POST MATCH COMMENTS - LIVERPOOL VS EVERTON

What Rafa Says..

"I'm really disappointed because we have seen one team that wanted to win, and one team that didn't want to lose. We tried to keep going, keep going forward, but it was really difficult because they were defending and playing counter attack."

"When you play against eight players behind the ball, narrow and deep, you cannot create many clear chances. You just keep trying. "

"It is how they want to win points, you cannot say anything about this."

"We were trying. When you play with the small clubs it is difficult, they play deep."

What Everton Says..

"It is disappointing to hear such an unnecessary comment at the conclusion of what was such a splendid local derby,"

"Of course, Mr Benitez is entitled to his opinion but I suspect he is in a minority of one in believing Everton is, in any respect, a small football club. "Somehow we just expect more of a Liverpool manager."

Everton were good value for the draw after producing a battling display at Anfield, and manager David Moyes was delighted with how his team handled the derby clash.

"It was a real team performance," said Moyes.
"Stubbsy [Alan Stubbs] was man of the match and I think that was quite right. We needed all his experience today.

"I must praise all the players today because we knew coming here was going to be a big job, the way Liverpool have been playing."
"We've played them twice now and not conceded, so credit to the defenders."

Louis' Comments..

I do agreed with Rafa Benitez to a certain extent. I believe Everton was too defensive in that game, moreover, I could understand why they did that. Away from home, coming to Anfield is always hard for them to play. Mr David Moyes was realistic to use such tactics. But, if you think it in another way, it's a derby. You can't possibily going for a draw in a derby. That's how I think.

What do you all think?

you'll never walk alone..

cheers.
