Yay

Very fortunate goal, definately not masch's but it was only going about a foot wide jimja.

~Rebel~

I think Masch has been working on that a lot in training or something, where his shots used to be fairly wild, he usually keeps them hard and on target (not this time, but usually straight at the keeper) these days. Possibly seeing so many goals from the likes of Lamps and Scholes from distance with just this tack, as any touch and the keeper is wrong footed. I wish he wouldn't do it quite so often, but it is a method which will probably yield 6 or 7 goals a year - if he starts doing them just a little closer to goal.

Ahh jaysus, that was a tap in.

I'd say we'll see Saha soon. All their chances have been from set pieces nothing from open play yet.

mayordenis

doing what we did against man city, birmingham, lyon twice not playing after we got a goal

Kev_ps3

No wonder Everton are where they are, they couldnt hit a barn door:rolleyes:

~Rebel~

Johnson needing to play both CB and RB today...

mayordenis

Gerrard's not arsed take him off.

mike65

Frantic stuff. Hopefully all the Everton running will catch up with them

aye, not looking his normal self thus far...lot of half hearted runs and misplaced passes...

Maybe a good strong tackle from Felleini or cahill might warm his blood a bit..(que Gerrard being scythed in half and missing 3 months!)

Prufrock

How did he get caught offside there! He was looking across the line and all!

Thanx 4 The Fish

Three off there. Liverpool stepped up well there to leave Feilaini, Jo and a.n. other off.

SlickRic

that was f*cking close.

liverpool aren't playing at all.

as usual these days.

The amount of posts you've submitted, Mike, is incredible. You're gonna have to think of something special for your 50,000 mark

Xavi6

No daylight

Aidric

Everton really should be level here.

Frisbee

Never an offside for Jo

The other two were alright, but he looked level

Thanx 4 The Fish

You know the daylight things is rubbish dontcha Xabi. If any part of your body that can be used to score a goal is between the second last and last player then it can be called offside.

mike65

Gerrard might as well get off the pitch he's a hazard at times.

SlickRic

i feel sorry for n'gog.

as isolated as you could ever hope to be.

kenon

He was leaning offside. His feet were onside but his head and chest were offside.

mayordenis

What are ye on about he was clearly offside. No question.

monkey9

Liverpool have been muck, thus far!! Everton much the better side.

There's no way this is gonna stay 1-0

I used always quote the daylight thing as well, till some ref wrote an article about it explaining nowhere in the rules does it mention daylight. It cam efrom Andy Grey once stating that a directive had been given out in pre-season to give the benefit of the doubt to the attackers and only award offside if there was daylight. Since he said it, it spread like wildfire, but apparently no such directive was ever given out and the rule remains if any part of you is offside - you're offside.

A shame as, as a rule, I'd much prefer the benefit go to the attacker.

He earns a fair few quid. He is playing for one of the best teams in the world. He is probably thinking I feel sorry for those lads sitting at home watching on telly and commenting on a message board while I get a nice run around against one of my teams biggest rivals

SlickRic

gerrard get off the pitch.

you're doing f*ck all.

n'gog doing the work of 3 up there.

daithijjj

Liverpool playing very deep, its no wonder gerrard and ngog cant get in the game. Aurelio and kuyt have played most of the game in their own half.

~Rebel~

fantastic cross, decent header and fantastic save!

Thanx 4 The Fish

Great ball in there from Johnson and great save from Howard off a decent header from Insua.

kenon

Very strong hand from Howard to keep that out.

The Muppet

Good save from Howard.

ha, great minds T4TF

Prufrock

Both sides have been lacking quality. Everton look the better bet for the next goal but they've already missed a great chance so...

Also the tackles are flying in now! Great finish from Jo.

Andy Gray's a litle rascal

kenon

That was a clearer offside...

RasTa

FFS Liverpool just win this game

mayordenis

No daylight...

I read both posts and realised we said the same thing

What was Jo thinking standing so far off side there again?

monkey9

I'd wonder how fit Gerrard is

~Rebel~

wtf is Jo up to there? I'd imagine even if cahil had scored, it wouldn't have counted anyway as Jo was very very much interfering with play, what with blocking the keeper from moving and all.

Xavi6

No daylight
