin both struggled to get involved, Diaz had some more luck but he was a cf moreso who linked things up. Was hoping it was improve this year but ah well 😂 −
↳ For sure, Salah and Gakpo are incredibly similar profiles on the wing which I've never liked, it can be good to have two goal threats but both being so direct makes the team way less fluid imo. You're absolutely right that we need a CF between those two, Diaz was our most effective player there last year despite barely scoring because of this. Playing Isak in between those two is setting him up to fail and I've been super frustrated that he's seen the majority of his minutes in this setup instead of with wing players like Rio or Frimpong (in the first half of the season he was barely played with Wirtz either). −
↳ I think it’s a bit part of our problem this year. We’re stuck between two sides, we want to transition to a striker focused attack with provider wingers like Rio, but you can’t really do that with Cody and Salah as your main wingers. Leads to us being a bit disjointed and then just topples further −
↳ Our team is still very “let’s play through our wingers” focused… and both our wingers are strikers in disguise so it’s not like they’ll look to make plays for Isak either
It's not that simple to just give isak the ball. Ekitike used to drop deep or push to the wider areas to get the ball and make link up play. Isak has done none of that. Idk if it's a tactical change or just a fitness issue, but it's a problem. I suspect that it's the second. −
↳ Ekitike dropping deep and picking it up didn’t lead to us scoring, basically all of his goals were just outside the six yard box −
↳ It made our attacking play much better, and disrupted the defensive shape of teams. Ekitike dropping deep would basically drag a player out of position and hence we would be able to find space. It would help in the build up play which you can say helps in the attack. +
↳ And that’s why Ekitike developed this weird need to keep the ball and get it to the box himself that’s been so frustrating the last few months. Our team is very poor at utilisation a CF for what they are there for. −
