Match report

Firstly *boilk*

Secondly how fitting that on the 125th anniversary of the club we pulled out a 1-0 to the Arsenal, a result so synonymous with the club.

Thirdly the game itself was nothing much to talk about. Everton came and not only parked the bus but turned the bus sideways, then got another bus, attached that bus to the existing bus and then added another bus before placing all the buses in a row well outside the white lines of the parking space.

My buddy, Ed and I continued our almost weekly dissection of Liverpool's weekend performance after a friendly game of indoor futsal. Now Ed is a guy with a rather thought provoking mind. While we were both thrilled that "The Beast" Andy Carroll opened his Premier League account this season with a brilliant derby goal, he remarked how Dirk Kuyt's excellent run and "dummy" duck created the room for Carroll to rifle the ball past Tim Howard.

Watched by Fabio Capello, who names his latest England squad on Sunday, Andy Carroll picked a good time to score his first goal of the season in the Premier League to see off a spirited challenge from Everton, who played for three-quarters of this eventful Merseyside derby with 10 men.

Thoughts turn today to Kenny Dalglish's last involvement in a Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. That was, of course, the famous 4-4 draw in the fifth round of the FA Cup in 1991. Less than 48 hours after the final whistle, Kenny was gone, the aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster finally taking its terrible toll.

Sylvain Distin has sung the praises of Luis Suarez, but the Frenchman does not fear the Liverpool striker as the Merseyside derby approaches.

Distin: Luis is like Aguero

Everton defender Sylvain Distin has compared Luis Suarez to some of the great Premier League strikers but feels the most obvious comparison is with Manchester City new boy Sergio Aguero.

Finally Kenny Dalglish have Steven Gerrard back and in time for Derby day! Couple that with the excellent showing of Andy Carroll against Wolves and the Reds are looking capable of beating Everton this Saturday. The right back position is now solid once more with Martin Kelly back from injury and though Carragher and Skrtel are still weak links in central defence, Everton's lack of bite upfront will suit Liverpool as they sought to make it back-to-back wins.

Everton defender Sylvain Distin has dismissed speculation concerning teammate Phil Jagielka, insisting that no move away from Goodison Park is imminent. Jagielka has recently been linked with a move to Premier League giants Arsenal, but Distin is confident that his fellow center back is happy in Liverpool.

When I learned that Everton Football Club would be paying D.C. United a visit earlier this year, I wasn't sure how to feel. The diehard Liverpool fan in me boiled with tribal pain, but from a club PR perspective I realized that this would be a unique opportunity for our fan base to see one of the most historic sides in English football.

Different opponent, same old story.

It would seem that it could perhaps get tiring to keep seeing and saying the same things, but given the results that have been produced more often than not, and what United are on the verge of, I'd have to say no.

A certain amount of good fortune is usually required when chasing any sort of championship, and Lady Luck came through for us yesterday afternoon after the excellent Tim Howard had done so well to keep United at bay and off the scoreboard for more than 80 minutes.

Big game today at the Emirates.

The passion in this picture is superb... It was always going to be a special moment when King Kenny stepped out for his first game back at Anfield. The fact that it was against the Bluenoses too only added to the excitement of the occasion, as his sole footsteps gave him an echoed soundtrack whilst he made his way up the stairs and out the tunnel, the Anfield faithful were anticipating the

Four points are all that stand between Liverpool and the relegation zone.All they could manage was a 2 -2 draw against Everton.The defence conceded two incredibly shambolic goals.Sylvain Distin was given the freedom of Stanley Park to nod home the equaliser less than a minute after Raul Meireles had scored a ripper from inside the box.

Kenny Dalglish believes the Liverpool supporters hold the key to turning around the club's fortunes and feels the players showed signs of returning to form in the 2-2 draw with Everton on Sunday.
The Scot was back in the Anfield dugout for the first time since his return and watched his side dominate the first half but only come in at the break one goal up thanks to Raul Meireles' strike.

LIVERPOOL, England Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish is still searching for a first victory since his return to Anfield and needed Dirk Kuyt's penalty to rescue a point in a 2-2 draw Sunday in the Merseyside derby with Everton in the Premier League.
