There's no doubting that Liverpool will be a greater force next season. Xabi Alonso is a class act and could prove to be one of Liverpool's all time greats. However this season is all about Everton and David Moyes. It has been a real fairytale- a team doomed for relegation now on the brink of playing in the Champions League. It's essential we beat Brummies on Saturday- the win against ManUre will count for nothing otherwise (slight exaggeration there maybe!)
How passionate do Mersyside derby's get....have heard they are not bad in terms of violence/abuse which am glad to hear! Are there Liverpool/Everton pubs? Certain parts of the city for certaint teams? or jsut family alligance?

822 posts on Longford Towns back four-this place is insane! :D :ball:
Well Benitez really messed up with his team selection today. This was a must win game, especially with Everton dropping points again as expected. Yet he goes into the game with Alonso 'rested'!? Not only that, but he starts the unbelievably useless and inexperienced John Welsh ahead of Biscan, starts with the inexperienced Le Tallec and also leaves Riise out. He also plays with 3 at the back, which has been disasterous for us in every game that he has tried it in the premiership. To really put the icing on the cake, he replaces the injured Baros with Darran fcuking Potter! A rookie midfielder for a senior striker? :confused:
As far as I can see, Benitez hasn't a bulls notion when it comes to the premiership. He just hasn't learned his lesson regarding his team selections and tactics away from home. How in gods name do you go into such an important game fielding such poor inexperienced players as mentioned above? Not by force, but by choice :mad: What did he expect against a physical side battling for their lives in their own patch? His team selection and tactics were incredibly nieve today, really, really stupid. So much so that he has cost the club a CL place next season. It beggers belief when you compare it to his tactics in europe......At this stage of the season the team should be pushing on and throwing caution to the wind. This resting players is a load of ********, especially ones that are fresh and fit to play.
From March
The same applies to the manager. He comes from a country where the type of game is so different to England. He prefers European games, which suit his selection and tactics. He constantly says it's important we finish 4th, then he rests key players for a crucial league game. What planet is he on? :mad:Quote:

Just like to remind the Toffees, that 4th only gets you into the CL qualifiers, and as yous can barely win any game at the moment, you'll lose the qualifier. Next season we'll be back in, and normal service will be resumed.
If Shels face Everton in the qualifier, Shels will be favourites to progress as they are the better side with the better players, up against a bunch of journeymen who can't play football. Ollie will be praying to get them in the third round. Everton will be the easiest draw for their CL opponents.
why do liverpool fans keep up the same thing a "bunch of journey men playing boring football" !!!!!!. have you seen liverpool play a game in the last 5 years they are rubbish constent long balls (sorry ye call them "long passes" when other teams do it its a long ball) :DQuote:

wouldnt see ye celebrating 4th mmmmmmm think ye would be delighted with it other wise this tread wouldnt be so long and full of pool fans telling us how they are going to catch us .
You obviously haven't watched many Liverpool games in 5 years, have you? Or is your view based on our semis against Barcelona? Probably.Quote:

Everton are already struggling for points, are already on the slide, and in a false position. Whereas we've got a load of cash from the CL run. So next season will really separate the men from the Moyes!!

plus if ye can get to the champs league ( it would have been impressive if ye had scored ) imagine what we can do considering we are better than liverpool over a full season ( to explain it to you we are better because we got more points over the full season which is how you judge who is better )
lol! :pQuote:

We Shall Not Be Moved, We Shall Not, We Shall Not Be Moved ...cause We're Goin To Win The European Cup (again) And We Shall Not Be Moved...
:D
Everton's formation: 10-0-0. Very creative and attack minded! :rolleyes:
The Pool will win the Champions League, Everton will finish 4th, both will get in to next seasons CL, Uefa will create a place for the winners to defend their crown Arsenal, Man Utd, Everton will all have to qualify. Pool + Chelski straight in. I hope your prepared for it Toffees, you don't have the squad to cope with Europe + domestic competitions....................Look what happened to Ipswich in 2002 after gaining a Uefa Cup spot in 2001, they were relagated,Quote:

eh.............also Everton is like a yo-yo this year chasing Europe, next year fighting relagation..........Look at the past few years......Watch this space.
ye still cant give everton any credit can ye that will allways be the difference between the two sets of fans , im happy liverpool are in the final and i hope they will win it , which will be great for the english game which is the most important thing 5 clubs in the champs league !!.
everton will struggle in the champs league on there first attempt but if you look at our results against the other top 4 clubs in england , we lost 1 nil to chelsea , we beat liverpool, we took 4 points of utd got a hiding from arsenal allright .
with 30 mill to spend even if we dont get 4th up to 50 if we do . and with players like emre and appaih & davies allready in talks with us for a move in the summer i think we will do better than most expect us to do . but continue to right us off we prefere proving ye wrong as we did this year .
by the way out of the 3 years moyes has been in charge we have had 2 top 7 finishes .

