Our Inferiority Complex

But I've always always really wanted us to put them to the sword and going for it big time for a 4/5 goal win. One that would really be remembered long long after. Still, I'm not (really) complaining but we've got to start believing in ourselves more when this happens.

1. Surely if you want to waste time you put the ball into the corner area where someone like Beckford will run to get hold of it and waste time.

2. Kicking it to return possession to the Shite - albeit a throw-in right on their goal-line - seems a "shorter" version of time-wasting.

Didn't make sense to me at the time, but I'm sure Cahill knew what he wanted to do; strange... but there you go, who cares now? The result was brilliant, the workrate was exemplary, the fans were fantastic AND the faces on Thug-G and Moaner-C were utterly priceless, let's have more of that blues, you made us proud......

You ask any of that shower the same thing and all they care about is the result and whatever it takes to get it. Do you think any of them cared that they were battered home and away last season, that they resorted to fouling us off the park and parking the bus in both games?

They didn't give one because they won both and they know alter on that their propaganda media machine can spin it to fool everyone into thinking they deserved it. Even Hodgson seems to have been at the Rafa school of how to do a press conference, if you don't win at least perpetuate the myth that Liverpool are and always will be latently superior. Sometimes its better not to read too much into who deserved it who played better blah blah. They certainly couldn't give one.

Put our high standards aside for one game and just take the good win and the 3 points. As much as I'd like to see us play them off the park at Anfield and win 5-0, if it turns out we defend the whole game get a scruffy offside handballed foul on the keeper goal in the 98th minute and win 1-0 then I wouldn't care.

I just don't think we had enough left to keep the tempo going and for the last 15 mins we had more chances than them with breakaways. From minutes 60-75 was probably our weakest part of the game.

Tougher game ahead next week, which will see us trying to play more possession and counter attack a very offensive Spurs side.

For the last 30 mins of the game we had NO midfield, Fellaini, Heitinga, Osman, Arteta, off the field, with Cahill playing on one leg for the last 15 min and Yakubu knackered, Peinaar, Rodwell, Saha and Anichebe unavailable, yet we still restricted an almost full strength Liverpool to long shots.

We still made better chances than Liverpool late on, how can anyone criticise Cahill for anything he did or attempted in this game when he was head and shoulders above anyone else on the field, possibly apart from Distin and Jagielka, is totally beyond me ? he epitomises everything an Everton player should be, committed, honest, strong and able to play above his god-given ability at will, in short a typical Aussie sportsman, but above all a REAL Everton player.
