Stats highlight Everton's derby edge
Blues passing shows who really played the football
Steven Gerrard may be trying his best to claim that Liverpool were the better side in Sunday's 219th Merseyside derby, but the statistics from the game disprove the Reds captain's ridiculous assertion that Everton are a "long ball" team.Still smarting from the late 'goal' that would have handed Brendan Rodgers' team an undeserved win but was chalked off by the officials, Gerrard tried to draw comparisons with Stoke City's direct and physical approach.
"There was only one team who came into the derby trying to play football," Gerrard bleated. "Everton are effective because they have some big physical lads in the team and are very direct.
Everton are not better than us. I thought we stood up to a team that are very similar to Stoke. Every single time they got the ball to their goalkeeper it came in long. We had a young, small team and they were all men and stood together. We deserved the win."
The match stats paint a different picture, though. Everton attempted 478 passes to their 357, made over a hundred accurate passes more than the Reds (359 to 257) and delivered twice as many crosses into the box, creating more chances, and forced Liverpool into more tackles.
Most salient, though: the Blues' long-ball total was 14% compared with Liverpool's 17%.
Liverpool also made almost three times as many backpasses as Everton, and Tim Howard recorded a 59% pass completion rate, while Keeper Jones had just 38% — and Howard made more open play passes than his rival.
Everton successfully completed 100 of 154 attempted passes in Liverpool's final third, with Liverpool completing 63 of their 103 attempted passes in Everton's final third.
As if that wasn't enough, Gerrard opened himself up to further ridicule with his complaints at Phil Neville's ill-advised dive to try and win a free kick late in the first half.
A video compilation of just some of Gerrard's simulation antics for club and country — not to mention Luis Suarez's disgusting behaviour in recent weeks — should be enough evidence to persuade the midfielder that people in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones.

Does it not matter that Everton got screwed last season with a blatant Ratboy dive and a bad refereeing call that gave Rodwell an undeserved Red card and cost Everton the game? He really is showing his true colours now as a spoilt kid who is taking his ball and going home to Mummy.
What an asshole.

Accusation of being a 'long-ball, physical team' is what Fergie said when we beat the Mancs as I remember. We must be getting under their skin, excellent.
5 Posted 30/10/2012 at 13:11:01
"The statistics, however, showed that Everton enjoyed greater possession, made more passes and completed proportionally fewer long passes than Liverpool."
I hope he reads it and looks at their in depth break down of the stats because if he does he will feel pretty foolish — and this was an Everton team not even playing that well.

They use to call us bitter blues but the OPTA stats don't lie, the table doesn't lie.... so who's bitter now?? Only Mr Steven Gerrad, he must cry himself to sleep these days and his only pleasure is to make jealous cheap insults.

A point was all we got from the game, all our focus should be on the next match against Fulham, a war of words with the Kopites over last Sunday's game doesn't help our cause.
10 Posted 30/10/2012 at 13:32:04
Anyone who watched the match knows he's talking complete bollocks.

A war of words may not help our cause but it's fun.

All-in-all, I thought a draw was a fair result; our domination should have won us the game, but they probably shouldn't have had that goal disallowed (definitely not for offside, there looked to be a foul on Jags but apparently that wasn't picked up).
But what I am hating is the redshite fans & players saying they were robbed, when they have had the rub of the green in just about every derby for the last 700 years! They obviously can't remember last season when the most influential player on the pitch was sent off for a perfect tackle.
14 Posted 30/10/2012 at 13:55:44
'As a Liverpool fan I have to say he is talking nonsense. Like West Brom earlier this season they were direct but not in a Stoke way, they had great movement and individual skill amd there was always a passing option. More of a Real Madrid lite. Our pressing game wasn't up to scratch and at times we were awfully static in attack in contrast'.

The blessing and curse of a star player is that they're great, but tough to sell because the fans love them so much. If they had sold Gerrard 2-3 years ago they could've gotten 50+m for the cretin. Now he'll retire a loser and they'll receive nothing for him. Their owners have a lot of money to reinvest in their baseball team and that Liverpool side we're seeing must be the worst they've put out in a long, long time. Long die the reds!
He's no idiot, he can see the writing on the wall. If I were him I'd be pissed too :)

