Ronaldo, perhaps?

Hatred

How about some relevance to this game? Saurez has done nothing wrong this game. Stop being sheep and giving easy digs.

Downing has zero bottle

How are we not ahead? If we keep this pressure on it is surely only a matter of time. Plus we can still bring on both Gerrard and Bellamy to cause some real havoc.

Well people brand maradona the biggest cheat ever for his handball well Suarez did that in the world cup

Well done ref, all the attention on you, just how you like it.

To be fair most players from latin-speaking countries are as bad as Suarez is.

How has Suarez cheated? He got fouled, the ref made the decision to give a red card for a dangerous challenge. It was soft but according to the rules it was a red, as was Cahill's.

Saurez was fouled in the box, he was looking for it but never dived, it was just clever. If Jakielka is stupid enough to fall for it, that's not Suarez' fault.

What's going on with Carroll today? He's looking very leaden footed. And Downing doesn't seem to want to put crosses in either.

The problem now is that cards are handed out way too easily. Players are diving around, including Suarez and getting rewarded for it. It has been happening more and more and refs are falling for it and issuing cards. Who can blame them now though? They are so good at it. Video evidence, problem solved.

Maradona did not get punished for his handball, likewise Thierry, and Suarez did. You need to do better..

Downing started of good but faded as the half went on. Carroll hasn't done much, or anything. But we had good possession and Suarez has been clever.
May be bring on Bellers for Andy and Gerrard for Adam?

Are you saying that because a ref doesn't notice a deliberate handball it makes it less of a cheating offence than if it is noticed and punished?

The refs in this country are rubbish but they are protected so much they take no blame. They make obvious silly mistakes right in front of them, why don't they come out and say look I made a mistake thy would make it a lot easier, but no they think there high and mighty and blameless. We may have one of the best leagues in the world but some of the worst refs

Liverpool are only playing with 9 men anyway. Carroll and Downing are invisible

Maradona and Henry both had plenty of time to think about what they were doing, and they were both done to contribute to goals scored. There have been many cases of players desperately sacrificing themselves in a match by handballing off the line to defend. If you're using that logic then Phil Neville is as big a cheat as Suarez.

I disagree. I don't think it is the fault of the refs. There are some pretty silly rules. That Rodwell tackle is a sending off compared to the rules, he attempted to go into a challenge with studs showing but obviously common sense should prevail.

Referees need help as players becoming better and tricking them. FIFA tried officials behind the goals, they have tried everything to get away from video evidence but in the end, they're gonna have to go with it.

Slightly exaggerating but you do have point, kinda, Downing and Carrols really need to improve in the 2nd half

Only slightly

All teams will have the luck go their way in the game, the trick is to take advantage of it and so far Liverpool have not done that. In terms of actually winning this game it might be worth bringing off Carroll he is struggling to lead the line effectively. However the lad had a good game against Wolves so giving him at least 15-20 minutes in the 2nd half would be fair.Having Gerrard and Bellamy on the bench is useful we might well need them.

Second halfs been pretty much all Liverpool but some sloppy play has seen us lose the ball outside Everton's box

Two subs needed during this half Gerrard on for Adam and Bellamy on for Carroll.

With Everton down to ten men, it would be a good idea to bring on Gerrard for Adam, much earlier
