Playing Everton Was Like Playing Stoke Says Gerrard

    Suprised this article hasn't got a mention here yet. Longer and shorter versions of it are everywhere....

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2225047/Steven-Gerrard-slams-Evertons-tactics.html

    Gerrard Says!

    "There was only one team who came into the derby trying to play football"

    yet the stats say Everton completed 100 more passes than Liverpool and delivered twice as many crosses, and had 59% possession!


    "Every time they get the ball at their goalkeeper, it comes in long".

    Yet the stats say Howard recorded a 59% pass completion rate, while Jones was just 38% – and Howard actually made more open play passes than Jones). They also say Liverpool hit 26 long balls!

    Gerrard also said "but you don’t expect your captain to dive like that.”

    I think someone needs to remind Gerrard that he is also Liverpool's captain and show him this....



    And here's his own booking for diving. Probably not the only one!

    stoke are one place below lfc and they also drew with them.

    so it looks like they can't beat stoke or us.

    They were trying to reduce us to playing like Stoke by intentionally hurting Mirallas so he had to come off and trying to hurt Distin so their "small team" could get in on goal.

    Looking at those two clips both bookings and if they were commited by us would have been a sending off but they were robbed.

    When you look back to rodwells sending off last season it's a joke.


    And they whine they get harsh decisions

    gerrard sounds like a spoilt little boy who has just realised that the boy next door has got a better bike than him. W4NKER

    Hmm More possession, more shots on and off target, better pass completion? When did stoke become so good because If we play like that every week with Pienaar and Gibson back then we will do just fine.

    That one on Mirallas could easily have broken his metatarsals, might have done even, 4-5 months min if it did !

    read the full quote and started to think it was some clever reverse psychology dig at his own manager who clearly thinks passing the ball sideaways to no effect is the way to play football, especially as gerrard can claim his more direct appraoch of lumping it into the box from illegally won setpieces was much more effective . but then i remembered he is too stupid for that.

    How is it that the FA didn.t view the TV footage and charge Suarez this morning?

    Hope all the refs will,though.

    Marked man?,you better believe it.

    Hope every ref decides'your a horrible c-unt,i'll give you nothing for the sh-it you've got away with'.

    Liverpool, Gerrard and Suarez are a complete embarrassment at the moment. For Gerrard to say what he has done and the stats to show he is completely wrong makes his look like a massive c**t.
