View from the Gwladys Street: Pickford’s mistake, Klopp’s reaction and why derby defeat shows progression

As Merseyside derby defeats go, that one is up there for complete and utter final whistle deflation. For the first time in a long time, Everton went there without any fear and matched Liverpool all the way. For a mistake like that at the very end to turn the game on its head, it was absolutely devastating.

This week, the fan podcast is brought to you by host Ian Croll and glasses half full guests, Connor O’Neill and Graham Callaghan. The lads are hurting but confidence is still high and six points over the next two games is a must. With Newcastle on Wednesday, the lads preview what’s to come, but the majority of the podcast is spent looking back over Everton’s 1-0 defeat to Liverpool.

The performance, the chances, the mistake by Pickford, the progression and Klopp’s reaction are all discussed. Questions submitted by fans in the Royal Blue Facebook podcast group are also read out at the end. Give it a listen.