can you explain what you mean here , when its clear we are a better team than ye hence being ahead of ye in the league thats the way things work :rolleyes:
we are better than the pool utd are better than us and on & on
Well done to Everton on getting 4th.I'm a Liverpool fan and like most people didn't think you'd last up there and we'd come good but it hasn't worked out that way.You were more consistent and being 6 points ahead of us you can't argue with that.Only for the Champions League final it'd be a terrible season for us.Roll on May 25 in Istanbul when Liverpool have their chance to rescue the season.
Fair play to Everton, they deserved it over the season espeically with the 'Pool being so brutal away from home :mad:
Anyway well done to them but the big test will be to see how they fair next season, I doubt whether they can keep that effort up 2 seasons running.
it depends on who we buy but having champs legue football will give huge pulling power to everton
we are allready in talks with emre ( inter) and appiah (juve) plus robbie keane is making a move most likely to everton ( his house in london is up for sale ) :D
if everton can get a good left back and a left winger they should do ok .
gotta love moyes's comment yesterday about being the best team in the city ! :D :p
They haven't qualified yet.....Quote:

From a Liverpool perspective, non-qualification for the CL next year could be a blessing in disguise as we don't have the squad to do both at the moment. Liverpool have made enough money from this years campaign already to compensate for missing out. I'd like to see a squad revamp of about 8 players and full concentration on challenging for the title.
Those players you've mentioned above anto don't impress me at all. If they're the kind of players yer buying, this is the peak of yer powers I'm afraid. CL football will give ye more pulling power, it won't give ye huge pulling power. Everton aren't an established european club. You haven't even qualified for it properly yet. Will Everton even be seeded in the qualifiers? I doubt it, which means ye are going to have to face a seeded side from the stronger leagues such as Spain, Italy, Germany, Holland etc. Europe is a completely different ball game.Quote:

Do you know what would be hilarious though? A big spending spree in the summer, followed by defeat in the qualifiers :D
A. Why is he manager of the season? He didn't win fourth spot, Liverpool threw it away. It was handed to him. Allardyce's achievements at Bolton were more credible.Quote:

C. Everton aren't an established European Club. The fact that they've qualified for the CL qualifiers, shows how far the competition has sunk in the last few years. Everton aren't good enough for the CL or even the UEFA Cup. Next season, they'll be back in their box in the bottom half of the league, after comprehensively losing the qualifier, never to darken the door of the CL again. The top 4 this season in England were Chelsea, Arsenal, Ushyted, and a pub side!!
Fair play to Everton they did the impossible and finished fourth and now have a chance of CL football next year.Dreams do come true.

liverpool didnt trow it away everton won 4th spot fair and square stop being such bad loosers . liverpool got 4th with only 60 points ,this year they can only get 58 points everton have 61 with 2 games left !!
if us qualifing has shown how much the comp has sunk at least its a step up from liverpool qualifing with only 60 points .
of the 3 years moyes has been in charge we have had 2 top 7 finishes .
of coarse moyes has to get manager of the season
roll on next season if liverpool can get to the final then by all lodgic so can everton considering we are the best team in the city . and the best team in england outside the big 3 ! :p
You don't get it do you? He is manager of the season because he has brought a team of donkeys and rooters to Champions League qualification. That has to be commended. Everton have one decent player, Tim Cahill. Great signing by Moyes. Great 'keeper in Martyn. But aside from those, the rest are sh1te. So that is why it's such a great achievement. Look at anto1208 on here if you don't realise it, he can't believe his luck!Quote:

Big Sam at Bolton has done very well too. However, if you look at both squads, I think Bolton have better players than Everton man for man. Plus Boltons style of football is pretty route 1, and after years of enduring Houllier I can't bring myself to commend anything to do with that kind of crap anymore.
Take a chill pill mypost, cos the players Benitez will bring to Anfield in the summer will have Everton fans choking on their toffees. The Jaoquin rumour seems to be gathering some pace I see........ ;)
The fact that Liverpool handed his pub side 4th, doesn't make him manager of the season. This is a manager who's side loses to the likes of Blackburn, West Brom, and Fulham, amongst others. Managers of the season don't lose so many league games, and get away with it. The manager of the season is always the one who wins the league.Quote:

As you haven't done that, Liverpool are still the best team in the city.Quote:

Everton on the other hand......are you seriously trying to tell us that the likes of Lee Carsley, Alan Stubbs, Duncan Ferguson, Marcus Bent, Kevin Kilbane, Pistone are capable of winning the European Cup?! :p Remove your head from your arse FFS! As good as Evertons achievement is, Liverpool still operate on a different planet to them. Ye'll be looking up at the 'Pool again next season, and from a distance.Quote:

Spurs, Boro and Newcastle is who you should be measuring Evertons achievements against - clubs who spend loads of money, on crap players, yet never win anything, and have an honours list that you could write on a beer mat.
Come back to us when Everton actually achieve something worth while, like getting to a major final. Just getting to one would be a huge thing, ye wouldn't even have to win it....... :rolleyes:
