In the first Merseyside derby of the new Premier League season, Liverpool beat Everton 2-1 at home, winning five consecutive victories at the beginning, leading the 2025-26 Premier League season with a 6-point advantage, but the process did not satisfy everyone. Slott's team led the team 2-0 at the beginning (Grafenberg, Ekitic), but Gaye scored a goal back, and it was difficult to hold the three-pointer in the final stage.

Compared with the mid-week Champions League defeated Atletico Madrid 3-2, Slot rotated 4 players, and Wilz and Isaac, who were introduced for 116 million pounds, were both pressed on the bench, and the final appearance was not able to rewrite the situation. In this game, both sides played good goals in half. In the second half, Liverpool was completely suppressed by Everton. From the data level, Liverpool shot 11 times, Everton shot 9 times, and shot 3-2 times. In terms of fouls, Liverpool 11 times and Everton 10 times. After the game, the British media questioned the performance of several Liverpool players. "GOAL" gave substitutes Wilz and Isaac a low score of 6 points when scoring. The Liverpool Echo only gave the two people the lowest score of 5 points. When evaluating Wilz, he wrote: "I showed my strengths occasionally, but I am far from being worth it." The famous speaker Richard Kees said bluntly: "Did Wilz lack a little 'hardness' in the Premier League game with real swords and guns? He was invisible when playing for Arsenal, and this is the case again." The evaluation of Isaac was: "There is indeed information, but it is difficult to shake Ekitic's main player in the short term."

More than two substitutes were questioned, including Bradley and Sobosloy's performance. Bradley played in a very embarrassed manner against Galish. He made 4 fouls in the game, was beaten once, and only won 3 times in 10 ground scrambles. Sobo's performance was also sluggish. He touched the ball 70 times and passed the ball 41 feet in place, with a success rate of only 80%. Among them, all three long passes failed, and only one successful 4 crosses were made.

"Caught Offside" pointed the finger at another new player: Kerkez scored 6 points, "There has been a sluggish after joining the summer window, and this game is still frigid." In fact, Kerkez cleared six times in this game and successfully fought 6 times, with a passing success rate of up to 89%, and his performance is not bad.

League 5 consecutive victories! He played beautifully in the first 30 minutes, but he suddenly lost power after leading two goals. However, Liverpool was better than each other, at least this time he won the game without a final victory. In 7 days and 3 games, the Reds' physical strength in the final stage is inevitable. Even if Slot makes a rotation, he can hold the victory to the end, he has to praise his strong mentality. Next Tuesday's League Cup will be a chance to continue to rotate and breathe, and then visit Crystal Palace on Saturday. In this way, Liverpool continued to move forward with the "tough of the list".
