David Moyes has made some pretty inflammatory comments ahead of the derby: http://gulfnews.com/sport/football/moyes-suarez-turning-fans-off-1.1094612 Bit sad really. Calling Andy Johnson quick and quickfooted so it was ok because he got to things really quickly, but Suarez a diver? Laughable. I mean, what's Suarez then? Slow and clumsy?
That's Suarez in my fantasy team ****ed then. Definite yellow for diving/simulation coming his way after those comments.
Also Rodgers has pretty much asked the referee to give Liverpool a decision leading up to the game in the press.
Johnson, so fleet of foot and thought that even the slightest breeze near him somehow knocked him off his feet! Plus Johnson never had the speed of thought of control that Suarez has
Leave Moyes alone, He's only practicing to stand a better chance of succeeding SAF. What a pitiful piece on every level, bandwagon jumping, victimising, apologist for his own team, and looking such a sad *wat. Andy Johnson lighter and faster than Suarez, Moyes must be on something! Suarez to score a hatrick and run half the length of the pitch and do a sliding dive in front of mouthy Moyes while grinning ear to ear
I'm not talking about Johnson. For all I care he might have been the most honestestest upstanding citizen as well as knighted. But it's sad how he justifies anything Johnson did with "he was quick and quick footed". So tell me then, whats Suarez? Other than Stoke (where he was clipped initially) he hasn't really had many incidents where he dives without contact. Sure he makes a meal of it. But according to Moyes that's ok if he is quick and quickfooted. He's effectively asking the refs to book him tomorrow and those kind of comments belong in this game just as much as diving does.
Then go on cross the park. The reasons that Moyes will be anxious are: He has no idea as to how our youngsters may react in a Derby environment. His side is expected to win. The press that the Blues have recieved has exceeded the reality. FINALLY WE ARE LFC AND ARE ALWAYS CAPABLE OF PUTTING THE BITTERS IN THEIR PLACE
Expect the ridiculous fouls on suarez to continue tomorrow. Never a chance of us getting a pen now, great work by Moyes.
“If a ball hits your hand, of course you are going to claim for it. And you will take every decision you get. But when people are out to manufacture it, supporters in general will not like it." Why do you have a cheat as your captain then? you ****wit.
Moyes said: "Andy is being punished because others are talking about our players when they should be keeping their mouths shut. I don't know how many penalties we should have had for fouls on him, but we have certainly lost out on a few." **** off Moyes. Everton and Anthony McFarlane, from BaseSoccer, Johnson's representatives, issued a joint statement that will make uneasy reading at the FA, felt in some quarters to be reluctant to take Chelsea on. It read: "In the wake of Sunday's Premiership game against Chelsea at Goodison Park, we wish to jointly condemn the post-match comments of Jose Mourinho relating to Andrew Johnson. "To publicly question the integrity of a player of Andrew's professionalism and honesty is not only wholly unacceptable and quite possibly defamatory but also, in our opinion, highly damaging for both club and player. "We would urge the footballing authorities to look closely at Mr Mourinho's comments and then, perhaps, seek a formal explanation. "Both Everton Football Club and Andrew Johnson have always believed in the virtues of fair play and we would ask Mr Mourinho to immediately retract his allegations." We should threaten legal action against Moyes.
this is begining to annoy me now. before every game we're getting managers condeming suarez before a ball has been kicked. its just plain wrong. the ref should give what he sees not what might have happened one or two games before. the league should get a grip of this...
Personally I think no managers should be able to say anything. We all know of sir alex and his tactics to talk about a ref and inevitably get decisions his way. Whatever a manager says, it will affect the game.
So the Evil Dr Suarez will, in addition to all his other crimes, be ultimately responsible for driving the punters away. Laughable. It can't be long before he's held accountable for war, famine and pestilence throughout the world.
You've never heard of Moyes's infamous dogs of war then?, they were hatchetmen and kicked lumps out of us in derby games and so were 'cheating' in a different way to diving yet that behaviour was condoned by Moyes as fair?
Eventually Suarez will be hounded out of the game in this country. This is shocking tactics from Moyes and it just opens the floodgates for every opposition manager to try and influence the referees. Why was there never of this level of victimisation when Ronaldo was diving all over the place. Ahhh right SAFs lackeys were too frightened to say anything in case they upset him. Why no fuss about Bale falling down so very easily..ahh yes he's British . It sickens me the cheating in this game but what Moyes has done is the same as any player diving..it's influencing the referee
