I think Kendall will struggle at Bilbao; Colin Harvey is the tactical brain in that partnership. I have no such fears for EFC - the squad is strong and with the impending addition of Barnes and Beardsley (where else would they go?) I can't really see anyone challenging us for the next few years. I think we may match LFC's 16 titles by the late-'90s! - Michael Jones, 18 June 1987 17:55 (25 years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Fulham 1-3 Liverpool
Liverpool look increasingly dangerous -- seems they will do better next season.

i am watching the highlights of the liverpool game, they don't look any great shakes in this one. but they have looked better lately (easy to play when their season has been over since whenever, though?)

I revive this thread to mark the high point of Liverpool FC's history since the European Cup victory in 2005.
Happily it is also a high point for Everton FC who I hope will finish in fourth place.

Both sides are better than they've been in recent memory, and it's largely down to Swansea.

Fascinating. From a line of Tory-hating Catholics, I had to be Evertonian, I guess.

Everton broke their club record scoreline in a pre-season friendly yesterday: 0-22 at ATV Irdning of Austria, in new manager Marco Silva's first match.
You can even watch the goals here!

There's a point around goal 11 where you just see something break inside the goalkeeper and he's only halfway through the ordeal. Goal number 19 is the really insulting one though, the point where he realises he just can't be bothered any more.

Big result for Everton yesterday.

But, miserably, there is no end in sight to the derby drought. 1971-78 was the defining barren spell of my childhood and why Andy King's winner was celebrated so deliriously. This doesn't just surpass that, it's the longest winless run by either team in the history of the fixture. Almost makes one pine for the 1990s.
