Great to see Everton marching on in the Cup today. Might be the only hope of silverware for Merseyside this season.
So yer going to win the FA Cup now as well...... :D
Im not an Everton fan and I never said they would win it, but lets face it, its the only chance of silverware for Merseyside this season. The Carling Cup is as good as being on Jose Mourinho's mantle-piece.Quote:

Next come ManUre to Goodison. Having been to Old Trafford at the weekend :rolleyes: I must say I am not overly confident off beating the scum. They beat Boro with ease with some very impressive performances. Fat Wayne is sure to get a good reception on his homecoming! :p
Of course he was well built with Everton..
I can't understand why a non Man Ure fan would go to Old Trafford when their team isn't even playing, especially a fan of a Liverpool club. :eek:Quote:

Sorry to remind you, but the last time the toffees ruled any roost, was in 1987. Btw, when did Everton last win the League Cup??Quote:

We may have lost at Southampton, but I believe you've had many similar results over the years, and relegation struggles too. You've been in a few "pits" before, haven't you?
I see the Press, so angry that they got it wrong last summer, are fuelling more false rumours that Stevie G would leave us. The latest rubbish, is that he was "househunting in Surrey" last week. It's no coincidence of course, that we were playing at Watford then. Every time we don't win, it's always the same. "Gerrard's off to Chelsea".
Steven Gerrard is on a long-term contract with LFC. He isn't going to leave before it ends, full stop. Yes, he's frustrated about our progress at the moment, but so is everyone connected with the club, but things will improve with time. It was interesting to hear a quote from Kenyon saying that Chelsea's purse strings "will have to be tightened", following their record financial losses. I think that's all the proof we need. Stevie is staying.
I was delighted when I heard the draw,knowing one of these scumbag teams will be gone before the quarter final stage but then I realised that utd will prob hammer the poor old toffees once again.Quote:

Fair enough. I went over there with a fellow manc and I'll be the first to admit it was low of me to sit in the North Stand watching the shower but at the end of the day I'm not just an Everton supporter- I'm a football supporter. Let's just say I was an a scouting mission ;) !Quote:

Hardly Giant Killers, they're a championship side just outside the playoff spots, and were playing against a predominantly reserve\U21 side. I would say most championship sides are better then premier reserve sides, thus Rafa's own goal. I certainly wasn't surprised that we lost, just dismayed. On a better note, we have just had a weekend off, and another one upcoming. We need it due to injuries.......so it might be a blessing in the long run. Smicer & Kewell are already on the way back :)Quote:

To be honest, I think Xavi Alonso is far more important to Liverpool than Gerrard is in the long-term. When Alonso plays, everything goes through him, he controls games and dictates things from deep. Gerrard? He's all action, maurading, does dramatic passes and long range shots. He's great when there's an Alonso to do control work, as he can attack which is his best attribute, but without an Alonso, he's not so great. He can't control games and dictate things, hasn't got the discipline cos he tries to do too much. Roy Keane showed this up at Anfield, and Gerrard hasn't played well since Alonso's injury if you ask me.
If we lose Gerrard, we'll get £30m+ (it'll probably be nearer £35m, Parry will fleece Chelsea 'cos he doesn't have to sell). Add that to the £20m that we usually spend during the summer, and you have £50m+ to rebuild the team. It won't be the end of the world if he leaves, and to be honest, I cannot see Gerrard having the same passion for Chelsea as he does for Liverpool. He might be there in person, but his heart will always remain at Anfield. Chelsea might not get what they pay for. It's all hypothetical of course.....I too believe that Gerrard is going nowhere ;)
Very impressed over all last night, Garcia is starting to play and Morientes looks class, even Baros is laying off the ball though I feel he needs a goal at the moment.
Awful goal to give away, in fairness to Traore there were 3 players and him at the far post, he didn't know who to mark.
Kiely kept the score respectable after that, some superb saves.
I think I prefer Igor in the centre instead of Dietmar. Last nights team seemed to be our strongest available 11.
Thoroughly deserved win and done playing some lovely stuff, support was excellent too, Charltons biggest gate in 27 years.
Yeah Liverpool were excellent last night, hopefully the same team will turn up on Saturday. Could be a turning point, they need to put a run of wins together now. Next month and a half is crucial
If Chelsea couldn't sign Scott Carson, they've no hope of signing Steven Gerrard. Chelsea don't need him, we do. Gerrard is our best player at the moment, by a mile. Even if the worst happened, and we had 60 million Euro to spend in the summer, what good is that when we have just lost our leader. Houllier had 200 million Euro to spend when he was in charge, and look where that got him....the sack!Quote:

Don't agree mypost, you're over-looking the fact that Houllier was an incompetent who played puke football. His masterplan was, sign players who are 6ft+ and well built, and barge his way to success. It worked a treat initially cos teams didn't know what hit them playing against a team of giants that defended deeply and used the likes of Owen on the break. Teams sussed this strategy eventually though. When it came to the art of management, i.e. signing the players to move you up to the top level and win you the major trophies, his incompetence was shown up. He wasted £20m on Diouf, Diao & Cheyrou (young players with no prem experience), instead of going out and spending it on Damian Duff , Steed Malbranque or Frank Lampard. All players that were available, what a plonker. He could have got Duff for £12m!Quote:

