Premier League Round Up: Everton - 12 January 2011
Left back Seamus Coleman has urged his teammates to focus on the game against Liverpool and not get into off-the-field theatrics. It was Coleman’s defence splitting pass, which set up midfielder Tim Cahill for the opening goal
in their 2-0 win over Merseyside rivals and Coleman claimed that they would want nothing less than a win at Anfield, on Sunday as well.
However, things have changed since that 2-0 win, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 legend Kenny Dalglish has taken over the club reigns to replace Roy Hodgson. It would be the 215th match to be played between these two sides and.
"Maybe Liverpool and their fans will be more up for the game now they have a new manager but it will not change how we approach the game. We can only worry about ourselves, we just need to prepare well this week," stated Coleman.
Everton would be without the services of their top goal scorer for the fixture, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Australia-c746. The midfielder is captaining the Australian national side in the Asian Cup and
his services would be missed by Everton. However, the club strikers have failed to make an impact this season and it has been up to Cahill to take over the burden of goal scoring as well as goal making. Liverpool would want to make quick work of their Merseyside
rivals to get their season back on track. No less than a Top 4 finish would be on the agenda for Dalglish. However, it is easier said than done, as they would face tough competition from the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, Sunderland and Bolton Wanderers
for that spot. All these teams are ready to battle it out for the Champions League spot and their matches against each other would set the tone of the season.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Carrick-c25282, Everton would want to sneak in an early goal and defend for the remainder in order to get themselves out
of the last 10 in the Premier League.
