TAW contributors with talking points straight from the ground after Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Everton.
Trent Alexander-Arnold
Wish Trent scored. @jsexton24
Was on the pitch if he bagged. @PhilBlundell
Touches in the opposition penalty box today:
Trent 2
Lukaku 1— Andrew Beasley (@BassTunedToRed) April 1, 2017
Dejan Lovren
Dejan Lovren what a performance. @PaulSenior1
Think he’s probably man of the match without Phil’s contribution. @jsexton24
Lucas Leiva
Thought Lucas was incredible. Don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone win as many balls as him. @PhilBlundell
So good in the air. @PaulSenior1
Lucas was absolutely brilliant. @C_Hannan7
The Ev
They’re shite. It’s not that they don’t turn up, it’s a simple thing about quality. We have more and it was so obvious. @PaulSenior1
Ronald Koeman says he's really proud of his team. "After conceding we controlled the game. Liverpool were defending, defending."

Ha ha ha, mings. @Benjanijohnson
Little Phil
Hope that’s Phil back to his best now, had their defence on skates in that first half. @jsexton24
He had that kid on toast. @johngibbonsblog
Mane Fears
Mane injury doesn’t sound good. That could be him for the season. @RobGutmann
Chat with Jurgen Klopp @5liveSport "I've met Mane in the dressing room. It doesn't look too good." #LIVEVE #MerseysideDerby #bbcfootball

Conclusion
It’s hard enough for them to come to our place and win at the best of times as their abysmal record at Anfield shows. But when their manager gives it a big ‘we’re not afraid’ shout before the game, and we’re paying tribute to a genuine legend in Ronnie Moran during it, the team talk was done. If you’re not motivated in those circumstances for a derby you never will be. They couldn’t live with us. They were never in it. The Reds did Ronnie proud. Town. @robbohuyton
Was worried coming into the game about midfield intensity with no Lallana, and no Henderson. Thought we found a different way to play. We just let our quality win and the three goals are all a product of that. Lovren, Can, Mignolet and Lucas all have critics, but came up with the goods. Can’t help but think after these last four points we are now in driving seat for top four. @PaulSenior1

YES!!!!!!!
It all went so nicely.
Is Koeman sure they weren’t scared? They certainly looked it. Like last time. And the time before.
Our players were just so much better. What more needs saying? Their debutant gave some to our fans when he scored. Fair enough, just remember to suck it up when our Brazilian genius sends you to the shop for the Echo 2.4 seconds later.
Barkley is such a shithouse in the Derbies. Can never make an impact so tries throwing career-ending tackles about. Twat.
Is it true Lukaku played today?
Robbo gamely attempting the ole’ classic reverse jinx.
