Everton v Liverpool: Player Ratings | OneFootball

Well, after failing to beat the Red Bastards, I've marked them all down a point from what I was going to give them. No Man of the Match because that was a glorious opportunity to beat them spurned yet again.

Jordan Pickford - 6

Stupidly booked early on but made some key saves, yet marked down for letting them score twice.

Jake O'Brien - 7

Solid defending and did well a couple of times getting forward.

James Tarkowski - 6

Key clearance off the line but marked down for not stopping Van Dijk's header.

Jarrad Branthwaite - 7

Brilliant positioning but it could be a massive hit with his hamstring after clearly being fouled by Graebberch -- not given.

Vitalii Mykolenko - 6

Well involved but his crossing is just not accurate enough.

Idrissa Gana Gueye - 7 

His interventions are just brilliant -- and he didn't do any of his daft shots

James Garner - 7

Well involved: Garner was Garner

Dwight McNeil - 5

Clever touches but he's just not strong enough, and failed to shoot on target

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - 7

Showed great desire and anticipation but the ball doesn't quite stick to him as it should.

Iliman Ndiaye - 7

Such great feet, and a good goal, but otherwise, he did not deliver enough end-product, and that's my biggest beef with him.

Beto - 8

He scored and he worked very hard... but his miss when clean through was horrific.

Substitutes:

Thierno Barry - 3

Ran about after he came on but did not affect the play.

Tyrique George - 3 

Given 10 minutes plus stoppage time to make an impact. Did nothing bar trap the ball nicely with his first touch.

Michael Keane - 5

Late sub, perhaps should have done more at that last corner?

What did Barry do to get a 3?

Pickford 5, poorO'Brien 6 Mykolenko 6 Tarkowski 5 Branthwaite 7 Garner 6 Gueye 6 Dewsbury-Hall 7 Ndiaye 7 McNeil 4 Beto 8

Barry 0 George 4

Moyes 0. Didn't try to win

Poor 2nd half performance for me as they were crap too, they were there for the taking. And to cap it off, Jarrad Branthwaite will be out for the rest of the season.

Anyone for Irola, lol? Oh and Barry, please fuck off with your sulk and worst touch ever.

Totally pissed off. 😠

Neil Cremin 5 Posted 19/04/2026 at 16:53:10

Curious, Paul, on how you maintain that Moyes didn't try to win.

What should he have done.

Kevin Naylor 6 Posted 19/04/2026 at 16:55:06

Moyes's record over the last 30 years just proves he hasn't got what it takes to get to the next level -- and never will have.

This is his level and, if you are happy with that, then great.

Mark Ryan 7 Posted 19/04/2026 at 17:01:15

He should refuse to play Barry in any game. That would be a start, Neil.

Anyone but Barry up front would have galvanised the team. That's on Moyes. It's his team.

If I were the manager, I wouldn't play Barry ever.

Derek Powell 8 Posted 19/04/2026 at 17:03:09

Moyes has won only four of his 41 Premier League games against Liverpool.

His points-per-game rate of 0.54 is the lowest against any team in his managerial career in the competition. What's he ever won domestically?

Paul Murray 9 Posted 19/04/2026 at 17:04:12

Put us on the front foot, Neil, which he didn't. He left Dwight McNeil on for far too long -- he was blowing after 55 minutes, jogging back as usual

There was no intensity after the initial first 20 minutes. Even when we scored, we weren't doing much... neither were they; that's why it's pissed me off.

As for bringing Barry on, I don't care the only other striker on bench. Liverpool took a striker off and put a winger on who should've scored by the way.

We put a sulking lump up front who cannot control a football and looks like he's serving a 25-year prison sentence when he plays. I detest the wanker Barry -- that is not Moyes.

If you think we tried to attack and win the game today, Neil, fair play, that's your opinion, but it definitely isn't mine. We set up not to lose, as is usual in the big games that matter.

Paul Murray 11 Posted 19/04/2026 at 17:08:59

You cannot expect George to turn the game on its head with 10 minutes here and there, Neil.

He deserves a start or a full few halves at least.

Neil, I'd play my gran before Barry. I think he brings down the mood. He lowers the expectation of the fans and so the team will feel the same. I'd have Dibling before Barry. I'd have Officer Dibble before Barry.
