There is no-one who has single-handedly won us more games - and important games at that- than Stevie Gerrard.

That for me is the problem. You don't generally become a good passer in your twenties if you've never been one in the first place. Same applies for a good first touch. IMO these are key issues for central midfield players at this level and simply Momo doesn't seem to have even the basics right. I'd go as far as to say that you can train pretty much anyone to run as many miles in a game as Momo does and therefore Momo's qualities are really not essential for a footballer at all. It's not as black and white as that obviously, but give me any of Lucas, Mascherano, Gerrard and Alonso any day over Sissoko. And I do mean any day (including Barca away or whatever).

Or.... if the player saves a shot with his hand, said player gets his hand chopped off and the attacking player can shoot from the same spot with the defender now one-armed?

I love you Rafa, but

True. For every sub there is 30 secs added on, I believe the same applies to goals and perhaps penalties as well. There is no way that the first incident warranted a penalty for Everton. No way. Agree about Kuyt's tackle.

He's a ruthless b*****d our Rafa and I love him Although what he sees in Sissoko I will never know

Allow me to make a case for sanity: If a player saves a shot on the goal line with his hand, he gets a red card and the other team get a penalty. There is nothing more to discuss. Very strange...

Clear as day that he was about to book Hibbert until Gerrard talked to him. Well done, Stevie the first post

How about Gerrard talking Clattenburg into giving Hibbert the red card? It was ridiculous really, as Clattenburg already had the yellow in his hand and swiftly put it back into his pocket after hearing what Stevie had to say. And wasn't Rafa speaking against this (players inluencing the referees' decisions) a few weeks back as well. I've no problems with this, mind.

It was 3 in which there was a penalty and we scored, so an added minute is a given. Thanks indeed Mr. Clattenburg!

Just seemed funny to me that after someone called Post Kuytal Glow posted: "He may not have done that much generally, but imagine the pressure involved in scoring two pens away to them....he could have sat on the 18 yard line on his a*** for 88 minutes for all I care. Score 2 pens to win the game away against them, and you are MOM" the next poster has Kuyt as both his first and second choice for MOTM.

Taking the whole match into consideration: 1) Yossi 2) Gerrard 3) Macherano Was a bit miffed by Rafa's substitutions as you can guess from above. Kuyt also has to be mentioned for the two penalties.

What's the point of Crouch if you're not gonna use him even in these situations?

Momo HE's so s***e it's unbeliavable.

Momo stays on and Stevie and Yossi come off?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Kuyt could have gone there.

Get Sissoko off NOW!

Riise FFS!

Peno!
