Attacking threat and quality in the final third has not been a feature of Liverpool’s season so far.<\/p>\n
But the Reds seem to have turned a corner in the past few weeks, with boss Taylor suggesting last week it is a “shame that the season is running out” as his side finally seem to have found some momentum.<\/p>\n
After starting 2026 rock bottom of the WSL table and without a win, Liverpool are now eight points clear of Leicester before they take on Brighton on Sunday.<\/p>\n
They have claimed 13 points from their past seven games, losing only to Manchester United and Chelsea, and were rewarded for their efficient first-half performance at Goodison Park.<\/p>\n
They were, however, left clinging on to victory after being reduced to 10 players following Fisk’s needless second yellow card as Everton appeared from the break a completely different team.<\/p>\n
Having failed to register a single shot on target in the opening 45 minutes, the Toffees recorded 17 second-half efforts and will think themselves unfortunate not to have found the equaliser.<\/p>\n
They sit sixth in the WSL table and have now suffered back-to-back defeats having won their previous four league matches.<\/p>\n
For Liverpool, it turned into a lesson in resilience. <\/p>\n
They have dropped 11 points from winning positions this season, only Brighton have dropped more, but were able to grind out victory here in a dogged second-half display.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Attacking threat and quality in the final third has not been a feature of Liverpool’s season so far.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":500291,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[59,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-500290","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-gb","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500290","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500290"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500290\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/500291"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500290"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=500290"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=500290"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
