Gutted, we really should have come away with something from that. We haven't won a match with that referee since 2005 and the constant Neville handballs waved away show why. But even with that tw@t referee in usual form, we should have got a second, Balotelli's chip was desperately unlucky to hit the post and he seems to have injured himself. Oh well, Dzeko in January hopefully and maybe then we can score off a corner too. Not the end of the world, just with how dominant we were we deserved something. These negative, cynical teams who park the bus we are having trouble with. Blackburn, Brum, Stoke, and now Everton.
I wouldn't even say they parked the bus in a traditional sense. I mean the fact is they scored 2 goals. Sure they took their chances and worked hard early on. so as they could afford the luxury of throwing everyone 6 yards from their own goal but the fact is, with a 2 goal lead, 10 men, away, in the cold... it was the right thing for Everton to do. We on the other hand... we were just plain hysterical!!! And the hits just keep on coming:link In mario's defence... I dont even think he knows who Lionel Messi is
Parking the Bus? Mate, I can understand you being pissed off that with all the cash you splashed you can't beat a team that costs less than what you pay Yaya a year, but that's just retarded. We countered you and went 2-0 up, we were forced by the ref to do what we did for the last half hour. The spell in the first half you probably would construe as parking the bus, not really, you couldnt even get a shot away. That whole passage of play came and went with Howard not making a single save.
Gee, it's too bad there wasn't a reply to post #12 eight hours earlier, only polite and without the fanboy spittle.....oh, nevermind.
Isn't Everton relegated already and don't you have a League Championship season to prepare for? Crap, the season is not over yet and Liverpool Jr is still a few points above relegation zone. I guess it's our fault for giving you the three points that could mean the difference in May.
he can start with not waving his arms like a damn brat every time he doesnt get the ball... watching super mario is so frustrating, you know he has the talent but you never know if he wants to perform.
