Everton v Liverpool match thread

[The Erectile Banana]

The three main positives from today:

Kuyt showed great character stepping up for both penalties and was generally good in the second half. Should be a big confidence booster for the lad.

Lucas looks like a class act.

Phil Neville got sent off.

[bigfooty]

Lucas is a bit lightweight but he has a better chance and looks more creative or likely to get a goal. Considering Momo spent most of the game in the final third of the pitch he just isn't needed alongside Mascher.

[carlton]

feel sorry for the Blues -that was hard luck-hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahah

can i say again that LUCAS looked very very good

Praise Parry...

We may have not played the best, but that celebration says it all. Carra Riise etc, thats what the result means

Yes!! Thought Carra was going to get himself sent off he was moaning at every decision that much

Get the **** in!!!!!

And take that Neville you manc C***!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes

Should have been a draw, feel sorry for Everton.

No, never

I am stunned by that. The result changes nothing in terms of my opinion of our standard of play and Rafa's decisions. However maybe, just maybe this will be the turning point for us to break this rut. Well played Kuyt.

Yes

[fah-q]

That's it for me. Rafa you are just not good enough. Goodbye. Thanks for the memories. That decision will haunt you.

How the hell have we managed this result

God only knows, Al, but I'll take it.

Everton were denied a clear penalty which makes it all the better to me because it rubs salt right in the wounds when I get into work on Monday!!!!

[FatTony]

I would not be unhappy if I never saw Momo in a red shirt again.

I don't think he's ever going to improve at this stage.

Rafa decided to purchase a player who cannot pass, dribble or shoot. He needs to take full blame for allowing this talentless footballer to wear one of the most famous football shirts in the world. Shocking.

[tomasjj]

Of course we won, but we shouldn't be in the position where we have to rely on two penalties. Rafa's decisions stink at times.

Yeah, I hear you. But I felt Lucas was good when he came on.
And I reckon Rafa was looking to tire them before trying to deliver the killing blow in the 2nd half. Nearly backfired on him though.

SG must be injured, if not I agree it is shocking to take him off and leave Momo on.

The tactics in the first half were shocking apart from the first 15 min too.

Now lets hope this gives us a boost.

?????????

I get quite emotional during a game

[Gazzla]

Sissoko in the worst performance a Liverpool player has ever managed during Rafa's reign.

Sissokos dire performance against Marsaille takes that honour by a country mile.

[Hollowman]

I am stunned by that. The result changes nothing in terms of my opinion of our standard of play and Rafa's decisions. However maybe, just maybe this will be the turning point for us to break this rut. Well played Kuyt.

[DeMenezes] Not like you've ever jumped the gun before. [/DeMenezes]

[bazza76]

Of course we won, but we shouldn't be in the position where we have to rely on two penalties. Rafa's decisions stink at times.

Rafa will say he had his eye on the next two games, and will probably rest Momo and Macherano, at the end of the day, Levia had a key part in winning the game, so it is hard to criticise the substitution too much.
Hopefully LEvia is now getting to grips with the English game.

Peter Reid looks well pissed off

[tomasjj]

Kuyt has nerves of steel.

He sure does, mate.
Mentally very strong.

[Imy]

bitter Blue arsehole Reid is now on...
