Everton were due that decision after having so many derbies taken out of their hands by refereeing mistakes in the past.
It was a cracking game in entertainment terms if not quality. Everton bossed the first half after Liverpool scored their goals. The telling contribution in the match was Suarez. But not for his assist, goal or the non-winner at the end, but his foul on Mirallas. He was having the better of Wisdom and had he stayed on I'd have fancied Everton to win. Frustrating for Everton today, the game was a week early for Fellaini to contribute much and the threat we had down the left was stopped when Mirallas departed. We didn't really create anything but half chances from crosses in the second half. So much inconsistency from the referees again, Pienaar was banned from this game for not touching the QPR player last week. Sterling in the first half, after being booked, kicks Baines in a very similar position and isn't sent off.
We've had quite a few calls go against us this season, go through some of the pages on here if you want a few examples. How did Coates foul Jagielka? He jumped up nice and high and cleanly won the ball, his arms came on to Jagielka on his way down, but Jagielka wasn't getting that ball, nor was he denied the chance to get it. The call was a joke and you trying to defend it as a mythical foul shows just how embarrassing you are.
Not sure what foul you're talkng about? When Mirallas was injured, it looked like he'd just pulled something after he crossed the ball. I don't remember seeing him tackled or anything.
Indeed, inconsistency is a joke. Sterling's original booking was a joke, did his wrist stroke Baines' ribs? The second challenge wasn't a yellow card either, just a standard foul but your lust to see a player of ours get a red is what made you think it was a second yellow. I didn't see what Pienaar was done for but Sterling didn't deserve to walk today. The only Liverpool player who deserved anything was Suarez for his late foot, a yellow was about right depending on how you viewed the malice.
The game as a whole was quite odd. Everton were the home side so were always going to have better spells. We were going well at 2-0 but the inexperience of the team came through and we let it slip. The goal at the end wouldn't have been undeserved, but a draw was probably fair.
As for the cretin saying where was the great quality football, Everton chased us off the park today, it was always going to be an open, scrappy game, every derby is.

) for Liverpool as they were much out-played but didn't get beat. Didn't see any of this AMAZING football from Liverpool that gets talked about daily on here either though. Nice celebration from Suarez too, along with his assault on Distin's ankle (should have been sent off, cancels out the onside 'goal')
