The Football Show โ€“ Smith, Pope, Murray, Arteta and Lescott

So for Everton, you want to be at home.

But I remember playing in games at Goodison, the fans had a huge effect on how you felt and how you played.

The Football Show โ€“ Smith, Pope, Murray, Arteta and Lescott

They were the 12th man for Everton in those games and they're not going to have the fans and that's the biggest drawback

And that will give Liverpool a lift.

The Football Show โ€“ Smith, Pope, Murray, Arteta and Lescott

It will be presumably a pure football match.

The Football Show โ€“ Smith, Pope, Murray, Arteta and Lescott

And if both teams play well, you'd expect Liverpool to win the game.

So that lack of Everton fans in the stadium is a major blow for the home team.

And that's the fascinating thing, Alan.

I think it's whether the players can kind of self-generate that passion that you normally get that comes off the crowd in waves in a Merseyside derby or any derby.

Sky Sports Premier League Podcast
The Football Show โ€“ Smith, Pope, Murray, Arteta and Lescott

You say, yeah, there still should be an energy and intensity to it.

The Football Show โ€“ Smith, Pope, Murray, Arteta and Lescott

But it'd be very interesting because it's going to be a completely unique Merseyside derby.

The Football Show โ€“ Smith, Pope, Murray, Arteta and Lescott

We've never had a game under these circumstances.

Sky Sports Premier League Podcast
The Football Show โ€“ Smith, Pope, Murray, Arteta and Lescott

So the players and the coaching staff are going to have to work very hard to really kind of self-generate that energy and enthusiasm.

Sky Sports Premier League Podcast
The Football Show โ€“ Smith, Pope, Murray, Arteta and Lescott

I'm sure it will be there.

But again, it's kind of the first or second game back.

Sky Sports Premier League Podcast
The Football Show โ€“ Smith, Pope, Murray, Arteta and Lescott

So it's going to be very, very difficult because it's a whole new environment.

Sky Sports Premier League Podcast

And to have a Merseyside derby under those circumstances is going to be a test for both sets of players.

Sky Sports Premier League Podcast
The Football Show โ€“ Smith, Pope, Murray, Arteta and Lescott

Andy, you've got one goal, haven't you?

Sky Sports Premier League Podcast
The Football Show โ€“ Smith, Pope, Murray, Arteta and Lescott

The one goal that I scored.

I was going to ask you, when I joined Everton, it was very clear to me, I joined from Man City, very quickly you realised the history behind Everton Football Club, the success, the great success it had under Howard Kendall, European trophies and everything else.
