I can't understand what people are going on about in this thread at all. I thought it was obvious that they tried to win the game. They were a bit shit if course, but remember they are Everton. They lost at home to Palace a few weeks back!
So you think they deliberatly managed a 3-2 scoreline?Deliberatly finished just within Harts reach for that great save after the break? That spanish fella deliberatly shot just past the post before full time? You're giving them far too much credit.
Feel absolutely gutted for our captain today. Nobody wants this title more than him, so undeserved that his mistake lost us such an important match. He could´t really cope with his mistake today, lost his head in the second half. Hope he gets it out of the system before the next match and that his mistake doesn´t prove as costly in the ends as it seems now.
A big concern for the coming matches is that our strikers are completly out of form. Suarez invisible today, Sturridge couldn't contribute anything. None of them has been great for a few weeks, but it's been hidden by Sterlings' excellence.
The players are letting themselves down now. We're far too impatient, we just need that one-goal. The mistake clearly has affected Gerrard, he's trying to do something special with every ball. Just pass the ball around a bit, we will get the chance.
I´m going mental, I have Gerrard speaking in my head all the time. He´s a quote-machine this season. Since Southampton I´ve been trying to end all my sentences with "all the best". Now I feel the urge to shout "This does not fuckin slip!" to everyone around me. Best to keep to myself.
What a fantastic player already, can´t believe he´s only 19. His finish for the first goal is so cool, to do that in those circumstances is amazing. Arguably the best player on the pitch today, surrounded by world stars bought for millions of pounds.
Lad´s got the potential to become one of the best players in the world in my opinion.
Have no idea how this will go. All I know is that it will be hours of pain before the match, and 90 minutes of intense emotion. So happy that we´re again in a position where we can play matches of such importance!
