Everton 3 - 0 Liverpool

Well how wrong can you be? A fantastic performance by the boys in blue totally destroyed Liverpool with concise, threatening attack play, dogged defending, and a fair rub of the green for once.

In spite of the referee, as I predicted, trying to win the game single-handedly for Liverpool, we held on in the face of decision after decision against us, and took our chances when we could.

Andrew Johnson was the best player on the pitch by a long, long way and his two goals will turn him into a folk hero immediately. Liverpool's midfield kept the ball well, but until they pushed Steven Gerrard out to the right to take on the woeful Gary Naysmith, they never looked like creating anything. The one penalty decision went in our favour for once, but that didn't make up for the 30 or so free kicks the referee gave Liverpool. Anyway, I'd have taken 3-1 as well!

Oh joy.

Now, I think a certain amount of imbibing and celebrating is in order!


COME ON YOU BLUES!
