Well that was disappointing.
Liverpool weakening their side in the way they did only served to further showcase how far behind them Everton are, with the Blues largely struggling to find a foothold.
Late pressure and a flurry of good opportunities from Cenk Tosun, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Séamus Coleman weren’t enough to break the deadlock, giving the draw a sour taste.
Jordan Pickford once again performed admirably, saving from James Milner and Dominic Solanke in particular, while Loris Karius saved well from Yannick Bolasie in the first-half.
Without a single booking or goal, the 231st edition of the Merseyside Derby certainly won’t go down in the history books as a classic.
That said, here is how we rate the Everton squad during this outing.
