Everton v Liverpool: Arne Slot reacts to home fans after what they did to him
Everton and Liverpool are at opposite ends of the Premier League table as they are set to face each other at Goodison Park on Wednesday.
Arne Slot has taken the Reds to the next level after he replaced Jurgen Klopp at the helm.
On the other hand, the Toffees parted ways with Sean Dyche and David Moyes returned to the club to ensure they avoid relegation.
Arne Slot waves as Everton fans boo him ahead of the Merseyside derby
Ahead of the Merseyside derby on 12 February, the home fans booed the Reds manager and he waved back to them.
Via X, Liverpool Echo’s Joe Thomas wrote: “Liverpool squad arrives at Goodison just as the first handful of supporters enter the ground. Arne Slot gave a small wave in response to the first boo he was greeted with. A smattering of others followed as the players crossed the pitch.”
The match against Liverpool at Goodison Park is not just another game for the Toffees but the final derby at this historic venue, imbuing the fixture with an unparalleled sense of occasion and urgency.
As underdogs, the hosts have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
There’s the understanding that no questions will be asked of Moyes if the result doesn’t go their way, given the circumstances.
However, a victory today would etch this game into the annals of football folklore, remembered and celebrated by fans for generations as they move to Bramley-Moore Dock next season.
Everton fans undoubtedly will be up for this game against Liverpool
The excitement among the Everton faithful is palpable, fueled by the rare opportunity to not only upset their fierce rivals but to do so at a time when the emotional stakes are at their highest.
This match isn’t just about points on the table as it’s about pride, passion and the legacy of Goodison Park.
Going out all guns blazing is imperative for the Blues to harness the energy of their supporters, who will be louder and more fervent than ever.
The players have a chance to create a moment of magic, to give the fans a memory to cherish as they prepare to leave their historic home.
This could be the ultimate farewell, a testament to the spirit of the club, where every tackle, every pass, every shot is not just for the win but for the history books.
