FACING ADVERSITY | Liverpool Football Club | 2011-12 | HD - YouTube

By the wonderful scene of a little blonde kid bouncing in/on his/her dads arms/shoulders. Lovely shot.

ok....i've sobered up now and come down a little from the win

no complaints in the sense that...we got the 3 points.

It was a typical derby - scrappy, chances at both ends (suarez header, cahill tipped over)

nothing to call imho between the two sides...so i'm flabbergasted at the suggestions from the everton fans that they were all over us until the sending off I'd say without even looking at stats that it was pretty even though we'd had the best clear cut chance with suarez header he should have scored.

The sending off...a few points on this....

firstly yeah it's very harsh - he has won the ball and the referee should come and explain his decision, which for me would be easy enough, he is behind rodwell 3 yards away so what he would have seen would have looked quite bad at that speed.

And the everton fans who called suarez a diver and a cheat....quite simple really...... stand still with a ball at your feet and i'll come sliding through hard but fair and win the ball....unfortantley my momentum will mean i'm going to catch you on the follow through...but not to worry because you will certainly stay on your feet and not flinch won't you

It's one thing that gets on my tits in the modern day. And it's usually from dickheads who have never kicked a ball in anger before. Just because it's not a foul it doesn't automatically mean that the player who has gone down has dived....it ****ing winds me up, prime example is when you see a defender make a clean tackle in the box and the attacker falls over - he hasn't dived, it's just the momentum, timing of tackle, loss of balance has meant it was impossible for him to stay on his feet.....It happens....the attacke doesn't even ask for a penalty.....but will then get called a diver all game

Anyway enough on that. It happened, it was harsh, but we've had a few harsh decisions going against us this season....and there is zero evidence anywhere to sugges that had Rodwell not been booked Everton would have won, which is what the bitter cunts believe For all anyone knows...rodwell might have stayed on and then they got beat 4-0 with a rodwell own goal

Anyway - the penalty - they can have zero complaints there....despite the hundreds of messages/status updates etc i've seen of everton accusing liverpool of paying the ref

Disappointed dirk didn't score, okish penalty but great save. Charlie Adam really unlucky with his shot from distance.

2nd half i felt we were always in control with the extra man, but was frustrated as I felt we didn't push and pressure them enough - certainly in midfield/defence - there seems to be a misunderstanding about who is going to chase the ball/close down quickly/challenge for loose balls which is frustrating...

Great subs by Kenny, he brought on the two players the game was screaming out for and was right to take off adam/downing.

Good move for the goal and made up carroll, who was nowhere near as good as last week against wolves, got his goal - funny how that happens for a striker.

Felt we sat back a little after that - although the players were probably quite comfortable at one nil, i certainly wasn't - But once we went and snuck the 2nd by suarez i just erupted...

Enrique for me impressed again at left back - carragher had a good game, that's his ideal type of match...hopefully we can kick on a bit - get a result against the mancs and i'd be pretty pleased with the start of the season overall.

Coming up....i'll post some of the blue baiting i did all day saturday

I agree except that all too often it's also said by ex-professionals and others whose illogical views don't merit the platform they're given. "If the ref doesn't give a foul then he should book the player for diving" - how many times have we all heard commentators and 'experts' say that?

Talking of illogical views, do Everton fans have any defence for the assault on Adam by Hibbert and the other fouls in the first half that Lee Dixon picked out in his 'analysis' on MOTD? Or are they pretending they didn't happen?

I haven't read the thread but I assume Dixon's half-baked conclusions have been discussed already.

[Maxiedge]

There was an 'ankle breaker' challenge from Fellaini on Lucas too.

Thought we were dire in the first half but improved in the second. Still have to say we're not firing on all cylinders and, at the moment, I wouldn't start with Carroll and would play Gerrard behind Suarez. Not to say Carroll still wouldn't have a big part to play with 20-30 mins left.

[Roboklopp]

One of my FB mates (a Scummer) responded to me pointing out those other tackles by saying "yeah but they wouldnt have been wound up if Rodwell hadnt been sent off." I said "Of course they would, it's their Cup final" & theyre always getting sent off. Never got a response to that though.

[Exiled_red]

True the game was more even when it was 11 v 11, and the red card was very harsh IMO, but I thought we were edging it then anyway, in some ways them having a player sent off didn't help us, as we struggle to break teams down, and after going down to 10 that was obviously what they were going to do.

The whole calling Suarez a cheat is bollocks there was contact after Rodwell got the ball, One of my BS mates was saying Suarez dived for the penalty

The referee didn't have a great game, the sending off of Rodwell was obviously wrong, but he also missed some bad challenges by Everton players, the Hibbert one on Adam was at least a yellow (wasn't evern called as a foul), and Fellaini had a bad one on someone that he got away with. So saying the ref was biased to us is nonesense and typical bitterness from the Everton fans.

[BootRoom]

I have to agree.

Only goal scoring chances Bitters had yesterday came from his defensive errors.

In the first half, before the red card, Cahill's header and in the second half Saha's long range shot.

Worryingly we've got this nonsense on the official site now: http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/lates...arra-v-everton

I don't think anybody is going to get a fair crack of the whip while Carragher is about.

[Shaggy]

"Heroic"?

**** me, sounds like propaganda.

He definitely had a good game and was much improved, but he still had a few worrying moments and that was far from a "heroic" performance.

[rodo]

thought skirtel had a better game

I think I made the point in the match thread that Rodwell may not have deserved to go for that challenge, but he'd been building up a head of steam prior to it and was becoming a loose cannon. If he hadn't gone for that, it'd only be a matter of time before he did go. Poor management of a lad who was clearly overly pumped up for the occasion.
