With all the improvement that Everton have made this year they are only 2 points away from the gap between the 2 clubs for all of last season and we're not even half way through the season and we haven't even been playing well!

are liverpool not getting a load more points though. Sounds like lies damn lies and statistics that.

And what?  The chatter all week was how Everton were now on a par with Liverpool.  The reality is that they are not.  They are as far away from each other as they ever were and not getting any closer.  I would fancy that when we hit form with the forward line we will pull even further away and 20 points of a gap by the end of the season would not be out of the realms of possibility.

It's fairly undeniable that the Toffees are a lot better than they were last year though. That draw they got an Anfield last year was a disgrace, and probably another nail in Sam Allardyce's coffin.

It depends on how you view Liverpool last year though.

This year Liverpool are doing the right things to go about landing a PL title, slightly tighter at the back, functional enough midfield with the strike force still getting just enough goals to put teams away.

IMO last year Klopp got caught up in the hype of Salah, Firmino, Mane bagging goals for fun, Roberts and TAA bombing forward almost recklessly but still dropping points to teams who sat and soaked up that pressure and struck lucky on a set piece or whatever.
No one saw Salah in particular do what he did last year and maybe its an outlier and he's reverting to sort this year, still a fine footballer all the same.

Everton are now competitive at this level, i.e. they have a go and attack even though the Arsenal game in the emirates where they lost 2-1 and the defeat to Man U they were unlucky in certain aspects of the game but really need an out and out striker to really compete, but I think they're moving in the right direction and are easier on the eye than the stuff Sam was serving up.

Didn't realise Andre Gomes was only on loan, has he been that good all season?

He's only played the last few due to an injury hampering this start at Everton.

On loan with an option to buy if Barca don't decide to take him back.

He keeps playing like that he'll be back at Barca.

Bit more composure we could have got something

Form has gone out the window since the derby

[brokencrossbar1]

That derby loss has had some impact on you boys! 

[Geoff Tipps]

Embarrassing

[brokencrossbar1]

England's no 1 has conceded 12 in 4 games since the calamity in the derby. Most overrated keeper in the world. Averaging 2 goals nearly a game

In fairness he was good for us last season but yeah the hype on his performances last season didn't match what I was watching!! He has been pretty terrible all this season and not just since the Anfield gaff. He is just another in the long line of overrated England keepers since Seaman retired.
