Liverpool 2, Everton 1: Man of the Match

It was the same old story. Liverpool the better side, up a goal, and then proceeding to waste a series of chances to put the game away before Everton took their one good opportunity and evened things up. The match seemed fated to go to a replay. Then Virgil van Dijk headed home from a corner kick, scoring the winning goal in an FA Cup derby match on his Liverpool debut to put the hosts up 2-1 and, in the end, win the game.

Now let us know how you saw it. Hitting the thumbs up button is a vote to move the player up the list—or to help keep them on top. Hitting thumbs down is a vote to push that player closer to the bottom. It’s half man of the match poll and half power ranking, and we want to use it to find out who you think played well after each Liverpool match and, at the other end, who you’d maybe like to see given the next game off.

At the end of the month we’ll go through the results of the month’s polls and vote The Liverpool Offside’s player of the month and, come next May, those monthly results will help to determine your TLO player of the season for 2016-17. Those visiting on Google AMP who wish to vote will have to navigate to the front page and re-enter the story to access the non-AMP version of it.
