Liverpool have not lost a derby for 10 years but Everton have a 100% record this season and their manager hails a new attitude
Everton are everything that Liverpool must now become. That was the opening line of the Guardian’s report on the first match John W Henry attended as Liverpool’s owner, a 2-0 defeat at Goodison Park that left his new investment second from bottom of the Premier League 10 years ago on Saturday.
The big picture can change drastically over a decade, clearly. Liverpool’s value can increase by almost £2bn and still its venture capitalist owners will push for more. Some things do remain constant in football, however – Evertonian doom in the Merseyside derby, for one. On Saturday they hope, and with sound reason, that Carlo Ancelotti can perform his latest trick.
