That's just a shitty Capital One Cup game that no one cares about though. I doubt the salt will flow.

I know that. But still, the timing of this COC game is quite humorous.
Yep. God we're going to lose 3 games in a row.
Mmmm. Whole beach up in the Gerrard feminine genitals.
Everton were better than us on Sunday. Brad Jones as keeper just doesn't work for us he doesn't know how to use his feet like Pepe. We gave away so much possession through long balls and couldn't get in position to win it back.
On Sunday I thought Sahin was the culprit but while he wasn't great, it was definitely Jones that crippled our passing the most. He can't play under pressure, against teams that push high up on the pitch.
When Coates came on and we played 3 at the back, we had the extra man to pass with and it made all the difference. We improved greatly in the second half, created better chances and should have won.
A draw was probably right on the balance of play, in the end I can't complain about a draw where I was quite certain before kick off there'd be a loss.
As for Gerrard, like all English players he talks a lot of shit.
Everton play like we did under Kenny when we had that great run of form at the end of 2010-2011 season. Force the ball forward, send in bodies and poach goals. It worked wonders for us and a very similar approach is working for Everton now.

I just read that Heynckes and Löw are nominated as coach of the year at that Ballon d'Or thing. Fucking lol. Why not nominate Magath, too?
Balotelli gets a nomination for 13 league goals and being an utter cock, I suppose.

No, for the two goals against Germany.
maybe OSRAM is a FIFA sponsor.

Löw's nomination is repulsive..
Gladbach is about to sign this guy:
17 year old wonderkid Joel Pohjanpalo scores a perfect hat-trick in under 3 mins (Continuous shot)

That video was posted here quite a long time ago, kinda wondered what happened to him. Good for him if Gladbach do sign him.

Zenit is interested in Leverkusen's Bernd Leno who apparently has Russian roots (I had no idea).

Hahah I didn't mean it that way. I meant that I remembered it from a long time ago, I believe Wooden posted it.
We should start trading players again!
With a clause that prevents them from playing against us in a CL final. -_-

Gerrard's quotes about Everton.
:lol
Liverpool do play better football than Everton I think, but Everton are alot more than a long ball team.
:lol
The BBC article has stats which shows Everton had more possession, made more passes, with more accuracy and lesser long ball %.

Awesome job he did there. And important goals as well, since they were down to one.
You're 69p.
Lol, some guy at a Dutch forum is trying to convince people that Lionel Messi is a pathetic diver and a worthless football player. I hope there once will be a day that people stop discussing about who's better, Ronaldo or Messi. So many pointless discussions from one fanboy to the other.
Yeah like I said we played way more long balls than usual and most of them came from Brad Jones.
And I agree with your assessment, we play better football on the whole but Everton isn't a bad footballing side. On Sunday they were certainly Stoke-like in their physicality though. I was popping blood vessels even more than usual every time Fellaini or Mirallas attacked one of ours.
I just hope the United players are overly confident too.
That's Newcastle's January transfer budget.
That could be fun
Just like SAF was against Ajax at Old Trafford last year.
@OptaJoe
Viva RT'd it and added a little "Uh-oh"Arsenal are shite. Koscielney can't defend, Vermaelen wants to score goals and ends up caught out of position all the time, Mertesacker sprinting is basically time standing still for everyone else. Santos is a five a side player and Gibbs is prone to errors
Ramsey can only pass sideways, Podolski can only run in straight lines, Giroud can't score, Chamakh can't play and Gervinho is Gervinho.
Shut down Cazorla and we'll win. Oh, and sprinkle a bit of crack in the away dressing dressing room to preoccupy Wilshere.
It's good. Like a lot of iOS games I played it non-stop for a couple of days and I'll probably never touch it again.
@OptaJoe
Let's see!
Arsenal's away form: 2W 2D 1L GF 6 GA 3
MU's home form: 3W 1L GF 13 GA 7

Juve's home/away form: 2W 500D 0L
If the two wins are Inter then I'm okay with that.
(we won 18 out of our last 20 games)

Yep. my place lost power last night at 9. I came into work this morning mostly so I could get my phone back to full charge. Wind is strong like a mother fucker and I'm on the edge of the storm.
Keep safe!

I'm more concerned about friends and family in the New England region. I have a lot of friends in New York City.
He'll end up signing a new contract.
I'll be surprised if Fergie isn't interested in him if he was to leave. Fergies been fond of him for years now.
Brad Jones is the second worst goalkeeper we have had in my time of watching Wednesday, even though it was only on loan. Absolutely abysmal. The only goalkeeper I've ever seen practicing punching the ball in a warm up rather than catching the fucking thing.
I haven't a clue how or why he's featuring for a Premiership football club. Maybe I've missed a portion of his career where he did well for Liverpool but the Everton game wasn't an example of it if I did.
He wants a move to Juve but Conte doesn't have any money left for buying strikers seen as he's bought all dem refs and Linesmen
^lol
Well, he was a Hodge signing and Liverpool were going to sell him last year but allowed him to stay because of his tragic personal circumstances. Then last year red cards for both Reina and Doni gave him a chance in the FA cup, where he wasn't awful and he stuck around again this year since Doni had his own personal problems that forced him back to Brazil.
However, speaking of Doni apparently it's just been announced that he is to return, so I doubt we'll be seeing too much more of Jones.
