They may even lose to Derby their next match as Derby have been relegated and will probably play relaxed. We need to concentrate on winning the CL and this victory  will help alot.

Funny how we beat Everton and it only generates eleven pages.

Skertel - Has proved that he is indeed a good purchase. He only had 2 bad games since he came here (his 1st match and against manure). Judge him next season...He will be a colossus like vidic for us.

Lucas - Neat player. But he doesn't look like a world beater i thought he would be (with all the hype about him winning player of the year in brazil)

Torres - No comments needed. 1 chance 1 goal.... Can't imagine what will we do if he is injured...

The ugly -
PHILIP NEVILLE.....................     .........  Loved it when he grabbed the windbreaker when he was subbed.....

The key concerns for me were Babel, Lucas and Alonso.  Babel consistently makes poor decisions with the ball in the final third and he really should have scored from the Riise cross.  Lucas looks light weight and off the pace, with some sloppy distribution also marring his day.  Alonso also looked off the pace for a lot of the match...we definitely missed Masch in the middle.  Thankfully, Stevie was game for tracking back, even if it left Torres too isolated up top.

On the upside, the back four all played well and there was only one cross that Reina struggled with in a crowded box.  Skrtel, especially, looked well up for the blood and thunder of derby day.

I thought Carsley was lucky to stay on the pitch after that tackle on Torres.  Thankfully Fernando's okay and what a goal for us today!  Were it not for one Cristiano 'ever-so-slightly-better-than-Jermaine-Pennant' Ronaldo, he'd be getting fitted for the golden boot (metaphorically speaking) right now.

Positives were definately Hyppia and Skyrtel who in particular was excellent after last weeks dodgy performance against Man Utd. I like the way he's prepared to go forward on the odd occasion, in modern football centre halves do that to great effect. Most pleasing was the fact that he didn't get caught in the headlights ballwatching once today. Definately an encouraging display.

Riise was as good as he's been all season at left back, while Gerrard was at his very best and head and shoulders the best player on the pitch. Lucas flitted in and out, while to be totally honest I thought Kuyt had a good game on the right as well. He ought to have scored with the header in the first half but it did take him a bit by surprise, but he was unlucky with the blocked shot and the deflected one which went just wide. Good effort from the fella and he deserves the plaudits. It was mentioned earlier in the week that "if only some of the other players had Kuyt's workrate" and that applied to babel today who was infuriating. He has talent but jeez he keeps it well hidden sometimes and has much to learn.

The only slight disappointment for me was Alonso, but in truth he wasn't that bad. Everton though were absolutely awful, and it seems hard to comprehend that we are as close as we are to them in the table. I would think that'll make fourth just about a certainty now, it's just a shame that we find ourselves fourteen points off the top spot with the distinct possibility that the gap maybe even wider come the end of the season. Were we to perish in the Champions League then the questions visa-vis any progress this season will be entirely legitimate.
