This is one game that I'm expecting blood and gore, and it has not been a disappointment. Distin starts in the place of Senderos while the rest of the squad remains unchanged.
Throughout the 45 minutes, you'd see loads of full blooded jabs, dirty tugs , push whack, etc and you wonder whether this is a boxing match! Both sides showed that they are ready for the match and they are definitely not pulling their punches.
There're not many goal mouth action, but on the field, so many heart-stopping moments. Both sets of players really never gave each other much space, when one player has the ball, two and even three players would close him down.
The highlight of the match is the two footed tackles by Krygiakos and Felli. Both put in horrible, horrible tackles. But without the instant replay, I would have also only seen the Reds tackle. Thus, off the Reds defender! Felli did not return because he injured his shin. Arteta replaced Felli.
The first half ended with a sweet free kick from Gerrard which hits the post.
Second half was as fiesty and in the 54th minute, Kuyt scores with a header, all against the run of play. Liverpool 1-0 Everton. Why must this happen? We are a man up! Make use of the man.
Everton made two further changes in the 71st minute with Yak and Anichebe coming in for Saha and Ossie. Everton seemed to have lost all ideas on how to break Liverpool down.
It's always so true that the referee always want to even things out. Pienaar was sent off.
Forget this game. Forget about any bragging rights! :(
