Chapter 146 Derby Draw
After the intermission, the side changed sides to fight again.After Moyes' tactical arrangement in the midfield, Everton was not in a hurry to equalize the score after the start of the second half, and the impatience after losing the ball in the first half was also suppressed.

Liverpool still continued the momentum after leading, constantly letting the striker combination try to expand the score on the field on the basis of possession of the ball.

"It seems that the derby is about to enter the rhythm of boring each other. This situation is the last thing we want to see. It's so boring." Martin Taylor said helplessly.

"Everton will not just accept the current score like this. I think they will find a way to equalize the score, so there will still be offenses, but they will not come as frequently as in the first half. Moyes must have noticed the impatience of his players during the intermission, so he is now trying to relieve the impatience of Everton's players." Gary Neville analyzed.

If Moyes had the opportunity to watch the commentary on Sky Sports now, he would definitely admire Gary Neville's ability to analyze the game after reading it.Because as Gary Neville said, Moyes will not be satisfied with being one goal behind now. He put the equalizer in 10 minutes, and it will be Everton's counterattack.

Since Everton put the opportunity to counterattack after 65 minutes, they could only defend the attack of Liverpool's striker trio before that.

Gerrard kicked the ball over from the midfield and passed it to Lin Tian on the wing. However, thanks to Everton midfielder Naismith's active grab, Lin Tian could only score it to Suarez who was diagonally forward after unloading the ball.And Naismith also reacted quickly and gave up Lin Tian and chased after Suarez.

Suarez didn't care about Naismith chasing behind him, but quickly dribbled the ball through the defense of Phil Neville and Osman in front of him, and got rid of two Everton defenders, but soon came up with two more defenders, so Suarez didn't continue to break through the penalty area, he knew it would be difficult.

At a position 25 meters away from the goal, Suarez transferred the ball laterally to captain Gerrard not far from his right.

Gerrard has also been waiting for Suarez to pass the ball, and he is also very sure that Suarez will pass the ball to himself, because not only Suarez, but everyone knows.

"Everton's defensive players were attracted by Suarez. There was a blank space in front of Gerrard, only about 20 meters from the goal. This is the best position for Gerrard to shoot from a long distance." Gary Neville explained why everyone knew Suarez would pass to Gerrard.

Gerrard stopped Suarez's pass with his right foot, and then adjusted slightly. The Liverpool captain swung his right foot and directly staged his long-range shooting stunt. With the adjustment time, Gerrard's powerful shot was not only powerful but also very tricky.

The ball rushed to the lower right corner of the goal. Without Everton's defensive players coming out to make a clearance, it could only be the time to test goalkeeper Howard.

Witnessed by everyone at the scene, the American national goalkeeper did not disappoint the Everton fans. He reacted very quickly and fell to the ground when the ball reached the goal. At the same time, he saved the ball steadily.

After saving the ball, Howard stood up and roared to express his domineering and brave state to everyone.

At the same time, the Everton fans also stood up and gave warm applause to their goalkeeper to pay their respects.The United States has quickly become the team's main goalkeeper since coming to Everton in 2006, and has helped the team resolve countless crises in front of the goal for so many years.

"Oh Maiga! It's wonderful. Howard bravely blocked Gerrard's long shot. His reaction is too fast." Martin Taylor said in disbelief.

"Howard did save very well, Gerrard's shot was also very beautiful, and this attack also ended in a draw." Gary Neville also nodded in agreement.

……

In Howard's brave state, Everton's defense was also stimulated, and the defense became more stable.Liverpool's subsequent threatening attacks were firmly blocked by Everton's defense.

In this way, the time also entered 65 minutes after the passage of one minute and one second, and Everton officially started its own counterattack.

Everton's sudden change of rhythm made Liverpool fail to react immediately. It wasn't until Brad Jones saved the day in front of the goal that the defenders on the field reacted to Jones' yelling, and everyone realized that Everton was about to counterattack.

After that, Rogers also played his steady tactical style. He replaced Lin Tian and Sterling, and replaced two midfielders on the bench to strengthen the defense.

"I knew that Rodgers would focus on defense under Everton's offense. He wanted to keep his one-goal advantage. He always did this. I hope he can have the last laugh this time." Gary Neville commented on Rodgers' personnel adjustments very pertinently.

In Everton's command area, after Moyes glanced at the replaced Lin Tian and Sterling, the corners of his mouth rose a little and then became calm in an instant.For his opponent, Moyes knows quite well. Rogers' approach has long been expected by him, and it is also the most important part of his tactics.

"There is only Suarez left on the offensive line. It is difficult to gain anything based on personal strength without any support. On the other hand, Everton's counterattack is getting better and better." Martin Taylor said.

……

The game time came to 81 minutes, and Everton was still trying to equalize the score.After getting rid of Joe Allen and Shelvey who came off the bench one after another in the frontcourt, Jelavic split the ball to Coleman who plugged in. The latter was scooped out of the baseline by Skrtel when he made a pass from the bottom, and Everton won a corner kick.

Fellaini made a corner kick on the right. Phil Neville headed the goal and was hit by Brad Jones with a single punch. The ball flew towards the top of the arc of the penalty area, and Osman had already run there quickly. Osman stopped the ball at the top of the arc and volleyed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.

1-1!

Everton equalizes!
After the goal, Osman opened his arms and ran frantically to the stands of the home fans to celebrate with the fans at the scene.

"Luck was not on Rodgers' side this time. The big screen at the scene also gave him a close-up. His expression didn't change much, but I'm sure he must be very upset in his heart. After all, the three points he got turned into one point." Gary Neville explained calmly. He guessed the result when Rogers changed.
