Arne Slot’s first-ever Merseyside derby ended in frantic fashion following his side’s 2-2 draw with Everton.

Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones was sent off following an altercation with Abdoulaye Doucoure at full-time after the Everton man celebrated in front of the travelling Reds supporters.

Arne Slot then got himself a red card, after confronting referee Michael Oliver after the final whistle.

The Liverpool boss was of course angered by the referee’s decision to allow James Tarkowski’s late equaliser, but it seems like he was also frustrated with his own players on the night.

Arne Slot visibly frustrated with Andy Robertson in Merseyside derby

After a fast-paced start to the game, in which both sides grabbed early goals – Slot started to become more and more animated on the sideline.

This was showcased in the 27th minute when Andy Robertson decided to give away a cheap foul on Idrissa Gueye right in front of the Liverpool bench.

Slot did not look best pleased with his defender’s decision to say the least, falling to the ground and putting his head into his hand.

The Liverpool boss would later substitute Robertson, replacing him with Kostas Tsimikas after 69 minutes.

Robertson’s worrying stats vs Everton

Like many of his teammates, the Scottish international didn’t provide his finest display at Goodison Park.

Robertson was unusually absent going forward, creating zero chances for the Liverpool forward line, even failing to convert his one and only cross of the game.

The 30-year-old also struggled at times defensively as well only making one tackle during his time on the pitch – winning 50% of total duels.

The Reds no doubt recognise the need to bring in cover and competition for Robertson, as shown by Milos Kerkez’s links to Liverpool. The 30-year-old however must try and get back his reliable old self soon or potentially be replaced by the likes of Tsimikas in the short term.
