To all those who said we'd lose tonight with BR's selection and no imports -WHERE ARE YA WHERE ARE YA?
Both have been superb, Hendo's making some quality runs too. The front three are playing well with, dare I say it, Luis being the least impressive of the trio Migs has made some cracking saves. Flanno, Skrtel and Toure are playing well too.
Very impressed. Partly because Gerrard always raises his game for the derby. But Ford seems to have his passing game on form tonight too. Impressed though, working very well indeed
Infinitely better than the two man option. Suarez and Sturridge look very fluid too, constantly switching positions.

Looking at Gerrard's goal, he just looks behind him before he makes his run and Barry looks as well giving Gerrard that extra yard to get the run and in front of him. Very clever if it was deliberate. What's really impressed me with Flanagan since he's come back in is his passing. Compared to previous years, he seems to have really upped that aspect of his game and when he's on the ball more often than not will find a man with a pass. Noticed as well it's normally quick sharp passes into feet, reminiscent of when Gerrard pings it into players and expects them to have the first touch to control it.
The midfield three have mostly done a good job defensively, pressed and closed up well. Mirallas has caused some problems coming inside from the right.
Hope Lukaku is not to badly injured, we want him fit for when they play our rivals for top four. Ankle ligaments could be a bit nasty.
Stones was way out of position for the second goal. Wonder if he was told to push up against Cissoko as he is our weak link. Do we have to thank Cissoko for being so crap and giving us so much space as everton target him as our weak link.
Daniel Sturridge is only the 2nd player to score a brace before half-time in a PL Merseyside derby. Robbie Fowler (03.04.1999) was the first
Everyone has been brilliant, apart from Cissokho who has been shocking. Didn't think we'd be 3-0 up at HT! More in the second half please! No wonder why Tobes doesn't want unbanning
