Writing in his column for the Liverpool Echo, former Everton manager Howard Kendall now believes only one Reds player would get into Everton’s starting XI:
“Before the derby I stated my belief that only two Liverpool players would get into the Everton team. Phil Thompson wasn’t happy, and he gave me a right grilling on Soccer Saturday, insisting that at least five of Roy Hodgson’s side would be good enough to get into the Blues starting line-up. Well, in hindsight, I have to hold my hands up and admit I got it wrong. I’d only take ONE Liverpool player, Steven Gerrard. The rest were woeful.”
Kendall believes it was wrong for Liverpool manager Roy Hodgson to say they were the better team:
“Everyone in a blue shirt was closing down, in stark contrast to the opposition. I have to disagree with Roy that his team played well. Sometimes you say things to protect your team, but you can’t kid the fans. They are knowledgeable and passionate enough to deserve better than that. I think it would have been wiser for Roy to hold his hands up, and to let everyone know he thought it was unacceptable.”
STELLA ARTOIS WORLD DRAUGHT MASTERS
Roys a senile demented old fool, Everton outclassed us they played like they had a plan. We played like a bunch of individuals playing in the park passing the ball around and when we got to the opponents box they didn’t have a clue what to do……YNWA
yeah roy lookedlike a OAP in the post office wondering what que to go in
Howard Kendall’s an idiot.
When you make a statement such as “only one Liverpool player would get into the Everton starting line up” you’re surely not basing it on one performance.
I’m sure if Moyles had his pick, he would be jumping to take Torres, Reina and probably even Agger.
howard has been on the pop again i see, what planet are you on. i would reina cole gerrard kuyt agger torres johnson and carrager and even skyrtl before that lot.
they do have a better manager than us at present and he’s crap
Id rather have Moyes over Roy any day of the week and he aint crap
LOL at the bitter old drunk.
Still on the wine then Howard? P
hahhahah it makes me laugh, poor old bluenoises 1 derby win in 10 years and they go mad.
who is howard kendall. everton are a mid table team always and forever,no european football,didn win a cup in decades,fair enough they won the derby against a poor liverpool side
Come on guys give them the credit they deserve Everton out performed us and had a plan, they didn’t let us settle on the ball and made us look like amateurs, the only joke from the game was Roys comments saying we were unlucky to lose and we were the better team, what game was he watching the senile demented old fart……YNWA
