In the first 20 minutes, Liverpool dominated the opponents, and had the upper hand at Everton's doorstep, both in possession time and shots on goal more than Everton, but Everton is not a weak team, under normal circumstances, the gap between them and Liverpool is a grade, under the addition of the home factor, that is, half a gear behind Liverpool, at their own doorstep, Everton must not tolerate being pressed by Liverpool all the time, and after 20 minutes, Everton opened the curtain of counterattack. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Everton's attack was still launched from the side, this is Everton's players suddenly concentrated their forces on the right side, and launched a fierce attack on the side of Reeser and Benayoun, Reese and Benayoun were still immersed in the attack, and they did not expect the opponent's attack to invest so much troops, and they were stunned for a while, and they were outnumbered, and they were quickly broken through the defense by Everton.

After a simple and quick cross-cutting process, Everton midfielder Osman slotted his way to the bottom line with an unguarded cross opportunity.

Osman also knows that Liverpool's defensive level is high and the goalkeeper is also world-class, so he passed a low flat ball, which is not very spinning but the ball is fast, such a ball may not be able to be grabbed by teammates, as long as it is very deadly.

Reyna saw the pass dangerous, but it was close to him, so he took the risk and punched the ball just outside the box.

Reina's attack was very resolute, and the ball was also hit by him, but the ball speed was too fast, Reina was fully focused when he attacked, and he didn't dare to be distracted at all, and he didn't have time to observe the surrounding situation when hitting the ball, and the ball was actually hit by him to Everton striker Yakubu.

Yakubu was also caught off guard, the ball flew head-on, he subconsciously stopped the ball on his chest, and planned to wait for the ball to fall before volleying the goal, but at the moment there are so many people in the penalty area, where will he be given the opportunity to wait for the ball to fall and then shoot, just on the way down the ball, Benayoun kicked over and kicked the ball out of the sideline.

Although it was a foul stampede, the referee ignored it because it didn't hurt anyone.

The commentators at the scene regretted the missed opportunity of Everton, and thought that if Yakubu could turn around and protect the ball, then Benayoun's pedaling would be a red card, or a little more agile reaction, leaning over to head the ball, maybe he would have scored.

This is the second time since the opening that Everton has formed such a chance, very morale, when the throw-in, it is obvious to see that Anicheby, who received the ball, made a very bold move, and even picked the ball past Pennant, who was marking him behind the back, and tried to turn his back to pass.

Pennant, of course, couldn't stand the humiliation, reached out and grabbed Anichepby's jersey as he turned, stumbling at his feet and sending him to the ground.

Force! Referee Clattenburg's whistle blew to signal for a foul on Pennant, but did not show Pennant a yellow card.

It was a free-kick near the touchline, and because Everton had not had many chances to attack before, Everton also took this free-kick seriously, and a large number of attacking players came to Liverpool's box to grab the spot, and Arteta himself took the free-kick.

Arteta sly passed a front point, Phil on the front point. Neville followed up with a header that flew towards the back post, which disrupted Liverpool's defence and was picked up by Everton striker Anicheby, who leaped high at the back post to smash the ball into the near corner.

At this time, goalkeeper Reyna was still desperately moving to his far corner, as long as Anicheby could put the ball into the goal, the ball would undoubtedly go in, but Anichepby was worried that Reina would be able to pounce, a little too much pursuit of angle, the ball just hit the post and bounced, and was kicked out of the sideline by Liverpool defender Hyypia.

The Everton fans in the stands were already on their feet ready to cheer, and even some of the anxious fans had already shouted and applauded, and they couldn't help but let out a huge sigh when they saw the ball hit the post.

Everton coach David Moyes on the sidelines sighed, and the sentence that most Premier League coaches wanted to say at this time came to mind, if it was Chen Yu who shot the goal...... There's no way, that's the difference between a normal striker and a world-class striker, between an average player and a superstar, and the only thing that makes Moyes happy is that the team is gradually finding their form and being able to create chances to score.

The Liverpool players who escaped death were about to break out in a cold sweat, and several defenders and goalkeepers cheered each other on, glad that they did not die.

The Liverpool fans in the stands had been singing before, and they were so frightened that they stopped singing when Anicheby shot, and they all clenched their fists and stared with bated breath until the ball was cleared, and they were relieved and lay on their backs on their seats.

Benitez felt a lot of pressure at the moment, and he was worried that Everton's attack would gain momentum, so he went to the sideline and made a forward gesture to the players, telling them not to play so conservatively, press up, and keep the enemy out of the country.

Even if Benitez doesn't command, Liverpool's players know that the opponent is on the rise, and if Everton's momentum is not continued, then the rest of the game will only be more difficult.

