LFC vs Everton - post match reaction

[alunevans]

Won the game. People still moan when we win. Stupid

Yet if we moan when we lose people say its a knee jerk reaction.

When am I allowed to moan?

[alunevans]

Voronin had a shot on target right at the beginning.

I'm off to relax a little bit. Posting in here after matches can be taxing really.

on target as in made a save? i don't remember that. and it didn't show up on the half time stats.

No. People on here will know I've had a good moan over the past few weeks over tactics etc. However, people should give it a break when we win and have a moan the following day.

At the end of the day we started the season really well and were flying. Of late we've been playing poorly but still picked up results so that we're not too far off the top. Can't really ask for much more than that. Goals in the last minute against Villa, Spurs and now Everton certainly give me a bit of belief that we could be onto something this season.

We're missing Dagger too. When he got injured people were saying if we can make it through without dropping too many points then they'd be happy. That's what we've done.

Just enjoy the victory. Complain about tactics tomorrow

thought it'd be best pointing out concerns in the aftermath of victory so i wouldn't be attacked as a kneejerker.

I think some of us need to get a bit of realism here. When we thrashed a terrible Toulouse 4-0 followed by a demolishing a dreadful Derby 6-0 you'd have thought we were the best team on the planet and we were gonna win everything this season including the Grand National and the British Open!

After we'd drawn a few games we turned into the worst team we've ever had overnight and today we battled hard to overcome a deficit in the derby but you'd think we'd ****ing lost...

And we've got key players coming back into the side. We've won 4 out of 5 away games (drew the other). We'll get better the longer the season goes on. When we click up front we'll be awsome.

We will hit a serious run of form sooner rather than later and I'm glad that we have now suffered a bad patch but still remain unbeaten.

The first sensible post I've read all day...

Apart from my own of course!

If winning is all that matters then if we fail to win the league I presume you'll be calling for Rafa's head at the end of the season? Or will you find some other tired cliche to roll out, like "there's always next season" perhaps?

We haven't hit form yet but we are still unbeaten and have shown glimpses of what we can look forward to.
We'll see at the end of the season, we and Rafa we're lucky today but it's something we haven't had for a long time in the league.
We have so far clinched late goals 3 times this season to either rescue points or win games, 2 of which we didn't play particularly well in.
United have been doing that for about 15 seasons now.
It's something we all wanted to see happening when not playing well to still win games.

how many times have manure played gutter **** football and won? and then won the league?

weve ripped the **** wood from the team and put some utter quality in but there allowed no bedding in time?

IF YOU PLAY **** AND WIN YOUR GONNA WIN TITLES!

rafa took gera off and we one, whats to moan about? you could put all our mediocre intelligences together and we still wouldnt know half of what rafa knows.

enjoy it boys and girls

WE BEAT THOSE BITTER QUNTS AND NO.19 IS ON ITS WAY

They've done it this season - five 1-0 wins and their fans were slagging them off just like ours. Now, after a couple of big wins they're just behind Arsenal and their fans are ****ing ecstatic. It's a funny old game, as some old drunk with a big moustache used to say...

Well said!!

Before I get a few things off my chest I just want to say I'm over the moon that we won today!!


Right, I admit the performance wasn't great and haven't been for quite a while, but people should look at the position we're in. We're third with a game in hand, still unbeaten in the league and we hardly concede so I think we're doing pretty well imo.

My next point is that we started the game very well and for the first 20 minutes were much the better team, we were knocking the ball about well and attacking with pace, obviously after that we faded which is not so good. This is something that is happening in every game now, we start well but fade. As someone pointed out earlier the players confidence drops, this is something that needs to be addressed which is Rafa's job and he will sort it out.

However, In saying that I don't feel it's very fair for us to say that the team isn't playing attacking football when clearly we do start most games with impoteus and speed. When things don't start going the teams way (like today) and practicly every other match we play the players need to keep the belief and confidence rather than letting their heads drop which is what's brining the opposition back in to the game, again Rafa will sort this out.

Next point, Mohammed Sissoko is a good player, he's a battler, tracks back and does a lot of the dirty work very effectively. Yes his passing is shocking but I feel he gets slated way too much and doesn't deserve it. He was everywhere today, he covered a lot of ground, won ****loads of tackles, broke up a lot Evertons play and another thing I've noticed about him today is that he didn't just dive in recklessly. People forget that he is still a young guy and still has a lot to learn. It doesn't help players confidence when people are slating them every two seconds, we should be supporting them in difficult times instead of getting on their backs.

Also the other players who were being slated Voronin and Riise played good games today, Voronin did well to hold the ball up and play Stevie in for the run for the first goal. Some people must have missed that bit!!! He missed a few chances but he doesn't merit some of the abuse he received today, people were bummin him up until now so we shouldn't be too quick to judge.


Lastly, we sneaked the game today albeight with a little luck but isn't that the sign of a championship winning team???

Look at the way the players celebrated those goals today, Carragher's celebration, the way Stevie celebrated it sitting on the bench and also the way Rafa went over to the fans aswell at the final whistle. Something I've never seen him do before.

Let's not judge Rafa until the end of the season, keep some belief guys instead of criticising him, just let him do his job and do what we all should be doing and supporting the team.

We will hit a serious run of form sooner rather than later and I'm glad that we have now suffered a bad patch but still remain unbeaten.

we'll only know if this is our good patch, our bad patch, or our standard in a few months time. if this is our bad patch i'll stop my whinging. but its not predetermined.
