Still grieving Snorky? Anyway, huge result for us this, gap is now 5 points but come this time next week it could be easily down to 2 or 3 points because I can't see us winning at the Emirates. Everton have Derby at home so that is a guaranteed three points for them. 4. Liverpool 62pts 5. Everton 57pts Liverpool Blackburn Rovers (H) Manchester City (H) Arsenal (A) Fulham (A) Birmingham City (A) Tottenham Hotspur (A) Everton Derby (H) Chelsea (H) Aston Villa (H) Newcastle (H) Birmingham (A) Arsenal (A) I'd say Everton are now only slight favourites for 4th place, I think we'll have a much clearer picture after our three games against Arsenal.

Fantastic result, by God we had to grind that out today, how on Earth did Lucas last 93mins today.

Gerrard off and Crouch on......come on ref, blow up!

Torres off and Pennant on......hold onto your seats! 3 mins added time and ANOTHER corner WASTED!

Torres booked for kicking the ball away, this is unbearable.

Crikey! Panic stations! Can't believe we've done this to ourselves, all Everton this half, we can't get hold of the ball!

Benayoun on and Babel off.

Again we've made this so difficult for ourselves, this game should be over, its still 1-0 and Everton have their tails up. Alonso and Lucas have struggled badly this half.

Don't like this at all.

Fantastic challenge by Sami but Rafa needs to make a change, its been Everton this half, cleverly putting pressure on our sitting midfielders and both are giving the ball away cheaply. Torres and Babel have not been in this 2nd half, thats worrying.

The tide is turning, Everton are coming back into this, the game is going down the same road we've seen this season at Anfield. 1-0 lead not converted to a victory.

Lucas and Alonso struggling badly this half, they are our weakness at the moment.

Its got that feeling, we've totally dominated, 1-0 lead is fully deserved and a very good performance but you just know all it is going to take is one fluky goal from them and all of that dominance goes out of the window. We need to score a 2nd and kill this game off, from this position if we don't win this game I will be immensely disappointed.

Gerrard hits the post!! So close and unlucky!

Too many times already in this game Alonso has been caught dallying on the ball.

What a miss by Babel this time! We should be at least 2-0 up, hope we don't rue these missed chances later on.

Kuyt should have scored from the corner and now has given away a silly free kick.

Both Carsley and now Neville on a yellow card. Think we need another goal, we've been dominant but only have one goal to show for it.

Carsley should have been booked, escaped there. Gerrard wide with a free kick.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Torres 1-0!

To be honest, I'd be more concerned about set plays. Everton are quite good at them and we need to be on our guard when we concede a free kick in and around our penalty area. Alonso and Lucas in particular need to treat carefully.

You'll soon join the dark side when you hear Gray babble on about how great Everton are for the next 90mins.

Shreeves asking a very obvious question shocker! What is wrong with journalists, what a stupid, pointless question to ask, are they trying to appeal themselves to the lowest common denominator in society or something?

Be interesting to see Sky's view on today's game.......
