The money quote of the entire thread.
Careful there son. Don't want to go down that road. You really don't.
We can look back at other matches or other derbies and say we deserved something out of it.
Not today. Not anywhere close. Liverpool deserved that win. They did what they had to do. We didn't.
Yes. In the 2nd half, it was pretty much all Liverpool. So much so that we ALL knew they'd get the 2nd after the Distin mistake. Every. Single. One. Of. Us.
It was predictable wasn't it?

Just got back...
...First off, minute of silence went well - other than one person who shouted something - but i think about a quarter of everton fans shushed him.
Jelavic goal was one of the best celebrations! Wasnt expecting him to score that to be honest, as in all the other matches when he has had similar chances he always goes wide!!
When we got to half time at 1-0 i was so confident, i thought Moyes was going to sort our players out - tell them to act like we are still at 0-0 and we need a goal. But we came out and just sat back, and had very few chances.
There are a few things im disappointed about, the fact Drenthe wasnt on the bench, the fact it took till the 86th minute (?) to bring on another striker. The thing im most disappointed about is the lack of balls we got into the box, and the lack of shots we had. From the crosses we did have, you saw the keeper struggled - he never really got a strong punch the entire game, and we never took advantage.
Gutted for Everton, and gutted for Distin - he isnt the first to do something like that, remember Jagielka Vs Aston Villa? To be honest i dont think that can be an excuse anyway - because at 1-1 we should have done much better too.
Oh and also, Coleman was silly giving away that freekick - and from where i was sitting it looked like he was lucky not to be booked again

Absolute and utter class.
I can't even imagine how disconsolate he was in the locker room.
I still love you buddy, you've had an immense season.

Well it's taken this to happen for me to make my first post...
A relative youngster in relation to the majority on this forum as I've only supported the club since 2007 but like most, I am absolutely distraught.
I walked around Melbourne for an hour to find a place that was showing the game and letting people in. Finally found a pub full of arrogant kopites and half a handful of Blues and nestled in.
Admittedly in the week preceding the game, I didn't share the optimism of some - Queue storylines "Worst liverpool team in years" "KD to be sacked if loses derby" "Everton in sublime form" "Moyes chance at cup glory in 10th year in charge" "Unbeaten with Gibson" - it just all seemed a bit fishy to me. How I wished I'd been wrong. I'd contemplated putting a few on the shi*e to soften the blow but I didn't have enough $0's at the end of my balance for this to be viable.
I can't bring myself to dissect the game, it hurts too much to think of the What if's.
When the whistle blew, I promptly grabbed my jacket and left the bar, on the way out shaking hands with a couple gracious kopites, and copping it from a few others, got in the 1st cab and headed home for a restless night, knowing it was only going to get worse in the morning.
I've been up for about 4 hours and have probably uttered as many words. I haven't had the energy to tell the story about the scouser I'd run into on the way to the bar who'd been drinking since 4am yesterday morning (kick off at 9:30pm) in the same pursuit as I was saying he'd literally kill someone if he didn't see the game or my trek around Melbourne city to find this place down a dark alley.
I support a lot of teams through a number of sports - being a kiwi I've put up with 20 years of heartbreak at the All Blacks being unable to bring home the World Cup until last year, but I don't think anything has hurt as much as this.
This is the worst hangover I've ever had...and I didn't even drink last night.

Still think Distin is our best player for the season he has made 1 mistake but after all he is human im not angry at him just disappointed with the tactics that was employed for the 2nd half sitting deep and trying to hang on should not be contemplated as a tactic we should of gone for them and kept pressing them like in the first half we had them by the proverbial balls and bottled it

This was our chance and I don't think I'll ever be as optimistic about us winning something like I was yesterday, at least not under moyes. This defeat signifies the end of an era and I feel sorry for Neville cos he has worked 10 times harder for everton than he did in his entire team at man utd and he has nothing to show for it.
We lack balls when we need them and we lack intelligence cos these days you need to work smarter rather than harder most of the times and you win. If moyes is that good then I'd like to see a firm approach for him just so we really know if other chairmen rate him at all.

FFS I can't sleep. I had cleared space at work to fly to London the week of the 5th and thought when we were 1-0 up I was actually going to get a chance to see us win something.
Its hard to say. All trophies have been pretty much a closed shop for the big spenders and now they pretty much take them all seriously now. Pompey has got an FA cup. Spurs and Boro have got a Carling and that is about it. We've shown up for big games under Moyes as the last final run we had under him we went through Man Utd, Villa and Liverpool. We've also been unlucky (Fiorentina, Villareal). Plus for a club that isn't Liverpool, Chelsea, Arse and Man Utd, finishing 4th is pretty much the equlivanent of winning something.
Granted there are some things that Moyes does that drives me mad (the way Ossie gets used for one, subs another), he's a very very good manager. His ablility to find good players under 6M is unrivaled in the prem. So is his ability to get the most out of players who for one reason or another couldn't cut it at other clubs.
This one hurts because we've played well all year with a lead. Even when we've been battered with a lead we've still managed to hold on in previous matches. I don't there is anything you can do as manager when one of your best players makes a mistake. [Actual conversation at the pub at halftime with a blue: Dude says: I would have started Jags today. Me: you can't bench Distin he's a rock and won't let us down]. Carroll was getting shots but Gerrard was neutralized by Fellani, Gibson and Suarez was getting frustated. I don't know what Drenthe did but it wouldn't suprise me if it was something so stupid that it warrented not being on the bench it wouldn't be very suprising.
