The OFFICIAL Liverpool Supporters thread

[pintsofguinness]

Get over yourselves and stop playing the victim. You'd swear ye were actually scousers.

Seriously, I've said before on here, the boys I work with would be mainly made up of liverpool, everton and utd fans, people who are actually from liverpool and manchester and there's only ever friendly banter, the only bullshit I hear is on this board.

I dont understand how GAA men can turn on each other over soccer.

Any word on Gerrard's injury?

Twinge in the hamstring they said. Game at the weekend but a break for two weeks after that so they may not risk him. Hard to tell this early.

Jaysus lads will ye relax!

This isn't a United v. Liverpool thing, its an idiots v. reasonable people thing. If ye think there's trolling going on here (and I agree that there is) then the exact same goes on on the United thread (apologies for assuming ye read it). That's all I'll say on it. Oiche mhaith.

Would rather Villa got to Goodison than Anfield in last 16.  Don't think Liverpool fans will bemoan their exit too much, but does seem to be at some cost tonight.

Stupid post, of course they will bemoan the result tonight, do you realise who they where playing???

Please read posts before replying so tersely, I bet on reflection the consensus will be that they could do without a long cup run when their aim and focus is clearly the league.

You don't seriously still think your going to be challenging for the league come the end of the season?

Night Seanie. Ach I'm probably just a bit grumpy tonight.

Believe it or not I can be a tad grumpy by times myself.  Don't worry about it. Still reckon Gerrard will be sound for the weekend so that might be good news for ya tomorrow.

Am really going now.

I have to say the young lad taking what seems like an enternity to dance a jig around Carragher, Skrtel, Arbeloa and Kuyt before curling it in was great to watch and all except Kuyt stood like hypnotised tree-trunks! 

[J70]

Honestly couldn't give a f**k about being out of the FA cup.

Happy with a loss then J70 in the merseyside derby are we??

Not happy, just indifferent. All that matters is the league.

And what if the league falls through and then the Champions League??  Another year without a trophy and the same boys will be moaning at the end of the season.  Its like a business, its better to have a large customer pool as opposed to a small one, ie stay in as many competitions as possible, increasing your chances of success.  Thats my view anyway

It would just be papering over the cracks. Personally I would take little satisfaction in an FA cup win if they finish well adrift of the league winners again. Most premier league teams could win the FA cup, given a favourable draw. The league is the only meaningful test and the benchmark that Liverpool under Benitez have yet to show they're anywhere near capable of reaching.

with the exception of the league cup I agree. The effort Alonso put in to win tonight shows how much beating Everton and staying in the cup meant to him. Fantastic player with bucketfuls of character.

Mountain of pressure on Torres for the remainder of the league campaign and the CL. Signing Keane from Spurs to take some of the responsibilty off the young Spaniards shoulders would be an idea if the transfer window wasnt shut

Strangely i don't feel anything after getting knocked out of the cup there.  A league defeat would feel much worse. Everton deserved it clearly, so good luck to them. 

[gawa316]

Have to say although disappointed by tonights result, the Cahill (****) goal at Anfield hurt me a hell of a lot more than tonight.

Don't get me wrong it would be great to be still in it but a free wkd here and there could help us.

Plus Lucas is suspended...happy days.

Am I the only one in thinking that little south african fecker should have been off?

[Hound]

Yeah pretty much everything went Everton's way on the night, they got the goal so deserved the win. I was far more disappointed when Cahill scored in the league.

Lucas - 1 match ban for 2 yellows, 9 match ban for gross stupidity
Proved again that even when he plays alright, he's a liability.

There's no way Gerrard will be 100% fit come Saturday and I doubt very much he'll risk him so, especially as if he doesnt play he likely won't have to go on international duty. Rooney is back fit and training but I wouldnt be surprised if he has a "recurrance" before the weekend to avoid playing for England.

Massive game on Saturday now, important for the likes of Kuyt and Yossi to really step up to the plate with Gerrard out.

[full back]

To be fair a lot of the posters here dont seem to mind being out out of the cup by their neighbours

What would be a lot more worrying from a scouse point of view would be the Torres/Gerrard situation.
The scousers cant afford to be without Stevie G for any games. Torres didnt look fit (perhaps after the clash in the first half) & he looked totally dis-interested when Gerrard went off.
Keane would have been a decent replacement for Gerrard, but then he doesnt suit Liverpool's style of play..

In Rafa we trust.........................
