Liverpool vs Everton

Well, that is that. In truth a poor game, Everton offering almost nothing going forward but playing superbly at the back, Liverpool with big problems in my opinion. They will have to replay at Goodison ..

Gerrard takes a nasty tumble. He looks ok though.

Gerrard gets a free header 12 yards out but it hits his shoulder and goes out for a goal kick.

Three minutes to be added.

Time running out for Liverpool to avoid an unwanted replay. They wouldn't even have that if Tim Howard had put in a decent shift.

Kuyt wins the ball of Baines but as the ball is swept across, Riera's ball in is poor and finds no-one.

Jagielka whacks clear as Gerrard curls in the cross. What a game he's had.

Riera's the one diving now as Hibbert gets his foot in. Corner for Liverpool.

Dossena slams one in from 35 yards but Howard is equal to it. For once.

Torres looks absolutely knackered. He can't keep his feet in possession at the minute. Gosling does well there to draw the foul from Riera and give Everton some momentary respite.

Rodwell has had a mare since he came on - giving the ball away every time he's got it.

Lescott has had an awesome game, he piles in strongly on Gerrard then picks himself up to clear Dossena's cross.

Gerrard gets round the back and crosses for Torres but his tap-in hits Jagielka and Everton breathe again...

A great chance to break for Everton is wasted - they had four on four, then Liverpool break with three on three, the ball finding its way to Kuyt who can only manage a tame effort right at Howard.

Cahill is up to clear the cross, then nods away again on Gerrard's next delivery.

Handball given against Baines, even though he was two yards away from Kuyt when he hit it. Gerrard over the free kick.

Just over ten minutes for either side to prevent a replay...

Carragher and Skrtel manage to get DOssena out of jail as Osman looked to burst through. Then Pienaar is booked for a trip on Skrtel.

Riera replaces Babel for Liverpool and Castillo is replaced by 17-year-old Jack Rodwell.

Gosling's first involvement is disappointing as he gives the ball to Dossena, then Gerrard drives into the box but can't pull the ball back outside of the reach of Howard.

The siege continues ... but no sign of Liverpool creating a clear cut chance.

Gosling is on for Anichebe.

Disgusting episode from Mascherano.

Mascherano throws himself to the floor after zero contact from Cahill, who has already been booked. As the Argentine is on the floor he waves an imaginary card in an attempt to get Cahill sent off. Cheeky *******.

Osman does well to nick the ball off the toes of Babel before he can shoot.
