Neville Southall has explained why he wants Liverpool to win the Premier League.
The former Everton goalkeeper made 750 appearances for the Blues in a storied career at Goodison Park, making more appearances for the club than any other player. “When I get asked whether I want Liverpool to win the Premier League, my honest answer is whether it’s them or Man City is much of a muchness to me,” the Welshman explained.
“I’ve never had any problems with Liverpool fans and we’ve enough to be worrying about aside from them winning the league. “I just want the best team to win it and if they happen to be the best team, good luck to them. And if they do win it, there might just be one positive for Everton.
“I imagine my Twitter will be full of people going, “You’re a kn****ad” but I see it this way: if Liverpool win, it’ll put the pressure back on the board at Everton and rightly so – we’re in the same city so we’ve got to compete. “If you’re in a racing team and the driver next to you has a Ferrari and you’ve got a Fiat Panda, you want a Ferrari because you want to race on an equal basis. “It’s going to take time but, with the owner we’ve got, Farhad Moshiri, I’m hopeful there’ll be a time we can compete on the same level again.
“We’ve a new stadium coming in a few years’ time and I suspect Moshiri doesn’t want to put a poor team in there. “At the moment, though, we’re miles apart and the quality of their strikers, in particular, can make a massive difference.”
