205th Merseyside Derby Ended Up Draw

3 Feb 2007 Liverpool 0-0 Everton - EPL

BBC - Everton delivered an outstanding defensive display to earn a point against Liverpool at Anfield. - Liverpool dominated possession, with Craig Bellamy having an early goal ruled out for offside and Tim Howard saving well from Peter Crouch. But Everton had the best chance of the game after 59 minutes when Andrew Johnson shot straight at Pepe Reina as he looked certain to score. Crouch also wastefully shot straight at Howard as time ran out for Liverpool.

Alright, I'm not blaming them playing defensively. That's the only thing you can do playing a stronger team away! It's shame that we couldn't break their defense. It's rare to see players like Xabi and Kuyt getting pissed off in the game so much, but it just showed how much they wanted to win the derby though they are not even scousers. Stevie was a little over-excited, giving the ball away sometimes. Three strikers up front means little space for Stevie to go forward. And what a save for Reina! Oh dear, I would be sooooo gutted to see Andy Johnson scoring a goal against us again! Thank you so much Reina, you're the hero!

I also took a close look of Agger in this game. He was just brilliant! Calm, disciplined and went forward some time with decent long passes or strikes. And there was a brave tackle against..who? Andy Johnson or..whatever, turned out to be so important. He doesn't go down easily but once he does, it counts! Though I would still go for Jamie for his passion and the never-say-die attitude, Agger definitely has the quality to be on the top in the future!

Okay, next week will be the Toon! Liverpool would be so desperately to win to come to St.James Park! I'm waiting here for you lads! (Xabi will be suspended for 5 yellows. Erm....I'd better not to wear red shirt to go to St.James right? Especially I didn't get the seat for away fans...but a little scarf will be fine I reckon, huh?)
