Richarlison collected Alisson’s shirt after Everton 4-1 loss v Liverpool
Everton suffered a humiliating 4-1 defeat against derby rivals Liverpool at Goodison Park in the Premier League clash on Wednesday.
According to Sky Sports journalist Ben Grounds, Everton fans directed their anger towards the board and the manager after a gutless performance in the derby.
The Toffees fans were also not happy after Richarlison collected the shirt of Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson after the final whistle.
Of course, Richarlison is the national teammate of Alisson and Fabinho, and they share a very good friendship.
However, such a friendly gesture after a derby defeat didn’t go well with the Toffees fans.
Grounds tweeted: “Fair to say Richarlison taking Alisson’s shirt at the end hasn’t gone down too well. Those that remained in the Gwladys Street singing ‘sack the board’.”
Hostile atmosphere
The Toffees have now gone eight games without a win, and it seems there is no hope where the next win is going to come from.
The fans understand that the squad is not good enough and they have demanded the board to be sacked.
A section of Everton fans also demanded the club to get rid of Benitez who was never a popular figure among the fans.
Missing Dominic Calvert-Lewin is no excuse for such a poor, insipid and hopeless performance. Benitez has used the shield of injuries to protect himself from the blame so far, but this has gone way too far.
The Spaniard’s defensive approach towards the game is simply out of fashion. The game has evolved but seems Rafa hasn’t changed at all.
This performance is simply unacceptable.
In other Everton news, the Toffees could look to sell one of their star players to raise transfer funds.
