What was the outcome of the Liverpool vs Everton derby?

Ed Chamberlin 0:01
It's almost humiliating the domination that the Reds have.
Unknown 0:13
That's four. In the derby, Liverpool have beaten Everton by four goals to nil. 37 attempts in total, 13 on target. Everton didn't have any on target in the game.

How did Liverpool dominate the match against Everton?

Unknown 0:25
We'll talk about that red card bottom right in a moment. One-way traffic, really. Look at the possession. Look at the touches in the opposition area. 64 against just three. That has to be the biggest differential there's ever been. And look at the passing accuracy as well. What a contrast. What a fantastic night this was for Liverpool. I'm sure he's happy on the inside. Daniel Sturridge certainly will be. He and Milner with Geoff Shreves.
Ed Chamberlin 0:53
Daniel James against your near rivals. That must be a very sweet feeling.
James Milner 0:57
Yeah, it is. Every derby is always a big game for everyone and the whole club, the fans as well. Until you play them again, give the fans that bragging rights when they go to work and see their friends and things like that. It was a big victory and we want to keep this momentum going that we've managed to gain over the last few weeks. It was 0-0 up until about the 43rd minute, but did you feel it was coming, the goal? Yeah, I think we know we could play better the first half but we kept looking through, we created chances and kept pushing forward.

What impact did the red card have on Everton's performance?

James Milner 1:25
We went in at half-time up but we know we had another gear and I think the important thing is that we kept going second half and came out and that was going to be important. I thought we started the second half very well and carried on from there.
Ed Chamberlin 1:36
Daniel, should I say well done with your goal or goals?
Daniel Sturridge 1:39
It's goals, isn't it? You know it as well. I don't even know why you're asking me. But obviously it was a great ball by Lucas for the first one and obviously Phil's shot and it's hit me, so it's my goal.
Ed Chamberlin 1:50
You've said it with a smile on your face, but you're claiming it. Definitely yours and your opinion.
Daniel Sturridge 1:53
Of course. Of course. No doubt.
Ed Chamberlin 1:59
Another two assists for you, though, James. Two against Stoke as well. Record high this season for you at the club as well. What do you put that down to?
James Milner 2:06
I don't know, really. I think it's always been a strength, a quiet strength, I think. I like to get forward and try to create as many chances as I can and goals for these guys. That's something that I work on and you just want to contribute, whether it's goals, assists or whatever you're doing for the team. It's nice to keep contributing, but we just want to keep this run going and finish the season strongly. Again, it's another good performance and a good bit of momentum to take into the next few games.
Ed Chamberlin 2:33
Joking aside, when they're down to 10, as soon as you come on, you're in the hunt for the goals, you smell an injured beast.
Daniel Sturridge 2:39
Of course. For me, it's important to be, first and foremost, playing, and secondly, when I do play, to contribute as much as I can, whether it is goals or assists, as Millie said. Today was one of those games where you come on and you want to get on the score sheet, and I'm glad I did.
Ed Chamberlin 2:55
Is it frustrating when you're not starting?
Daniel Sturridge 2:57
Of course. Frustrating for every player. But it's a manager's job to select his team. And all I can do is, when I'm on the football pitch, do what I do best. But, as I said, of course it's frustrating for every player that doesn't start games.
Ed Chamberlin 3:08
And what would you say about the run and form that Liverpool are in right now?
Daniel Sturridge 3:11
It's fantastic. And with all the work we put on the training field, with all the work that obviously goes on behind the scenes, when we go on the football pitch, we do have a lot of confidence.

How did the players feel about the derby victory?

Daniel Sturridge 3:21
And each game we go in, we have that mentality to win.
Ed Chamberlin 3:25
And James, can you keep maintaining this for the end of the season in both competitions?
James Milner 3:30
I'd like to think so. We seem to be in that rhythm at the moment. I think as a full squad as well, it's so important. The amount of games we've played this year, you need a full squad. And we have got a quality squad of players, a young squad as well. But when the other boys, the younger guys have come in, they've done brilliant as well. And there's a lot of competition for places.
