Shape
of Derby to come
By Leslie Edwards
Behind the office doors marked “Manager” at Goodison Park and Anfield sit
taciturn fellows not keen on saying anything “for the record.” That is why, when I
spoken to them last night, they gently, but firmly, steered the conversation away from
what, might or might no happen in the eighty-fifth Football League meeting of their clubs
at Goodison Park (3.15) today. What Messrs Kay and Britton have thought and talked about
in conference with their players is another story. Fortunately individual form-at-a-glance
for this match is something of an open book. The only form likely to be unreliable is that
supplied by the respective League table records ignore that for a start! It is certain for
instance that this will be a game contested in the new sporting spirit which has
characterized recent games in the series. The entry of the gladiators two by two, now
really means something. There were times when players entering the field shoulder to
shoulder took advantage of the opportunity to tell each other just how far they were going
to kick each other over the park that afternoon. It is certain too, that O’Neill and
others who will be making their Everton v. Liverpool bow will look upon the serried
thousands (about 80 of them) and will get the feeling that they would rather be at home
helping with the Saturday shopping than showing themselves off to a multitude half of
which at least is eagerly awaiting their first sign of nerves.
Shades of W.R.
Certain, also is it that O’Neill will be compensated by knowing that by the
accident of birth he happens to be keeping goal against Stubbins (fit to play for Old
Etonians) and not someone like William Ralph Dean, who had only to make a few quick
pattering strides towards a ball in the air to make brave goalkeepers tremble. Another
inevitability today is that Jack Balmer of Liverpool will come out to cries of “Good old
Jack-kay.” Whether Jack-kay remains Jack-kay or suddenly fails from graces and becomes
plain-Barm-mer or worse depends upon whether he is getting goals or missing them. It is a
safe bet than followers of Liverpool will not appreciate what he does however much
Evertonians alongside them begin to worthy when he has the ball. I predict we shall see
Nobby Fielding (sleeves well down over the hands and shoulders hunched) jog-trotting about
plying his almost unique variety of passes –with bits of spin and undercut administered
to make the ball arrive at Eglington’s feet “just right.” We shall have Jack
Humphreys standing on no ceremony and coughing his orders” with the authority which
marks him out as a born captain. And Willie Liddell with those billiard table legs of his
will be chasing up and down and if necessary “going inside” o hit a shot which O’Neill
may never have seen the like –that is if he catches sight of it at all.
Handy Andy
At some stage we shall have hardy Bob Paisley handling. He always does. Also he
will inch a few strides up the line before his throw-ins. The Everton crowd will
demonstrate against this ruse, but whether he gains a yard or two or three makes no
matter. It is the quickness of the throw, not its placement which deceives. Wainwright
will have at least one thrilling burst of individualism after which he will toss his long
lank hair back into place; Eglington will assuredly try to win his speed test against
Lambert though looking much the older will put spry feet forward and even if he is winning
the race Eglington may not always pass his man. And the Everton crowd will not be
particularly happy about half. And so to other inevitabilities of football between Everton
and Liverpool –arguments on the terraces, in the pubs; mascot canned music, the official
“proey,” the running commentary of Kay; the poker-face of Britton. What is not
inevitable? The result I wouldn’t know a thing about that until 4.55 or thereabouts.
Everton; O’Neill; Moore, Clinton; Grant, Humphreys, Farrell; Buckle, Wainwright,
Hold, Fielding, Eglington. Liverpool; Sidlow; Lambert,
Spicer; Jones, Hughes, Paisley; Payne, Taylor, Stubbins, Balmer, Liddell.

double in the derby
It Was Fast and Thrilling Football at Anfield
First Goal came After ‘Two Minutes’ Play
Blues Too Speedy for Reds
By Pilot. (Don Kendall)
Jimmy McIntosh’s headed “double” enabled Everton to defeat Liverpool at
Anfield today in a grand 86th Merseyside “Derby” match. This enabled Everton to score
their fourth away victory this season and it was Liverpool’s fourth home defeat of the
season. This was victory beyond dispute by an Everton playing with a speed and precision
unmatched by any side I have seen this season. Blame not Liverpool for defeat but praise
Everton unstintingly for victory. This football would have beaten any team in the country,
for Everton were tactically magnificent and individually brilliant. Everton were faster in
thought and action and once they were a goal up in two minutes they never loosened their
grip. McIntosh increased the lead at 64 minutes and only Shepherd’s kicking off the
goalline prevented him taking a third goal. Quite apart from his goal-scoring I think the
magnificent leadership of McIntosh had a tremendous amount vital points to the Blues Ted
Sagar made his 18th “Derby” appearance and it was the 13th appearance of Jack Balmer,
who captained the Reds. It was splendid to see the manner in which the spectators
responded to pack towards the centres and this meant no crushing and with the ambulance
man standing by waiting for a job. Mr. W. Harvey Webb the senior Liverpool director, was
indisposed and unable to go to Goodison Park, for the reserve match as planned, so another
director took his place. This was a comparatively small “Derby” attendance if one
could accept the freedom of movement on the “kop” as a true criterion. Liverpool; Crossley, goal; Shepherd and Spicer, backs; Heydon,
Jones (WH), and Paisley, half-backs; Woan, Balmer (captain), Stubbins, Haigh, and Liddell,
forwards. Everton; Sagar, goal; Moore and Rankin, backs; Grant, Jones (TE) and Farrell
(captain), half-backs; Fielding, Hold, McIntosh, Potts, and Eglington, forwards. Referee;
Mr. A. C. Denham (Preston).
