Trieste mieten reacties. Het was een overtreding maar zag er erger uit dan het was. Het was niet de bedoeling van Gerrard geweest zo op de man te spelen. Dat bloed was een schaaf wondje. Ook David Moyes had er begrip voor. Een Merseyside derby wordt gewoon wat feller gespeeld.

Gerrard is een geweldige speler.

Gerrard sorry for wild tackle

Liverpool's Steven Gerrard could face a three-match ban for his reckless tackle on Everton's Gary Naysmith in Sunday's Merseyside derby.
Gerrard collected a three-match suspension last season for a similar challenge on Aston Villa's George Boateng.

This was a derby straight from the cliche manual. Frantic, tight, lacking in high quality football but where both sets of supporters can be content their heroes gave everything for the cause.

Anxiety was the biggest influence and although you may not be able to tell in the stands, the sense of respect both teams had for each other probably made a stalemate inevitable.

In the case of Gerrard (above left), perhaps the line was crossed on just how much he wanted to win.

The horror tackle on Gary Nay-smith, which he has apologised for, could have been more severely dealt with at the time, but we should hold back before we start getting as high and mighty as the tackle itself. This was straight out of the derby rule-book which was written by the likes of Graeme Souness and Peter Reid. A challenge which is always worse when it's against your side than by one of your own.

Can you defend it? No. Do you expect it in games like this? Yes.

As Liverpool's outstanding contributor to the afternoon, the Reds will be grateful their midfield linchpin didn't see red on 88 minutes but if the FA, which only fined Dennis Bergkamp £5,000 for a stamp, take stronger action here, an investigation into double standards will be warranted.

Gerrard: "I have apologised and explained to him that I tried to to pull out. And I heave tried to explain to all Everton players I tried to pull out at the last minute. I think it just looks bad because I have gone in with two feet. I am never going to try to deliberately hurt a fellow professional. Although I did go in with my studs showing I have tried to pull out at the last minute - I can honestly say that"

"If I had gone through with the tackle maybe I could have hurt him even worse but I pulled out and he only got a little mark. So I am glad for him that I haven't hurt him and he hase been able to carry on."

"I have spoke to David Moyes after the game as well and he just said to me that things like these happen. It's a derby game and tackles go flying in left, righjt and centre"

Moyes hits over video 'trial' Dec 24 2002
By David Prentice, Liverpool Echo

BLUES boss David Moyes has criticised the FA's video panel system, as Steven Gerrard waits to hear whether Sunday's horror tackle will come under further scrutiny.

Moyes (right) lost David Unsworth for the festive programme after the panel studied his red card against Chelsea two weeks ago and decided to support referee Eddie Wolstenholme's original decision.

The Blues' boss is still bristling. "I don't want to see Steven Gerrard punished," he said, "but we have lost a player (Unsworth) who has been playing really well this season because a video panel has decided he has been guilty of violent conduct.

"So it would be nice if Philip Don, the referees' assessor, could pick up the phone and tell me the reason why.

"An explanation would be nice, but more than likely there will be no phone call at all."

Moyes' mood is unlikely to be improved when he learns the identity of the fourth official appointed for Saturday's Bolton Wanderers clash at Goodison.

Eddie Wolstenholme, the man who dismissed Unsworth and refused to change his mind after reviewing the incident on video, will be patrolling the dug-outs.

It is a strange choice by the FA to send Mr Wolstenholme back to Goodison so soon after his last controversial appearance there.

But the same criteria governed Graham Poll's selection as official for Sunday's derby, two years after he ended a Goodison derby disallowing a Don Hutchison 'winner.'