Garcia is up and down at the moment, but he will get better once he gets used to the physical side of English football. Already you can see as a manager Benitez is in a different class. Once he gets rid of the rest of Houlliers rubbish, you're going to see a very different Liverpool to the one at the moment. Patience my friend... ;) This man isn't going to waste much money, especially £50m if he was given that amount.
Regarding Carson\Gerrard scenario, you can't really compare at all. I actually agree with Conor74! :eek: :D
Thats a but like Pat Spillane's analogy of Ulster football. :DQuote:

The worst case scenario is Tranmere end up in the playoffs, and with only 3 other teams in that competition, a chance of Rovers' silverware would be very high indeed.Quote:

Yer playing Chelsea next, which will probably be more points dropped. By the time the merseyside derby comes around, there won't be much between the two i'd say. I still fully expect Liverpool to finish fourth, Everton are struggling more game by game. It'll come down to whether Liverpool can win away from home, which is our big problem.
On another note, Morientes is looking good......a few more signings like that and it'll make a big difference. I see Figo is looking to come to the premiership next season ;) I think Benitez should have a serious look at Richard Dunne as well, he's playing unbelievable stuff at the moment and would cost a fraction of what Ledley King would. Needs to replace Hyypia, who is really struggling these days.
5 points and closing,everton poxed another point yesterday but surely Chelski will be too strong for the journeymen at Goodison. :D I can't wait for the merseyside derby now. :cool:
Everton are grinding out results but its not stopping the gap being cut.
They are getting a lot of luck too lately.
It frustrates me that referees didn't see the handball against Norwich the other night and then again yesterday.
Both inside the box, both stonewall penalties, neither given.
They have been fortunate in lots of games this season, it has to end at some stage. Just pray that its soon. Maybe starting next Saturday.
Any of you Mersey heads recognise this cheeky little chappie..Dillo should appreciate this..
It's already been mentioned, it's Gerrards brother. Gerrard grew up as a Liverpool fan on the kop. True red, always has been.Quote:

I take it, that the fact you didn't win down there either is just as bad then, for a team that technically is ahead of us in the league.Quote:

Our next home league game is in 6 WEEKS, on Paddy's weekend at home to yous. And if we're ahead of you by then, hopefully you'll come out to play, instead of just lumping the ball out of your own box all day, like you normally do at our gaff. As you've only won 3 league games since the derby, and have to play the teams above you in your remaining games, those 5 points will be made up, no probs. You only have to predict the weekend when the inevitable happens, and we go above yous again. :)

SG has lost interest in playing for Liverpool. He knows he'll never fulfill his ambitions as a player while he stays there. Liverpool are playing rubbish football and struggled for long periods over a mediocre Fulham.
Liverpool FC 3-1 Fulham FCQuote:

Whether Kewell has lost interest in playing for Liverpool is debatable, but he won't be wearing Chelsea blue in a few months, and neither will Stevie G.
:ball:
just keepin this thread floatin :D :D
Saturday is big day for both Merseyside clubs.
Toffees have an early kick off (12:45) at home to Chelsea. The big guns are coming thick and fast with the mancs coming to town a week later :mad: . This is a mammoth task for Moyes' men but I firmly believe we will get a positive result. The same tie a few months ago saw Everton go down one goal to nil at the Bridge. However, the scoreline was a harsh reflection on the overall game as Everton created several chances and definitely deserved a point. It took an individual piece of brilliance from Robbenhood to decide the issue!
Dillo's verdict: Score draw ;)
Rafa's Red Army take on Birmingham at St. Andrews, k.o 3pm. While they have done well there in recent seasons, Birmingham are made of stern stuff as they showed last week in Old Trafford and I fully expect the Brummies to put it up to the scousers. Bruce's latest recruit Pandiani looks a promising prospect and let's hope he can secure all three points for Fat Head Bruce and co! Having said that I'd be satisfied if they hold the red sh!te to a draw. :rolleyes:
Dillo's verdict: Score draw :rolleyes:
2 points to seperate the merseyside teams come monday......
How is it that we have done well at Birmingham in recent seasons? :confused: Our record down there is one win and a defeat in 2 seasons since they got promoted. Before then, our last visit there ended in a a 0-0 FA Cup 3rd Round draw in 1995, and a 3-0 win for us in the league in November 1985. Tricky game for us, but we're on a roll and should get at least a draw.Quote:

Hopefully. :)Quote:

From a Liverpool perspective, that was a disgraceful performance again today. Especially considering that they knew Everton had lost going into the game. No passion or effort at all, with Gerrard one of the main culprits. Having watched that performance I can't say Liverpool deserve to qualify for the Champions League. People like Djimi Traore shouldn't be allowed near a reserve team shirt, never mind the Champions League.
Can't say much for Everton either who I thought were putrid again today. Apart from set-pieces, do Everton know how to play football at all? James Beattie..... :rolleyes:
