think it is still significant tbf but obv could have been even worse. it looked that way on sun

Also line in this piece earlier in April about Mykolenko's situation. Club option for year extension, as previously reported (ditto Keane), and most likely outcome atm is an extension before further assessment of situation this summer

Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite expected to miss rest of season, ending World Cup hope The 23-year-old has already spent much of the season on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.

For the masochists out there, an attempt to come to terms what happened to Everton in the Merseyside derby

Happy Monday. Bah humbug

Is there a point at which - hopefully soon - we can stop having to watch these rather cringy clips of people 'drinking' tears? Feels like it was never funny in the first place and has already been done far too much

Hi mate. Asked the question this morning but no confirmation yet on this. Would have already reported otherwise

Shoulder to shoulder misses the point. There's another angle that shows he clips KDH on way through

For 25 mins and then they never recovered. opportunity missed

to be clear, I did not say 'almost'. i do not write the headlines. but my point in the piece was that this was one of the most galling derby defeats for some time, mainly because of the fact that it was there to win for everton

he would not be brought on up front mate. even for 21s he's playing wide left

Don't think Everton were particularly good immediately before the equaliser mate. LFC ended first half stronger and were better, IMO, at the start of the second. Such a difference between first 25 and everything else. Disallowed goal seemed to sap the life out of them and fans

I don't think he is awful. He has had some good moments since he joined. But the sub display was not impactful at all and Beto is the clear first pick atm. Feels like a lot has changed since mid season when it was Barry with the momentum

they were there for the taking and everton blew it. struggling to get beyond that atm. maybe it'll feel different in a few days

yep, wrote in that piece that they did not test Woodman anywhere near enough. everton much the better side for 25 mins until disallowed goal. think they go on and win if that goes their way. rest of it was not great imo. always felt liverpool more likely to sneak it at 1-1

huge difference. lost the ability to get and stay up the pitch

yep, was just giving a few examples. of course there were others

Almost predictable pain for Everton in Merseyside derby… but all is not lost Everton missed the chance to take a giant leap towards catching Liverpool. But Europe is not out of sight yet...

Liverpool were meant to be the fallible ones but this derby was decided by Everton's inability to overcome setbacks - disallowed goal, Beto's injury

Familiar derby story for #EFC. Frustration given how well they played in first 25

Everton ‘worried’ about Jarrad Branthwaite injury, says David Moyes England international Branthwaite was in tears on the pitch and left Hill Dickinson Stadium on crutches.

Jarrad Branthwaite seen leaving the stadium on crutches. Moyes said he was "worried" by the defender's injury but tests will determine full severity of the issue

HT Everton 0-1 Liverpool

#EFC much the better side up to O'Brien's disallowed goal but haven't really recovered from blow. Salah scores soon after and completely different game since

Struggled to regain early impetus and started to make bad decisions on ball

Boos for officials

Great pre-match atmosphere

Not aware of an injury at this stage

🥱

Same last weekend

Everton unchanged

Liverpool squad arrive at the stadium

Nice day for it. Already busy on Regent Rd & around stadium

Everton-Liverpool predictions: Why first Merseyside derby at Hill Dickinson is so important Can David Moyes' side strike a blow in the battle for European qualification? Or will Arne Slot's team reassert themselves in the derby?

Derby day
