Steven Gerrard dismisses rivals Everton as a 'similar side to Stoke'

The best bit is Gerrard backed down from these claims today, after watching the game again and realising he was talking utter bollox like you do. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/...

Everton----------- Liverpool

56.2% Possession 43.8%

400 Passes 314

78.5% Passing accuracy 76.8%

13.8% Proportion of long passes 14.6%

Everton kept the ball much better, passed it more, passed it shorter more often. Look at these stats and TRY you hardest (I know its difficult for Liverpool fans) to wake up to reality.

I love how you rate most of Liverpool's squad over Everton's despite the fact they have proven they are a considerably better side over a season. The stats alone from the derby show you up.

Spoken like a true Liverpool fan who massively overrates his mediocre mid table side....the evidence has been there for seasons now and is STILL there Liverpool are a mid table team and their abilities are as such!

I laugh at most of your posts about your own club.

You tell me, if Liverpool are so much better than Everton then why is that ONLY obvious to Liverpool fans and not EVERYONE else in the world? Haha. You would still think you were world beaters and had a better squad than everyone if you were in the relegation zone, which you were...

Everyone else respects Everton and Moyes for how they have played this season so far and last. Liverpool shouldn't even be compared right now, because their performances this season are nothing.

If Everton don't finish above Liverpool again I'll eat my hat, its a sure thing.

How many EPL games did Moyes have with Everton? Several hundred.. How many with Rodgers? 9. Slow start to the season as expected, just look at Fergie's first few seasons with Utd - abysmal.
Fact is that LFC were denied 3 points, and Everton should've lost. Just like Utd should've lost at Anfield.
Still plenty of points to play for

Fact is Liverpool didn't win and probably shouldn't have anyway, going by the run of play. The second Liverpool goal came from a freekick that wasn't a freekick. The offside 'goal' was potentially a foul too because he climbed all over him to head it. Liverpool should definitely have had a bunch of extra cards for fouls too. Either way it didn't happen.

All I am hearing is excuses and not someone who should have read my comment and realised all I said was just the truth from an outside observer. Who has seen games these sides have played in and saw that Everton are indeed a better footballing side and the stats back that to the hilt in the derby as well.

Gerrard was talking rubbish as per. At least he admitted that today.
