Quote: Saddened! " Everton bossed the first half after Liverpool scored their goals. The telling contribution in the match was Suarez. But not for his assist, goal or the non-winner at the end, but his foul on Mirallas. He was having the better of Wisdom and had he stayed on I'd have fancied Everton to win. Frustrating for Everton today, the game was a week early for Fellaini to contribute much and the threat we had down the left was stopped when Mirallas departed. We didn't really create anything but half chances from crosses in the second half. So much inconsistency from the referees again, Pienaar was banned from this game for not touching the QPR player last week. Sterling in the first half, after being booked, kicks Baines in a very similar position and isn't sent off.'"
Pretty much spot on.....Mirallas stays on and Everton, in all likelihood, win, because he was running rings round that Wisdom, who was the dodgiest of some very dodgy defenders on display today.
Problem with the game today was that you get fans from both sides claiming if's and but's.....Liverpool rightly point to the disallowed goal, but similarly Everton can easily claim Suarez shouldn't have been there to apply the finish, because his fouls on Mirallas and Distin (both looked like deliberate attempts to take a player out of the game) were worthy of 2 yellows.
Sad thing is about Suarez is that he is a very, very good player, but he's just not a very nice individual....He's the old fashioned South American - great skill, but a horrible nasty streak. I think he would be sensational at a big club in Spain, because he would be more likely to get away with his more 'Latin' part of his game, which isn't looked upon kindly over here.