I have to admit that I have been saying for the past three years that they were the worst Liverpool team I have seen in my 40 years of watching football and yet they keep on coming back season after season and proving me wrong.
Long may the decline last.
26 Posted 30/10/2012 at 15:21:45
I'm loving it
27 Posted 30/10/2012 at 14:54:44
I absolutely fucking LOVE reading anything along the lines of "We're better than Everton" or "We deserved to win" or "They played like Stoke".
Remember, it was not too long ago that we were a 'small team' and "United is now our derby' etc blah.
Well they're now so far from winning a title, that WE finish above them.
Everton ffs!
Basically all this Gerrard stuff is nothing but good old-fashioned, childish, frustrated venting.
He knows we've had to watch every penny and they have spent like drunken sailors over the past 10 years.
And for what - For them to finish below...us?
No wonder he's fuming (and don't forget, we played some shite football last year).
It is also imo wonderful that Liverpool FC these days, is basically everything Bill Shankly was against.
This is Anfield?
Er...I don't think it is.
I think it is NOT a hot-bed of local Liverpool support anymore, but a place for football tourists to go to get a few snaps (saw some of their Europa game on telly last week, every time they got a throw-in, you saw 23 girls from Singapore get their mobiles out).
Also (well done Sourpuss!) the hidden secrets of the boot-room are gone, only to be replaced by one of the most toe-curling, cringe-worthy 'documentaries' ever seen.
Add to that players who cheat and support a PROVEN racist.
Plus revisionist 'supporters' who only see in their history what suits them and are blind to whatever doesn't - I personally can't get enough of it.
Shooting themselves in the foot, on and off the pitch, has it appears now become routine
Remember, when you can't affect teams and are no threat to them, you get the patronising pat on the head.
As soon as you start to ruffle their feathers, you get the narked responses of the type we've had this season from 'Stevie G lar' and Sir Alex Whisky-Nose.
Believe me, as long as 'Stevie G lar' is upset with Everton, we're doing something right.

30 Posted 30/10/2012 at 15:34:01
The bottom line is they know we're a better side, had we had Gibson and Pienaar and a match fit Fellaini on the pitch I think we would've walked all over them to be honest.
This is just a cheap attempt to take the focus away from their display and get people to question why were doing so well this season, rather than why they're doing so badly.
The sad thing is you'll now have clueless fans up and down the country who'll chuck out "they're just another Stoke City" as a soundbite over a pint to make out they know what they're talking about, thats what's sad.
Good news is I was watching him on Sunday and I could only think his star is finally falling, two more seasons and he'll add nothing constructive to that team and then where will they be.
Goodbye Stevie G.
31 Posted 30/10/2012 at 15:47:19
Apart from that - everything Eugene Ruane said in 346 - spot on.
32 Posted 30/10/2012 at 15:54:23
My only concern was Everton getting done for retaliation when Allen was constantly niggling Fella and Fella was getting angry himself.
If that 93rd minute goal had stood it would have been the most undeserved winner in derby match history and they've had many of those. Justice prevailed however and Ratboy had the smile wiped of his teeth.
So, Stevie grapes, you have nothing to gripe about.

But how good was it to watch the clown run full length off the pitch dive to his knees to celebrate a disallowed goal in front off the Red Shite tools? Priceless.
40 Posted 30/10/2012 at 16:14:34
We did the right thing by Hillsboro but this is football and it's high time we stood up for ourselves and dished it back.
Just look at the reactions on here and other forums, come on Everton show some balls for a change.

Indeed, a statistical breakdown of the match shows that Everton managed 359 accurate passes to Liverpool's 257 and produced twice as many crosses (34 to 17), most of them low, driven balls from the left by Mirallas or Baines. They also had more possession, more chances and committed less fouls.

The thing I have a problem with is him criticizing Everton's captain saying he should set an example and his booking for alleged diving let the team down. True to his character, PN accepted the booking and criticism.
But what I don't like is the captain of England saying PN let the club down after SG LET THE COUNTRY DOWN after receiving a red card in a recent international. People should not throw stones in a glass building.
53 Posted 30/10/2012 at 17:24:15
To tie this in with another TW forum about BBC bias, it is the combination of over-weaning press coverage and their own lack of a sense of reality which perpetuates their slide towards a Leeds-like destiny.
Very disappointed with Rodgers, who I thought had more class.
Just shows how wrong you can be.
Oh...and if we play like Stoke City then the RS play like Lincoln City.
54 Posted 30/10/2012 at 17:31:25
I know I shouldnt expect better from a Red like him and the reds in my family but they actually think Stevie G talks sense. I cant wait until we batter them at some point and Stevie G gets clattered.

The funniest bit for me was watching him sprint 50 yards, full knee slide in front of the RS only to realise the goal was disallowed and in fact Leighton was bombing down the wing towards him. Money can't buy such moments.

