How did Liverpool do on the pitch over the last month? George Way guides us through our wins, draws and losses... Everton vs. Liverpool 23/11/13 The first game since the release of the last issue, and it couldn’t have been any bigger, or more exciting. The first Merseyside derby of the season was eagerly anticipated, with both sides playing not only for local bragging rights, but a massive boost to their league campaigns. The atmosphere reflected the importance of the game, with all fans from both sides setting up what was to be a great spectacle of a match. The game kicked off and instantly the play was end to end. After only 5 minutes, the Reds drew first blood: Coutinho making the most of poor defensive work off a corner. In spite of the early goal, Everton still seemed confident, and piled men forward until 3 minutes later, when (after a Leighton Baines free-kick), Kevin Mirallas blasted the ball past a helpless Mignolet.
