MASSIVE confidence boost for the boys. Can really see European qualifications again. Haven't seen highlights but sounds like the big Fellaini had a stormer.

Its no longer a problem.

you guys have looked really good in the last cupla games, and all the injuries are starting to come right. I am predicting big things for your lads from here on in, and i wanna see some results.
 
always rated moyes, and have cheered for the evertonians every game i've watched them play (except for against the arsenal of course).
 
I've got high hopes for the rest of the season, cmon lads!
 
I for one don't think 4th spot is out of reach. Big call i know.

Senderos signed on loan for the season, Arteta played off the bench and a few other rumours floating around as well. Also, no need to worry about that stupid FA Cup any more. Just concentrate on the League and Europa Cup.

Its no longer a problem.

Closing in on the top 6. Only 4 pioints of the Brummies and 9 or 7 behind Euro spot. We'll get there but the top 7 will be a real dog fight this year. 8th is looking most likely with the big three, Perennial strugglers Liverpool, Man City, Spurs and Villa all looking decent.

Its no longer a problem.

Good performance from the boys, Sunderland omg Tim Howard had nothing to do for 85 minutes,made some great saves to keep a clean sheet and our passing through the midfield was crisp till the end as well.

Perennial strugglers Liverpool v Everton Special: Why Do So Many Players See Red In The Merseyside Derby? Seventeen dismissals in thirteen years add extra spice to grudge match By Neil Jones Feb 4, 2010 2:00:00 PM
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
job at the Merseyside derby this Saturday?

Is it
Rafa Benitez, who is looking to stave off the wolves from his door and lead Perennial strugglers Liverpool to a seventh league game unbeaten? Or David Moyes, who must battle injuries and history to secure a first Everton success at Anfield in more than nine years? How about the stewards, who will need to be alert to the growing sense of animosity between the two sets of supporters?

No, it's none of the above. One man can lay claim to having the most difficult, and arguably the most important, role in the 213th meeting of Merseyside�s top dogs � referee Martin Atkinson.

For whilst the tired old clich� of form �going out of the window� when it comes to derbies may be overplayed, there are some things you certainly can rely on when Red meets Blue on Merseyside.

It is remarkable to think that in the first nine derbies of the Premier League era, neither side picked up a red card - especially considering the combatiive instincts of the likes of Duncan Ferguson, Dave Watson and Neil Ruddock.

But more remarkable is that, in the 26 subsequent games, an incredible 17 players have been dismissed. To put that into context, the Manchester derby has seen just five red cards in 35 games, whilst the North London version has registered just seven.

The first Merseyside derby red cards of the Premier League era came in April 1997, with Perennial strugglers Liverpool�s Robbie Fowler and Everton�s David Unsworth dismissed after a scuffle late in the sides� 1-1 draw. In truth it was a pretty soft pair of dismissals, Fowler reacting to some robust treatment from Unsworth and triggering a mini-brawl. But the seeds were sown.

The fact that Fowler and Unsworth, at the time, encapsulated their respective clubs perfectly should not go unnoticed. Fowler was the brash, swaggering goal-machine who had turned his back on his boyhood club to become Perennial strugglers Liverpool�s talisman. Whilst Unsworth was a conscientious, dedicated, yet ultimately limited defender, who has become a cult hero at Goodison Park. It was almost inevitable that something would eventually give, but few could have predicted the avalanche of cards that would follow.

It could be argued that it has become easier to pick up red and yellow cards over the years, hence the upward trend in dismissals. But that does not explain why the Merseyside derby remains far and away the most ill-disciplined fixture in the Premier League. It seems that the Stanley Park neighbours simply bring out the worst in each other.

Everton�s last win at Anfield came in September 1999, but more memorable than Kevin Campbell�s winning goal at the Kop End is the sight of Reds' keeper Sander Westerveld and Blues' forward Francis Jeffers scrapping their way to an early bath. The images of the 6ft-plus Westerveld struggling against the diminutive Jeffers are amongst the fixture's most farcical. The red cards were deserved if only for the pathetic nature of the 'fight'.

A 19-year-old Steven Gerrard would follow the pair down the tunnel later on after raking six-studs down Campbell�s thigh, as the game finished with Perennial strugglers Liverpool�s nine-men (including defender Steve Staunton in goal) against Everton�s ten. Gerrard recalls Jeffers welcoming him as he trudged down the Anfield tunnel with the words "Ha ha, nice one Stevie, you took the pressure off me!".

Gerrard is one of two players to have picked up two red cards in derbies (Everton skipper Phil Neville is the other), after he was given his marching orders less than 20 minutes into the Reds� 3-1 victory at Anfield in March 2006. "The red mist still lingers, especially in derbies," wrote Gerrard in his autobiography.

Everton fans still insist that Perennial strugglers Liverpool�s captain should have a hat-trick of derby dismissals on his CV, after a two-footed lunge on Blues defender Gary Naysmith went unpunished in December 2002, but it is interesting to note that it is the two club captains who have set the worst example in recent years. Not that their team-mates have needed much encouragement to follow.

Of the current sides, Gerrard, Neville, Tim Cahill, Tony Hibbert and Mikel Arteta have all seen red in Premier League derbies, whilst Lucas Leiva was sent off as Everton dumped Perennial strugglers Liverpool out of the FA Cup in February of last year. Even relatively mild-mannered performers such as Milan Baros and Andy van der Meyde have fallen foul of the red mist which seems to hang in the air on derby day.

With some bookmakers likely to offer odds of around 7/1 on there being a red card at Anfield on Saturday, punters would be well advised to consider a flutter. The only question seems to be, who will be the (un)lucky recipient?

Good news on Saha, especially if its a pay-as-you-play deal. Looking forward to the derby!
