The latest Merseyside Derby took place yesterday afternoon as the Reds hosted Everton at Anfield on a busy day of Premier League football.
Much of the talk before the game centred on team selection. Jurgen Klopp decided to rest Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino – amongst others – as the likes of Dom Solanke and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain came into the side.

We needed to kill the game after the break, though, and despite more possession another goal didn’t come for us. The Blues, however, managed to draw level after winning a penalty, much to the sheer frustration of all at Anfield.
