Tony Evans Column: Buckle Up! Beat Newcastle & Madrid to Avoid a Total Bust
The performance against Everton felt like a throwback to a golden age. Last season. Things change that quickly.
Granted, the Blues were really poor. We expected the Dogs of War. Instead we got yard-dogs with distemper.
Still, there are grounds for optimism after the derby. The pace of the front three for the opening strike was electrifying. Cody Gakpo needed his goal and you could see the confidence flowing through him. The return of Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino as …

In terms of a neutral, it was a bland showing between two sides that had an array of attacking talent on show. Some pundits have put this down to the fact that both sides had a three-week break from their last league game, blaming rustiness as the reason for the lack of quality.

Madrid Can Be Mane’s Defining Moment

Similarly, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s outrageous assist for Origi’s tie-clinching strike will go down in legend for its audacity and speed of thought.
Alisson’s expertise in the Reds goal helped keep his side …
