Carragher feels Klopp should have introduced more of an attacking threat during draw at Everton
Jamie Carragher felt that Jurgen Klopp should have made more changes and introduced extra creativity in the attacking third for The Reds as they struggled to break Everton down on Sunday.
Carragher was one of the pundits on Sky Sports' Super Sunday coverage from Goodison Park for the 0-0 draw in the Merseyside derby.
Liverpool's former number 23 highlighted the concerns for Klopp's side now as the balance shifted in City's favour in the Premier League title race.

Everton 0-0 Liverpool: What went wrong?
A goalless draw at Old Trafford last weekend meant Liverpool's once-comfortable lead at the top of the Premier League table had been whittled down to nothing. They no longer had any margin for error. But it was a case of mistakes aplenty in the Merseyside Derby, and now the title race is out of their hands.
The Reds preserved their 17th clean sheet with relative ease, but paid for a lack of creativity and, most of all, composure. In truth, …
Liverpool vs Everton Preview - Potential Key Battles
Liverpool travel the vast distance to Goodison Park on Sunday for another hotly anticipated Merseyside Derby. The stakes are showing no signs of letting up for the Reds, but have drawn five of their last six trips to their rivals – with Sadio Mané’s late show the only time the Reds have won there in the league under Klopp. Fresh off the back of Divock Origi’s humiliating last-minute goal, the rivalry renews again. So what will be some of the …

Everton stopped the rot in Wales on Tuesday night. After three straight defeats, they finally picked up all three points with a solid 3-0 win over a struggling Cardiff City team. Gylfi Sigurdsson, in particular, was in fine form for Everton, pitching in with two goals from his attacking midfield role.

Gini Wijnaldum believes Goodison Park atmosphere will spur on The Reds
Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum thinks the hostile atmosphere at Goodison Park this Sunday will only serve to motivate Jurgen Klopp's team even more for the game.
Wijnaldum was interviewed by James Pearce of the Liverpool Echo ahead of the 233rd Merseyside derby this weekend.
When it was highlighted to Wijnaldum just how much the blue half of Liverpool would want to damage The Reds' title charge, Wijnaldum said:
“Yeah, but we want to defeat them badly too. “So it works …
The Reds' possible starting eleven against Everton this Sunday
Is this how Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp will line The Reds up for the Merseyside derby at Everton this weekend?
Liverpool and Everton played out an extremely tight and tense game at Anfield back in early-December.
A 96th-minute winner from super-sub Divock Origi gave Liverpool a priceless 1-0 victory and started Klopp's men on an eight-game winning streak in all competitions.
2019 has proved a tougher proposition so far for Liverpool, however. Yet, on Wednesday night, Sadio Mané, Mohamed Salah and …
The Tale of Divock Origi and The Merseyside Derby
The Divock Origi substitution was getting close to the Joël Matip substitution when it comes to things that are almost a parody. Just as bringing Matip on in the 90th minute of any requisite game to shore up a 2-0 win doesn’t really make that much sense, neither does throwing on Divock Origi when you’re desperate for a goal or two late in games. It reeks of desperation. I even joked that Belgium were reaching into LFC’s desperation tactics book when …

The Game That Time Will Forget | Everton 0 Liverpool 0
Last month saw the release of Tony Evans’ Two Tribes book.
It looks at the 1985-86 season set against the backdrop of social and political turmoil in and around the city at the time. Despite the shame of Heysel, the impact of Thatcherism and a city still reeling from Liverpool City Council’s war with Westminster, there was plenty to be proud about. The music scene – both here and in nearby Manchester - had never been stronger as young Liverpool …
Is Momentum Building Again Under Klopp?
International breaks are a bit of a curate's egg. Now, that is supposed to mean that there are both good and bad aspects to them and yet the origin of the expression yields a meaning far closer to this columnist's opinion of the all-too-frequent Premier League interruptions. Apparently, the turn of phrase comes from an 1895 Punch cartoon which depicted a meek and sycophantic curate, who, despite being given a stale egg at the bishop's dining table, obsequiously assured his …