I think not only did Stevie (God I wish I could have been a brilliant rock guitarist) Geraldo became aware that his footballing days were numbered, but for Evertonians it didn't help matters that he walked in on the Mrs having a laugh and a joke with the gardener. And get this my mate has delivered shite to this guys house for Tesco, and he's been caught by St Gerrard havin a laugh with his Mrs.
To describe Gerrard from what I hear, I need an episode of Father Ted.
It's the one where a little tart is on telly being fantastic to all the grannies and Mrs Doyle wins a poetry comp and this little shit comes round to father Teds house and is a complete and utter cumquat i.e. a nasty little shite. This is Gerrard. A nasty little child who cant understand that he's never going to win the title or anything elses for that matter.
But for me, Gerrard is way down the list of disgusting people who have commented in the meeja this weekend. Funny enough they've all been people who have worked for TalkSpurs. The main twat being Medicine ball head Brazil. What a complete and utter cunt this guy has been. Just to put the record straight, Alan, climbing all over a player to gain an advantage commonly known as "taking a ride" then the "Teeth from Hell's" goal should've been disallowed from this act alone. Since you never mentioned this all day on your show tells all Evertonians that you are a womans' genitialia. You disgust me, Brazil. You should, by deedpoll change your name because it defiles the team called Brazil.
Liverpool were Shite on Sunday and the sick media know it. I don't see the meeja talking about Liverpool in terms of racism. Why's that then, memory of a goldfish, or what?
What we need is the honest football fan to start attacking the media. If we don't we'll not have a football competition to talk about. Chelsea. Stand by for all refs to go on strike. It will happen.
I don't like anything that says someone is shite because of the colour of his or her skin. But I hate even more when people will use the colour of his or her skin to win favour. Sorry, but this is the UK and we, and we alone and not politicians or quangos will decide at the end of the day whats right and whats wrong.
I don't know if this will get to the media, I hope it does. But people like BBC and TalkSport, be aware, with the advent of the internet, you are becoming superfluous TO REQUIREMENTS....../

"Steven Gerrard normally doesn't do disallowed goal celebrations but if he did it probably would be the best in the world" It was for me. Fecking knobhead can't do his talking on the pitch anymore and tries to do it post-match.
81 Posted 30/10/2012 at 21:28:18
His comments on phil Neville, are also laughable given his own diving around on the field (us, Sheffield united,, arsenal, Milan), type it in and google gives you a 6 inch list of his diving.

That club is fast becoming a laughing stock, with David Brent for a manager, the Director of Communications threatening their own fans, and Suarez is the most hated man in the P.L. They also let their £35m donkey go out on loan when the twats can't score ! You couldn't make it up.
They also brought the king back to blow £120m - superb.
Liverpool can't handle the fact they are a mid-table side with declining support, a few more years of mamaged decline with these Yanks on board will do nicely.
What's up Stevie G laaar, this year not going to be your's to win the League ?
85 Posted 30/10/2012 at 22:38:54
And if I was Tony Pulis, I would be really pleased by this comment to compare his team with the fluid passing team that are Everton. He must be a very happy man. (and hopefully telling his players to kick him off the park next time they meet).
86 Posted 30/10/2012 at 22:44:06
With a little luck we might just do that.
Talking about luck Arsenal were dead and buried at Reading being 4-0 down, but somehow they managed to claw it back and go onto win 7-5 after extra-time.

he's past 30 and knows he'll never win the League. His team started behind Utd and Arsenal, then came the money for Chelski and Citeh, while Spurs, and now Everton are eclipsing his team.
Bitter Reds. I think this is their Cup Final now.
And complaining about an Everton player diving. Laughable, it's quite sad. Let him be hanged by his own words; the football world is looking down on him.

90 Posted 30/10/2012 at 23:14:02
Some fools will lap it up though. Already seen posts that define crosses as 'direct' play (and in some way crude) to bolster the 'accuracy' of his comments.
As far as the stats go, I am willing to bet that those for the first 70 minutes show an even wider gulf between the teams, with them closing the gap in the last 20 when the effort of getting back into the game took its toll on the older legs in our smaller squad.
91 Posted 31/10/2012 at 00:07:55
Worryingly for the deludes, while Stevie G, for the first time. feels the need to slag off EFC, Man Utd fans appear unconcerned about LFC, addressing their invective towards City, now

"Come on lads, give him a break. Hes just made himself look a complete arse on National TV. Whilst he was running 80 yards and sliding on his knees in front of his own fans, Everton were busy breaking at the other end of the pitch. The daft cunt.
Hes probably made himself look even dafter with these remarks in all fairness, and anyone with a couple of brain cells will pick his comments apart.
Hes slating Everton, who currently sit 5th and have had a great start to the Season, much better than Liverpools season so far. He labels them a long ball team when the stats show that Liverpool played more long balls.
He then goes onto criticise an opposition player for diving, when one of his own team mates, Mr Cauliflower Arse himself – Luis Suarez – is the worst culprit of all.
Gerrard is on a downward slope and hell be done sooner rather than later. Hes just clutching to a final straw and hes coming across as an idiot (the influence of Mr Rodgers?) and a desperate fool."
Back o' the net! LOL
99 Posted 31/10/2012 at 12:20:11
The two points I want to make in my comment is first of all Gerrard wants to check the match statistics on accurate passes and overall possession.
Secondly, I admire Phil Jagielka for being extremely diplomatic and not being drawn into twitter twatter. Personally, I would have just told him to fuck off!

Gerrard's comments don't anger or frustrate me. They please me, as it makes him appear even more like a sour twat. But his comments do make it even more imperative that we go to Anfield later in the season and batter them into the ground.

" I met a Genie the other day and he told me he still had one wish left to grant. 'I want to live forever' I said, 'sorry' said the Genie 'the Magic Union has banned us from granting those type of wishes' – 'Oh Well! I said 'then I want to live until Liverpool win the Premier League' – 'Crafty Cunt' said the Genie.
