And that, in a nutshell, is the problem Matip poses at the moment. It was the error of a man massively short on confidence. And that was all before the 10-minute mark. While the official party line is that nobody wants to see it, in truth it put the icing on the cake. The ultimate purveyor of the dark arts, even it has not helped Everton much this season, he reacted angrily to the incident. In truth, though, that was a rare opening for Everton, and Liverpool seemed to systematically crank up the heat on the visitors. Prior to the match, The new signing has come into unfortunate circumstances, to say the least. But as he rushed on through, he saw fit to kick the ball away from Pickford. Bajčetić did actually control it very well, even getting it on target, but it would have gone down as one of the best ever goals in this storied fixture. He got through the whole game without having committed a foul, but having won the ball back numerous times, repeatedly snuffing out counter-attacking threats and putting Liverpool on the attack. A much-improved performance was a low bar, but Liverpool cleared it with room to spare.

Today in the meeting I told the boys I knew everybody thought the training was really good – really good – but now we have to bring it on the pitch. It’s not that we had too much, think about the first goal we conceded against Wolves – we can talk about everything we did not well and stuff like this, but how the ball went in was just like slapstick. The way he set up the chance for Darwin [Nunez], he had other moments like this where he came out under pressure and then there was a foul and we got a free-kick. In the end, it was not the most difficult goal he ever scored, but it is exactly the goal each striker is dreaming of when it didn’t happen for a while, probably. He came here as a kid as a centre-half, played now the six for us in a few games and tonight as an eight and in a lot of moments a double-six, did extremely well. We needed this game, we needed the performance. It was necessary that we played tonight the game we wanted to play and not the game Everton wants to play. This was obviously a very important moment, not conceding in the first chance they had was a very important moment as well. and we put him on a new position; you have to ask him actually, I don’t think he ever played the position before. It’s like when the coaches talk to each other, it’s like, ‘They trained really good today’ and then it’s like, ‘Yeah, but last week it was not bad either!’ You have to start convincing. You cannot avoid that all the time but I think they didn’t have an extremely high number of set-pieces, so with all the aggressiveness you have to show you have to make sure you don’t overdo it because each set-piece is a massive threat and something they want to have, and I thought we did that really well. On top of that, we were super-dominant; switched the sides, played the ball, kept them running.
Jurgen Klopp admitted his relief after Liverpool finally won their first Premier League game of 2023 with a 2-0 derby victory over Everton on Monday.
He said: 'The players have taken a lot on board so I am not going to be too critical. I loved the atmosphere – even before we scored. 'You cannot avoid it all the time but they didn’t have an extremely high number of set-pieces. 'I thought we did that really well. It is an insane atmosphere people create here.' 'I’m happy with the performance.
