Daniel Rhodes hosts Hamzah Khalique-Loonat to analyse the crazy derby victory, topics include:Â
The rotation by Klopp, and the potential reasons to do it for the Merseyside Derby. How effective was the tactical set up? Two superb early goals helped to settle the nerves, how much was down to the tactics of either side? Who was at fault, if anyone, for Everton’s opening goal? The perfect Lovren pass, the perfect Origi control and finish. Lovren’s last-ditch intervention with Everton likely to score. Counter-attacking brilliance for the fourth goal. Everton hit back again, Klopp is furious. After half-time the game is fairly quiet until Henderson comes on and plays another cracking over-the-top through ball for Mane, who should score after his Divock-esque control. Another Henderson through ball, another Mane big chance missed. Wijnaldum secures a five star victory over the Toffees.
