2-1 and this is a true great result and the team stand up and show us the team we want to see - except for one player who probably care of himself more than the team. From the starting minutes with Stevie G's tackles we know there can only be one winner.
We are still suffered from the back luck on injuries, and Milan Baros just don't play as a team player. We may better sell him next season. Other than that every body performed well, and with such a mentality we can win each of the remaining games.
Player Rating:
Dudek: 7 Not much to do and have absolutely no chance in that goal.
Finnan: 7 A nice performance and was unfair to get a yellow due to time wasting ?!
Carragher: 9 Mr Liverpool. With no fear of whoever he's playing against.
Pellegrino: 7.5 Another superb performance and has as much heart as the local player. The critic should be silenced.
Warnock: 7 Whole-hearted performance but was unfortunate to be injuried. I just hope it's not too serious, and we need him.
Garcia: 8.5 He slienced the critics that he is light-weighted and he also shown his sense on scoring attempts. He also shown his willingness to fight for the team to stay on despite he's injuried. And he still has contributions to the team. Bravo!
Gerrard: 9 He played as if this is his last Merseryside derby, and after the game I just wish the game will change his mind. He is a local boy and winning for Liverpool is the ultimate goal - much much better than go to Real Madrid or Chelsea and win everything.
Hamann: 7 A much better performance but was unfortunate to be injuried.
Riise: 7 Started as left midfielder but was forced to play left back as Warnock injuried.
Morientes: 7.5 An excellent dipping shot from 40 yards that almost scored, but Martyn could not maintain his momentum and was forced to palm it away - but only to Garcia and he scored.
Baros: 4 If you do not want to commit to play for Liverpool. Go.
Substitutions:
Nunez: 7.5 His best performance so far. It was his pass to Garcia that lead to the free kick for the first goal.
Biscan: 7 He played a very well game, had a nice dribble but the shot was not on target. And the fans cheered when he beat up Osman's tackle in a midfield fight.
Smicer: 6.5 Still not in full fitness depsite having 1 or 2 telling passes in 2H. We need him to be back in form now as we don't have any strikers now.
Rafa: 9 Finally the players stand up and play well and he was as emotional as every fans was. Now he understands what a derby game means.
Everton: 5 The way they played is just a disgrace to football. But why do they remain to have 11 players and no injuries will be a question the referee need to explain. This match will knock down their confidence and they will finish 5th.
Man of the match: Carragher and Gerrard. The 2 scousers raised everybody in the team.
