Ronald Koeman blasts Jurgen Klopp for his ‘show’ during Liverpool 3

The Merseyside Derby is one of the most anticipated fixtures of the Premier League calendar and this weekend promises to be an entertaining one for the neutrals. But Everton went in choosing to be at a disadvantage with their strategy and have nobody to blame but themselves for another Merseyside Derby loss.

Otherwise, we should see a familiar back four with Nathaniel Clyne once again starting at right-back while James Milner will continue at left-back.

However, the lead lasted just two minutes and 57 seconds before Coutinho beat two players and curled a shot into the top corner, and he then set up substitute Divock Origi – on for the injured Mane – to power in Liverpool’s third.

We had a good game back in December at Goodison, when only a goal in the fourth minute of extra time separated the sides. We can not take a risk or something.

The duo of Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley has been in excellent form of late and often play a huge role in attack.

Ronald Koeman chose to field an odd starting XI studded with unfamiliar names plucked from the youth team – a fairly ballsy plea for transfer funds, perhaps? The Toffees were miserable in stretches and the mentality change he was calling for in Derby games starts with him, and we didn’t see it today.

Odinbet is a football prediction service that summarises football data and statistics to give the user a probability of certain things happening in an upcoming game. It will take time – six, seven, eight months – but he will come back as strongly as before, I am sure. By October, with the way we played, the chances we created and we weren’t conceding many goals, and we were good on the eye and beating Arsenal and Chelsea away, drawing at Tottenham, I thought they could do it.

“Although it’s a derby, I don’t think there is so much hatred between the two clubs”. We had a game plan, tried to press them.

Of course, we always have the support of the fans.

The form team on Merseyside is Everton, who have improved tremendously since losing 1-0 at home to Liverpool just before Christmas. The reservation here for me is Everton’s away performances can be very poor – they toiled at Middlesbrough and Stoke, and have been on the end of a beating at Chelsea earlier in the year. “Maybe in-depth we haven’t got the players”.

Liverpool are one of the four-best teams in this division, and their final position should reflect that, but if they fall short, it will be down to a threadbare squad.
