"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.

Kenny picked Carra as his MOTM.

[Shaggy]

Yep, couldn't help but think that was a little......what's the word, political? Maybe he genuinely thought he was our best player but I doubt it, I imagine he's just trying to boost his confidence and maybe stick two fingers up at his critics. He was pretty miffed the other day when asked about Jamie's below par performances.

[Craig_H]

When it comes to Carra, i think you've joined the arn side

[Shaggy]

I haven't ...I just don't think he should be given a free ride because of what he's done for LFC and shouldn't be exempt from being left out if he's not playing well. Kenny was really bristling the other day, which in a way is good to see cos it's good for Carra's confidence and he's hardly gonna slag him in public.

But I've long felt that Carra has made himself almost undroppable. From Rafa's days (although to be fair his place was hardly ever under threat back then), through to the cockney fella and now Kenny.

[Craig_H]

It's a fair concern. I'd put it to the back burner for the time being though because with Agger out and Coates still a novice (in context of english football), Carra practically IS undroppable at the moment

[Shaggy]

No I agree, I just didn't think he was MOM yesterday (although I think he was in my top 3 - which incidentally didn't include Lucas and having watched the game again, he should've been) and the stuff on the offal was OTT.

[Craig_H]

Off topic, but still finding it hard not to laugh at your signature

Just watched the corner Bellamy took and was getting pelted, a woman steward went to pick the bottle up at his feet and got hit with something herself on the side of the face/head, the next corner there not long after she was no-where to be seen

Everton Football Club have issued a public statement about the bottles and coins thrown at Craig Bellamy and Luis Suarez during the Merseyside derby at Goodison on Saturday.

"We are fully aware of the incidents which occurred during Saturday's derby game and are currently working with Merseyside police on collating and analysing all available CCTV footage of the incidents," said a club spokesperson.

"If we can identify any supporter who threw anything we will take immediate, firm and far-reaching action. This behaviour is totally unacceptable and will be rightly condemned by all right-thinking Evertonians and that is 99.9% of our fanbase."

Bloody hell! Think they'd be in for a surprise if they done a survey on that.

wrong thread.

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.

We certainly were edging it somewhat. I don't gt all the crap I read in the papers that they were "in the ascendancy". Around the time of the sending-off a statistic came up on screen saying we'd had 66% of the possession, so hardly shows us as somehow hanging on and being saved by the staggeringly over-rated Rodwell being sent off.

We beat them at Anfield not long ago when down to ten men for more than half the game. Like us they should have rolled up their sleeves and got on with it. The game just showed up their mediocrity for all to see

The Red Card gives Moyes an excuse to deflect attention from his dreadful record in Merseyside Derbies. Moyes has a massive 1 win in the last 10 Merseyside Derbies in the League and that was against Hodgson. That tells it's own story about how close (or not) the two teams actually are. 3 League wins and 11 losses in 18 Merseyside Derbies for Everton. A truly appalling record for the so called Moyesiah. Moyes has lost to us at Goodison 7 times in the League and won 3 league victories in the Derby. Moyes has never won at Anfield in 10 attempts. Everton are easy meat for Liverpool under Moyes. The results show this clearly. While Moyes remains at Everton, I expect more Everton failure in the Derby. Hail the Moyesiah! LOL
