After watch the game yesterday. It doesn't look so derby game. Everton was down one man. We didnt push very hard either. I agree we were very slow, but surprisingly everton also not pushing hard. After gerrard and belamy in, i see some fast pace passing one to one. But I just can't find it why our team doesn't preform like last season. During end of the season,  we are banging goals around, we are moving past pace.

Before anyone gets too emotional, this is purely my opinion on his lineup choice yesterday.

First of all, most of our players went to play for their country. Hernandez for example, arrived late on Thursday which would make him tire easily if he was to be named at the start of the match.

Secondly, there are more important matches. I am very sorry to say but, I don't think that Liverpool will challenge for the title this season. Top of the table clash with City(which has reinforced their team with very very good players) and UCL qualifications to knockout stages. Lets be frank, most of you lots would love to see Liverpool to play in UCL right? The revenue generated by being in the competition is quite rewarding. Hence, the importance of these 2 matches are being thought of. Not that I'm undermining Liverpool but your team will still need a lot of work to challenge for the title. Anyone can quote me on this, please feel free to do so. You do know I am talking sense. And I would say your team priorities would be getting back into the CL.

Third, I do think that Fergie would like avoid unnecessary injuries to the team. Clearly, he would need the services of the trio(Hernandez, Rooney and Nani) throughout the season. Yes, we do have a BIG squad which can cope but individual qualities do count at times. Especially, some of them could produce magic out of nowhere, good example would be Hernandez with his goal yesterday.

In conclusion, to say that he was scared is not really appropriate. He didn't want to take risks with his best players. Yeah, sure you could argue, where was Berbatov? That, you need to ask the old man himself. I am only speculating and these are my views as a fan.

Lol, read this comment on soccernet on the racism thingy:

we are man united, we do whatever we want! no approval needed heh

at anfield after away at chelsea 

i think we all would have to admit that there's almost no real loyalty in football these days, be it with players or fans. no players would love to stay with a trophy-less club, doesn't matter how big or how rich the history of the club are. histories are histories, it matters less in the present days.

and IMHO unless you're a Scouse or live in liverpool or have been there for quite some time, or somehow you have financial share in the club, there's very little reasons for you to support liverpool truthfully. and let's face it, most people from outside of england supports liverpool because they won many trophies in the past; don't tell me you'll support liverpool if it's a championship team. my points is there's every reason for anyone who supports liverpool now, not to support it later because the sees liverpool as not a winning team. and these 'outsiders liverpool fans' supports are as crucial as any other fans, because in these days, any big club would find it hard to sustain the financial needs of their club without a global fan support.
