You could ask every Everton fan what their dream result against Liverpool would be, and I’m sure most would say that they’d love to see us nail them 6 or 7 goals to nil in The Champions League Final or some such. Though that’d be lovely, I’d much rather us beat them 1-0, at Anfield, with Hibbert getting the winner in the last minute. If it had been after a game Liverpool had dominated, it would make it even sweeter.
That’s how I want to beat them. For us to beat them 7-0, we’d have to be incredible. We’d have to be awe inspiring. Yeah, that’d hurt a Liverpool fan, no doubt, but they could console themselves that they lost to the better side. But on the other hand, losing at home after you’d dominated the match and had numerous chances to score (In my perfect scenario, Gerrard misses a penalty) and with the winning goal coming in the last minute from a man who had never scored before? That would stick in your throat for months, possibly even forever. Liverpool fans like to say Everton fans are bitter, and no doubt there’s some truth to that, but the only group of fans with a sour taste in their mouths after a result like that would be the ones in the red shirts.
Delicious.
