Everton Manager Brian Sørensen Eyes Merseyside Derby Victory
As the highly anticipated Merseyside derby approaches, Everton manager Brian Sørensen has expressed his team’s desperation to secure a win against Liverpool at Goodison Park on Sunday. The Toffees are yet to record a victory in the Barclays Women’s Super League this season, and Sørensen believes this high-pressure match could be the catalyst for kick-starting their campaign.
“A derby match is always special, but we’re eager to get our first win of the season,” Sørensen said in the pre-match press conference. “We want to win this so badly, not just for ourselves, but for the fans and everyone associated with Everton.”
Sørensen acknowledged Liverpool’s strength, citing their squad depth as a significant advantage. “They’ve recruited well, bringing in Olivia Smith, and have a solid base with their centre-backs,” he noted. “Their performances this season have been similar to ours, but they have more depth to rely on.”
Despite the challenge, Sørensen remains focused on his team’s preparation. “We’ll analyze Liverpool’s strengths and weaknesses, determine our best lineup, and aim to hurt them in key moments,” he explained.
The match marks the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, adding to the occasion’s significance. Sørensen recognizes the nerves that come with such an important game but is confident his team will remain focused.
“Playing at Goodison Park is legendary, and everyone wants to experience it,” he said. “Meg Finnigan, who has played in numerous derbies, will still feel some nerves, but we’ll concentrate on the task at hand.”
Everton’s determination to secure their first win of the season is palpable, and Sørensen’s strategy will be crucial in achieving that goal.
