A Friendly Derby


Actually it's everything but friendly about the match up between Liverpool and Everton tonight.

A must win for Liverpool. Drop point and we'll be chasing MU, perhaps till the end as they have 1 extra game and they're not seemingly possible to drop some stupid points either.
They had won all their latest game with a series of 1-0, some with a very, very late goals but who cares? It's 3 points that matters. Somehow their strikers managed to score even in a tight game be it Berbatov, Tevez, Rooney or the cocky faced Ronaldo. They have match winners in abundance.

Liverpool?
We clearly lacked match winners apart from Gerrard and Torres. The others are not dependable to score, a case in point Kuyt and Lucas last week against Stoke. They had chances but blew it. In a match as tight as that, every opportunity counts and yet they failed to nail it so chances went begging. 0-0 at the end.

Everton without a striker in their line up present a big chance to the Reds to correct what went wrong last time out. Nothing else matters except 3 big points to overhaul MU at the top.

Nothing else matters.
