Everton FC’s John Heitinga - we must beat Liverpool FC in derby after Hull defeat
JOHN HEITINGA branded the Blues' first half performance against Hull as 'shameful' and vowed to make amends in the best way possible by beating Liverpool in the derby.[LNB]The Dutch international said Everton's players accept full responsibility for their terrible start to the KC stadium clash, which saw them concede three goals for the second game running.[LNB]Everton have now won just one of their last eleven games, and despite fighting back in the second half crashed to a 3-2 defeat against Phil Brown's Hull.[LNB]He said: 'It was shameful in the first half. We know we weren't anywhere near the level we needed to be at. It's hard to explain why we were like that because normally we are solid and don't let teams score so easily.[LNB]'I have played in the Madrid derby match for Athletico against Real and I know that the only way we can make up for this is by beating Liverpool. They are not going into the game in the best form either and we have a good chance to put tonight behind us.[LNB]'If I had to try to take a positive I would say that Stephen Pienaar played well for us, particularly in the second half. I have played with him for Ajax and I know he is a quality player who will help us a lot now he is over his injury.'[LNB]Meanwhile, a furious David Moyes insisted his players fight-back in the second half was made irrelevant by their first 45 minutes.[LNB]He said: 'We didn't play well enough to win.That about sums it up, really.
