Alan Shearer was left bemused as to why Ibou Konate did not receive a second yellow card against Everton yesterday.With the scoreline at 0-0 and our No. 5 already on a booking, he was adjudged to have fouled Blues striker Beto just inside the Liverpool half.Referee Craig Pawson awarded the visitors a free kick but […]

Liverpool beat Everton 2-0 in the Merseyside and most of Jurgen Klopp’s players performed well in the victory but special attention must be afforded the individual display from one man in midfield – as well as Ryan Gravenberch.Dominik Szoboszlai continued to impress in a red shirt and his 93% pass accuracy (via Sofascore) shows how […]
