“Good result all things considered”, “On to the proper stuff” – Fans react to Everton 0-0 Liverpool

Liverpool and Everton shared the spoils in a low-key and uneventful goalless draw in the 231st Merseyside derby battle on Saturday afternoon.

Everton 0-0 Liverpool

Premier League, Goodison Park
April 7, 2018


Jurgen Klopp’s makeshift and heavily depleted Reds showed impressive spirit and resilience to battle to a point at Goodison Park.

It was one of the most low-key derby games in living memory, with little goalmouth action at either end, and the atmosphere more reminiscent of a first round League Cup fixture.

This certainly suited Liverpool, with what is to come on Tuesday night, and the point is a useful one given the circumstances.

Here’s how supporters reacted to a subdued derby-day showdown across social media and on our forums.

 

Supporters felt it was a positive result and praised the Reds’ efforts…

But some were unimpressed with certain incoming Reds and discussed a lack of depth…

“My only conclusion is thank goodness we have Mo Salah. We would be pretty toothless without him.”

“Had our front 3 played, we could have murdered them. This goes to show that our squad needs depth and decent quality to see out weaker teams.”
