Everton. FA cup.

[Cardie]

Take both off Hawkins.

 

But he clearly wasn't doing that and you disagreed with THIS substitution, not an imaginary one.

[Cardie]

See Gerrards goal for the answers you seek.

 

So a miss isn't a miss if you've provided an assist before hand?

spoken like the true dirk supporter you claim to be

[theghost]

I hate to say this because I love him but Dirk has been really shit today.

[Mr T]

Dirk misses: Abuse

Torres misses better chance: *tumbleweed*

 

Great balance on this forum.

 

Honestly do you not get it?

 

Torres is given slack because he usually makes things happen or scores. Like in this game.

 

Dirk is groaned at because he usually cocks things up or doesn't score.

[TommyW]

i wish we were even a minor threat from corners

No. :whatever:

 

Jesus, if you can't see the difference there's no point going on. Besides the point, Torres's chance wasn't an easy one. Dirk's considerably moreso.

Only today?

[El Rojo]

We've put a huge amount of pointless high ball into the box today.

[Code]

We really could do without a replay.

Torres wasn't 'given slack' though, it just wasn't acknowledged.

[bossy]

dirk doesnt usually cock things up thats just being fucking obstinate about him.

Shame on you.

If you replace usually with sometimes I think you're close. But that doesnt address the problem of unbalance. Anyway, it's so obviously wrong I can't be arsed to argue, especially with Mr T.

[Mr T]

That's pretty implicit in it not being acknowledged.

[zigackly]

Have to say Thants, this blind support of Kuyt doesn't do him any favours. He has been shite recently, there's no hiding from it. If we had a decent option for the right I would say drop him for a few games. Maybe even though we haven't. He's completely out of form and confidence at the moment and even Yossi would offer more in my opinion.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Gone a bit flat. Ho hum.

[bossy]

Shame on you.

 

on me? ha!

[theghost]

Only today?

 

Been shit enough that I've taken notice, which takes some doing because I can usually see his finer qualities in spite of his stumbles and such.

[bossy]

its not blind support for dirk, its because he is not half as bad as many people make out.

[Ted]

Finer qualities? You mean all that running? Put me in a red shirt and pay me x amount a week and I'd run like that too.

[theghost]

It's not like you to simplify things in order to suit your argument, Ted. You surprise me.

Blind support? Did I say he's played well today? No. Did I single him out at half time? Yes.

He's not been good at all today but Babel was far worse. The Everton defence played very well and neither Torres, Dirk, Babel or Reina could penetrate it. We got lucky.

[2pak]

king of draws ... fuck this!

[Mendoza]

Didnt we buy Kuyt in the hope he'd score goals? That seems a strange concept now.
