I'll thank you not to quote my post and declare yous as being Liverpool.

Do you feel dirty now?

I made comments to similar to what some are saying now and I was shot down but that was about a game against Stoke not Everton.

I made a comment tonight but nobody really bothered about it.

Before I go on, I'll say this, Liverpool were unlucky in the end tonight and while there have been a lot of draws lately, this result is very rare, in that a team went behind to Liverpool and came back for a draw. Usually when Liverpool go ahead its game over, other than the two Athletico games iirc.

Anyways Benitez seems to me to have his team selection all wrong too often. He puts in one striker against the likes of Stoke and then two against Everton. It was clear early on tonight that it did not suit Liverpool, they would have chances but would run the risk of Everton scoring on the counter and Reina made a fantastic stop to deny that happening in the first half.

Also some guys are going on about Torres being greedy, well its natural for a strker to be greedy and even moreso when he is not seeing much action and wants to put a marker down to say he should be.

I blame Benitez again, I think Liverpool should have started with the 4-2-3-1 tonight, I'd expect them to beat Everton using that system. Anyways enough about it, they are not out of the PL race by any means but unless they get it together against the weaker clubs they can forget about it. Tonights results is not a bad result for Liverpool. It would not be a bad result for Manchester United or Chelsea or Villa or Arsenal either because Everton are a top team who are up there in the top six almost every season.
But there is no use beating United and then throwing them points away against the Stokes and Hulls.

Filthy Ciaran, Filthy. It'll be the sack cloth and ashes for me in the morning

Best manager on Merseyside? Has to be David Moyes. It’s incredible that Everton can even compete with Liverpool, given the gulf in their resources and the difference in the quality and size of their squads.

There’s often reason to question the tactics of Rafael Benítez, but, while you could argue that Moyes is cautious, you can’t deny that his game plans are effective.

Even with their injury problems, Everton are hard to beat and a side that opponents hate to play, perhaps more than any other in the division. So dogged, so organised, they get stuck in, make life uncomfortable and, in Mikel Arteta, have a player who can open you up; in Tim Cahill, one who can finish you off. Cahill, like Joleon Lescott and Phil Jagielka, is a former Championship player who has become a rock in the top flight.

taking off 45 million or so work of striking talent and leaving dirk kuyt on the pitch?

madness

some people are never happy.

Keane was shit and Torres is quite simply not fit enough to play 90mins, especially at Derby match intensity.

Cud have been the wide screen but He looked pretty chunky tonight.

We all know the importance of actual match fitness but Torres better sort this out soon.

We can't rely on Gerrard wonderstrikes on their own, more clear cut chances need to be created.

what about Robbie

Dropping points against irrelevant clubs always hurts.

I am mocking Liverpool for achieving far less than their resources allow, something of which an imbecile could not argue otherwise.

you think liverpool should be winning the league?

On a side note, now that Her Majesties Government own RBS, do you think they call in your loans?

dunno, but maybe if they do, we can both debate the merits of both clubs from a common frame of referance

And Liverpool know this better than anyone - dropping points at home to teams like Stoke and Fulham. They have no chance of winning the league, same old Liverpool - all hype and no bottle. Now at least we can concentrate on the big 2 fighting it out for the league (again).

Everton are a fantastic team with no resources - to think that the whole Everton team playing tonight cost £6m more than Robbie (60 mins) Keane shows what a joke Liverpool and Benitez are. People say you cant buy the Premiership and Liverpool are the prime examples of this. Take out Gerrard and they wouldnt even be in the top 4 - Go on the Toffees.

I am. You seem happy enough though. But then, those with little ambition are easily satisfied.

Please see my other posts. I have realistic ambitions based on the resources we are working with compared to the resources Liverpool are working with.

Only a fool would equate my happiness with little ambition.
