Scottish Red

Effectively seven defenders on the pitch for Liverpool.

 

Could it be that he employed the "small club mentality" tactics he was so dismissive of not so long ago?

 

"I am the Liverpool football club manager so I can only think about to win. It doesn't matter what they do. I never used those tactics at Valencia but sometimes I did with Extremadura." he said at the time.

 

Now he parks the bus.

It worked though didn't it?

Plus we're never going to win matches by going full throttle at the moment.

Even Liverpool fans would acknowledge that we were the better side today.

Without a doubt.

Everton played very well, and as predicted, we played very poorly. A slice of luck for the first goal but we'll take it.

That's a lovely pic at the top by the way.

Dreading it? We're in absolute cack at the minute. I'm petrified about this weekend, in fact, I've been petrified watching Liverpool for a while now.

I predict a draw, which would be another bad result for us.

Liverpool-Everton final please...

well, I had to put a positive spin on it.

Hiya Red long time no see, just looking at what you said, your squad does'nt seem to have the same belief in themselves this season, as in previous seasons, i think they realise they are never going to win the prem.

Gerrard and Torres especially are not the same players, Mascherano is pants and Carragher is getting a bit past it, he seems to get away with a penalty in every game now.

The player who couldnt get a game last season (Benayoun) has been the star player for you this season, so it shows you just how poor the rest have been.

 

Anyway welcome back mate.

Thanks.

Had the swine flu for a couple of weeks. It wasn't fun at all!

Anyway, Liverpool v Everton for Europa League final? :

Diouf should be banned either way. Nobody likes him for a reason.

It's bonkers really. A few defeats and our squad is awful - the same squad (minus Alonso) that thrashed Real Madrid and Man Utd last year.

Noel is Oasis isn't he? I have absolutely no clue (and never have had) what the other members are called....other than Liam obviously.

This. Noel was the only talented member of the group.

I just saw the Liverpool one....Luis Garcia is in the mix!!?! Someone in Sky is taking the mick there surely.

Andy Gray all the way!

(Don't worry, I didn't vote )

He should have got at least a fine although "imprisonment", as some people called for, was ridiculous as things like this DO happen every week. Still, let's be honest, he got away with it because he's a professional footballer.

Fergie is annoying me more than usual this year. His comments about Man City being a small club seem highly hypocritical when he criticised Rafa for saying even less (Rafa said Everton were a smaller club if you remember ).

Signing Michael Owen was as much to rub our noses in it as anything.

Preferably not but at the moment it looks like I'll be gunning for whatever "SOS" are not.

Favouratism!

Sporting has won it anyway.

Go on Barnsey

Xavier got my vote.

I'm not a massive fan of Arbie but he's our best choice for right back certainly.

Jagielka is the obvious choice but I don't remember seeing much of Lescott so can't comment too much there.

i thought this was a disgrace. just bin on redandwhitekop to see what the rs were sayin. cheeky bastards they are. most of them thinkin that it will be applauded by all everton fans. sayin '' the bitterness has gone too far'' i wouldnt stab them but god i do fuckin despise them.

I apologise for that.

Over on TIA we berate anyone who voices such sentiments.

Voted Xavier because surely reds have to stick together .

JD has this wrapped up it seems.

Definitely not Labour. Definitely not the Lib Dems. And as for the Tories, not if hell froze over.

It's really tough atm. SNP get my support but they've hardly been angels. I don't trust Alex Salmond.

We have a lot of scum supporting us at the minute , which is keeping good fans away .

 

Unfortunately , it's the same with all football clubs ; not just Everton .

 

The lads in the car have probably not been to the match , and more than likely watched it in the pub , but in either case , they deserve what ever they get .

 

I've been a victim of road rage myself , and can tell you it happens all the time .

 

The quicker the cane returns to schools , the National Service comes back , and the wait 'till your father get's home holds water once again the better .

 

Huge lack of respect and courtesy to fellow human beings in the world at the moment .

I agree that almost all clubs in the Prem have this sick minority now. When well behaved fans start drilling in what's right and wrong to these guys then things will improve. I always try to spread such a message on Liverpool forums. Anybody condoning such behaviour should be treated like what they are - children.

Karnivool.

The bomb.

City fans actually annoy me nearly as much as Manchester United fans.

I'm glad you stood up to them haha!

Completly agree... unfortunatly.

I think at the moment Everton (to an extent along with Villa) are the bridge between mid table and the top 4. Moyes is doing an excellent job but Everton just don't have the financial clout to compete with the top 4 for an extensive time. You did it a few years ago (break the top 4) but it'll take a hell of a job to keep you there. If you get a couple more top class players I could see you causing some real problems.
