In the 60th minute of the game, in the 15 minutes from the start of the second half, Everton's possession rate exceeded 70%, and Liverpool couldn't even pass their own half.

Such a situation was hardly seen in previous Merseyside derbies.

In the past, the derby was evenly matched and even Liverpool was stronger, but now the situation was reversed. Everton suppressed Liverpool and beat Liverpool at halftime.

Although Gerrard switched positions with Joe Allen and personally marked Xia Ze, Xia Ze did not have any passes that directly threatened Everton's goal in the last ten minutes.

But the heroes couldn't stand the wolves, one Xia Ze fell down, and thousands of Xia Ze stood up.

What's more, Xia Ze is not completely useless. His scheduling in the midfield makes the team's offensive width more effective, and Gibson's long shots from behind often threaten Liverpool's defense.

Liverpool's passive scene is not only reflected on the field, but the Liverpool fans in the stands are also completely overwhelmed by Everton fans.

The home fans near the visiting fans stand jeered at the Liverpool fans from both sides, laughing at Rodgers on one side and Gerrard on the other.

And the way to taunt Gerrard is to use the stalk that Gerrard slipped into last season to taunt.

Now that Liverpool is behind and very passive on the scene, these Liverpool fans can't fight back at all, they can only accept such ridicule in a muffled voice.

On the coach's bench, Rogers frowned and his face was gloomy. He thought that Everton was just going to attack for a while at the beginning of the second half, and then they would take it back.

But a full fifteen minutes passed, and Everton's offensive frenzy was still like a sea wave, rushing over layer by layer. There was absolutely no respite for Liverpool's players. If this continues, losing the ball again is almost a certainty.

"Daniel, Lucas, you go to warm up." Rogers turned to greet Lucas and Sturridge to warm up.

Lucas' full name was Lucas Reva, so Rodgers also called him Lucas, which was the correct name. Sturridge's full name is Daniel Sturridge.

After Lucas and Sturridge heard it, they got up from the bench and went to the sidelines to warm up.

Rogers frowned and looked at the field,

His love made Qiao Allen run all over the field, but the aimless and rather embarrassed figure came into his eyes.

When Joe Allen was knocked down by Kone again, Rogers couldn't help shaking his head.

"Look, Sturridge and Lucas are warming up. It seems that Rodgers is going to let them play." Little Redknapp said looking at the screen.

"It should have been replaced a long time ago. Now Liverpool's midfielder can't compete with Everton at all. I hope Liverpool can regain their footing after the substitution, so they still have a chance in this game." Carragher kept frowning At this time, seeing the two of them going to warm up, they felt a little relieved.

"Look at this attack first, maybe Everton will score." Gary Neville habitually poured cold water.

Everton attacked in the frontcourt. After Xia Ze led Gerrard away, there was a gap in the middle, and Barry went straight to Lukaku in the frontcourt.

After Lukaku got the ball, he carried Lovren away with his body, went directly into the penalty area, and got a semi-single shot opportunity.

Oh--

The fans behind the goal stood up, and a burst of clamor came from their mouths.

Boom! !

The moment Lukaku took a shot, Saka shoveled over and blocked the ball on Lukaku's shooting route.

Oh--

The Everton fans in the stands made another sound of regret.

But before their voices of regret were over, they saw a blue figure appearing outside the penalty area, and the ball that was blocked from the shot landed right in front of him.

It's number four Gibson.

Gibson tried a few long-range shots today, but he couldn't knock on Liverpool's door. He has already worked hard to score a goal in this game.

The ball just bounced in front of him, and he volleyed and shot directly.

boom! !

The ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball. Compared with the previous shots, this time the shot was stronger and the angle was more tricky.

Goalkeeper Mignolet had already predicted Lukaku's shot just now and fell to the ground to make a save. He just stood up at this time and saw the ball go straight to the dead corner like a cannonball.

He couldn't react at all, and made any saves. He could only stare wide-eyed, turned his head to look at the ball flying towards the goal, and prayed in his heart that the ball would miss the goal.

Whoosh—

But the ball did not go wide of the goal as he wished, but got into the net from a dead corner.

"Two to zero! Gibson scored a goal. It was a wonderful long shot!" Redknapp Jr. stood up on the commentary stand, and Gary Neville next to him was smiling, Carragher, on the other hand, was pale.

The entire Goodison Park stadium has boiled up, and all the fans stood up and cheered to celebrate.

After Gibson scored a goal, he rushed to the stand of diehard fans to celebrate with a kneel, and other teammates also knelt down to celebrate with Gibson.

Every one of Liverpool's players looked frustrated. After defending for so long, they still failed to defend. The team is waiting for the coach to adjust, but the coach has not given instructions for a long time, and they have been defeated by the second goal.

The moment Rogers saw the ball hit the net, his heart sank. Then he gritted his teeth and called forward Borini behind him to warm up.

Now that the team is two goals behind, he has no choice.

Five minutes later, Sturridge and Lucas stood on the sidelines, substituting on as they waited for the ball to die.

With two goals behind, Liverpool finally fought back and suppressed Everton in these two or three minutes, and launched a fierce attack on Everton's goal for the first time in the second half.

This gave Rogers hope. Now that Everton has shrunk, as long as he replaces two more offensive players and maintains a high frontcourt, it is possible to equalize the score.

But when Gerrard's shot was confiscated by Howard, he immediately threw the ball to Miralas in the frontcourt. Miralas got rid of Sakho's grab and passed it to Lukaku in front.

Lovren is marking Lukaku. If it is Kolo Toure or Sakho, it is possible to compete with Lukaku. Lovren does not have such good physical fitness and is directly thrown away by Lukaku. , chasing after him can only eat dust.

After trying to hit the goal frame with a shot in the first half, Lukaku got this one-handed opportunity. Facing Mignolet, he finally didn't waste any more and directly pushed and scored.

Three to zero! c