After Liverpool got Benitez's instructions, the players not only did not recycle, but moved forward about five meters, and not only the change in formation, but also the Liverpool players also strengthened the midfield scramble, grabbed the ball and launched a counterattack on the spot, and fouled on the spot if they couldn't catch it, in short, they didn't let the opponent turn around near their penalty area.

Liverpool themselves are stronger than Everton, they put down the rack to press, Everton's ball immediately became stagnant, and it became extremely difficult to get to within 30 meters of Liverpool.

However, due to Liverpool's formation premise, the space behind it became larger, and Everton began to frequently attack the back of Liverpool's defenders after receiving the ball, hoping to use Yakubu's speed and explosiveness to play an anti-offside position.

Liverpool's defenders are more than strong, but they are not fast, especially Hyypia, who is also older, and let him turn around and compete with people like Yakubu and Anicheby, which is simply hurting him.

In the 28th minute, Arteta crossed directly from midfield, and Anichepby quickly stepped forward, but Hyypia and Maas were behind him

Cerano chased closely, Anicheby's speed was good, but the ball speed was not fast, Anicheby looked at himself and was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of Hyypia and Hyypia, and just entered the penalty area without stopping the ball and directly heading the goal.

As long as the goalkeeper is attentive to a shot at such a distance, there is basically no problem, and the power of the header is limited after all.

Reyna was also well prepared, seeing that his teammates were following closely, as long as Anicheby dared to stop the ball, Hyypia and Mascherano would definitely have enough time to overtake him, forming a front and back trapping situation, so he didn't attack, just stood on the goal line and waited for the rabbit, and then waited for the ball to be right, and a side pounce confiscated the ball.

With the ball in hand, Liverpool tried to change the tide of the game, but Everton got excited and pressed extremely fiercely, and the front-court players worked together to prevent Liverpool from passing the ball to the strikers.

Liverpool's defenders were forced to pass back to the goalkeeper, and goalkeeper Reina drove the ball forward with a big foot to be on the safe side.

Now Everton is not only in good shape, but also has good ball luck, Reina's big foot was grabbed by Everton's defenders after driving to the front, and after Everton's defenders drove to the front, the ball was grabbed by Everton's striker Yakubu.

Some overly excited Yakubu didn't pass the ball and drove diagonally to the wing.

Because when Yakubu got the ball, there were people around him who reached out to him to ask for the ball, and Yakubu also mostly divided the ball before and went to the middle to grab points by himself, so the Liverpool players did not expect him to break through directly and was caught off guard by him.

Jakub seized the opportunity to take advantage of his speed to eat Liverpool full-back Finnan and go down to the bottom line to cross.

Although Liverpool did not defend Yakubu, but the protection of the goal was quite good, Carragher in the middle grabbed the header to clear, but his clearance was not handled well, the ball flew in front of Everton midfielder Osman, Osman did not hesitate to volley two meters from the top of the penalty area.

Needless to say, the difficulty of the volley is not a skilled star, and he is not Ultraman, and this kick was directly pumped into the stands.

Everton fans didn't expect much from him either, and there was a joking laugh after the ball was sent flying.

Everton have been attacking for almost ten minutes now, with three shots on goal in those ten minutes, but their counter-attack momentum has not waned, and it is heating up.

In the 31st minute of the game, Lescott crossed 45 degrees from the left side of the penalty area, and Arteta, a midfielder who quickly inserted into the box, headed the ball to his striker Yakubu.

At this moment, Yakubu ran past the position and was unable to form a shot, but the flexibility of the black man was really good, such an extremely difficult ball, Yakubu came directly to a barb shot.

Maybe it's the only way to shoot straight at goal, but it's certainly very difficult to hook upside down, and a lot of times it's just a matter of luck to score goals.

Yakubu's luck was good, not good enough to get this somewhat outrageous upside-down golden hook into the goal, and the ball just flew high over the lintel.

Liverpool have stepped up defensively, but with tens of thousands of fans cheering on, Everton's attack continues and plays more openly.

In the 33rd minute, it was Mikel Arteta again, who broke through with the ball on his own and crossed decisively from the left through Benayoun's crotch.

The quality and threat of this kind of cross from a 45-degree angle is much worse than that of a corner, and Liverpool's defenders are easy to clear with their backs to goal, while Liverpool striker Anicheby is still facing away from goal.

Apparently, Anichepby didn't have time to adjust his body at all, so he could only get stuck in position, and seeing that the ball did fly in front of him, Anichepby headed the ball back almost 12 yards from goal, and felt the ball towards the goal.
