splitting image of diaby's challenge, either Carsley was lucky or Diaby was very unlucky. I always thought the rule was that only a two-footed challenge was a straight red, but then again it is a dangerous tackle so i have no problem with it been a red.
Yesterday's game showed again the problem Livo have had all season. For all the dominance we had in the first half, the only goal came via a mistake from Yakubu of all people in defense. Kuyt was again wasteful but at least he tried hard. To me the main problem was Babel. Dead set, how many opportunities did the kid miss. He is also woeful at crossing on the run, which is unacceptable for a player of his position and calibre. I can see the talent, but so many of our attacking sets died cause one of Babel's crosses would either fall straight to an Everton defender or meekly flick of them for a corner.
Nevertheless, an important win considering how many away games Livo have over the rest of the season. Could be a bit of a cushion considering the difficult matches we have coming up.
