Sports update

Mourinho: "Today we thought it was imp to have one of the 3 attacking players to be more of a runner and we did that with @JesseLingard."


Herrera: "Yes I aim to spend a long time with @ManUtd, but you never know."



Herrera: "The club has the capacity to bring any player here, so I have to always be at the highest level if I want to keep playing." [mu]


 Mourinho: "@JesseLingard is a different player than @juanmata8. Both very good players obviously but different players."



Robben: “Memphis is a very talented player. I'm expecting something to happen next time, maybe he will make a move in the winter break."


Mourinho: "Against Palace we thought it was more important to have Juan’s quality to hold the ball up to keep playing inside positions."


Herrera: "If I want to keep playing for #mufc I have to play very well because #mufc is the biggest club in England." [mu]

29 aerials won
19 interceptions

 Henderson: It's great feeling to come here, derby day and win. No better place to win away from home.


 Henderson on Barkley challenge: It was pretty late. I know Ross well, I think he just mistimed tackle, he apologised after game.


Klopp: Very very happy, think it was a deserved win in a difficult game.


Klopp: I can't remember one chance for Everton. It was wild football, they were chasing us first half. We can react quicker in future.


 Klopp: We were not surprised but we handled it. You have to let them run then they lose being compact and you can play passes.


 Klopp: It was a difficult game for Roberto Firmino today but he's so important for us, not the easiest moments for him.



 Klopp: Today was a real fight, a real battle, we were ready for this.


Klopp: Hopefully nobody really got injured today. It's our first Christmas party tomorrow after a win!


 Liverpool have kept back-to-back clean sheets away from home in the Premier League for the first time since August 2015. https://t.co/Db56vNLhj4

 4 - Liverpool have won twice as many Premier League games with 90+ minute winners v Everton (4) than they have vs any other opponent. Timing


 Koeman: Tough game for both sides. They were more comfortable on ball second half. Dangerous but did not create open chances.


 Koeman: The players had a great performance. Maybe the best 45 mins. Second half more difficult, not so dangerous. Didn't deserve defeat.


 Koeman: Intensity is difficult to maintain. They had good movements, strong team, their subs were difficult to manage.


 Koeman: If you are straight, you give Lovren his second yellow, Coleman his first. Only yellow to Coleman? Not a fair decision.


 Koeman: But what happened after is not a fair decision. Maybe a red card for Barkley, but Lovren starts reaction - already yellow.


Klopp: We didn't play simple and quick enough first half. Very important that you don't give chances away, and we didn't.


 Koeman on Barkley challenge: It was a tough tackle. I need to watch the clip back. Maybe it's a red, I don't know.



Klopp: It was great, intense, how a derby should be. Not the best football in the world, but take it like it is. Second half, we took it.


 Klopp: Clean sheets v important, but I'm not surprised. That's why these players are here. We have to be ready for Stoke, then Man City now.


Klopp: We were the better team. If you talk about 'deserved' win, it would have been LFC. I was never in doubt about character.


 Klopp: To bring really fresh legs in a really intense game, that's a good thing to do.


Klopp on Sturridge: Of course! It's not normal that after 2 sessions a player can really help. But he helped us tonight - made difference.


 Klopp says Barkley challenge was "harsh". Says Ross and Henderson are both lucky.