Liverpool won the toss and quite naturally Balmer elected to defend the Kop. The
going was soft and Liverpool’s opening was swift, Stubbins getting the ball off Tommy
Jones as it bounced awkwardly and trying to bring Liddell into action. Grant stepped in
with a quick pass back for Moore to clear. Rankin allowed a ball to run dead and from the
goal-kick in two minutes Everton took the lead through McIntosh. This was as sensational
an opening as we had at the ground last season when Farrell scored in the first few
seconds. Spicer stepped in to clear the ball as it came looming through but it crashed
against Hold’s chest and bounced to the ground. Hold took time to get it under control
but he found McIntosh with a short pass and when Fielding was joining in the movement the
ball was hastily pushed outside for the opening corner of the game. This was floating in
under the bar when McIntosh leant in and headed through from short range. McIntosh had
followed the flight of the ball perfectly and the fact that he never took his eye off it
stupefied the task. Liverpool struck back to win a corner on the left which Liddell
centred far across for the in running Woan but the ball travelled a wee bit too fast and
Rankin was able to clear. A faulty pass back brought mix up between Tommy Jones an Moore
and with the ball running loose in the Everton penalty area, Balmer raced forward at top
speed but had to take the shot quickly and could do no more than hook it past the rear
post. Eglington cut inside with a 20-yard shot which however, he “pulled” a little too
much. McIntosh, and Eglington changed places and then Eglington burst through only to be
overtaken by Heylon so that the ball run dead.
Crossley To Rescue
The Liverpool right defensive flank were a little uncertain of itself whenever
Eglington became active and Balmer had to go back to try and bring some semblance of
order. Paisley quickly passed back when McIntosh was looming dangerous and then Crossley
came to the rescue of the Reds. Everton had been much the better side and McIntosh rushed
the ball through for Hold. Hold ran to the line and centred low to the in running
McIntosh. Crossley dived outwards to catch the ball firmly in mid-air. Potts utilized the
quiet through ball for Hold to race on and make a quick right foot which Paisley managed
to divert with his body and it went away for a throw in. With his but he took the ball
rather heavily on the body and had to receive attention before he could resume. This had
been a particularly bright Everton opening and they were varying their tactics
refreshingly from the short to the long game. Perfect men passing all first time between
Potts. Fielding and Eglington saw Eglington race away and force a corner and from this he
got the ball back again only to find Shepherd mantling firm. There had been plenty of
thrills; plenty of good football and tons of excitement but so far we had not seen
Liverpool whose position would have been made all the darker but for the perfect
positional sense of Bobby Paisley. Paisley’s little juggling act with the ball on his
head, he bounced it up and down six times, made the crowd roar with laughter and by the
next moment the crowd was grasping as Eglington’s left foot cross-shot was diverted into
the side netting. From the corner McIntosh let go a left foot shot which found Crossley
pulling the ball down with both hands. It was 23 minutes before Sagar had any work to do
at all and then Liddell lobbed the ball into the goalmouth for Stubbins to try a back
header, which brought Sagar a simple catch. There was more danger in Liddell’s low
centre following Paisley’s pass for Sagar had to get down quickly and the ball seemed to
come off his chest before he grabbed it with both hands. Everton were interchanging
positions cleverly and we saw Fielding at inside left combining with Farrell and Eglington
and when Eglington’s centre, screamed in Spicer took no chances, but headed the ball
behind for a corner, which Bill Jones contrive in keen away from Potts. Tommy Jones leapt
in to head away when Liverpool made a quick raid, and then Farrell came again in open
order after McIntosh’s cute back pass and Hold taking a shot quickly had too much lift
on it. Everton were making sure to take every free kick quickly to get the full advantage
of it, but now Farrell took one too quickly for the liking of the referee and he had to go
back and have another attempt. Following this McIntosh was so certain that he had been
fouled when brought down in the penalty area that he grabbed the ball away with his hands
only to find that the referee, quite rightly had ruled “no foul.”
Farrell Delights
Farrell delighted with some splendid ball control, and strength in tackle, and when
Hedyon swung in a centre Sagar was there to cut it out confidently. Potts put Eglington
away and from the low centre McIntosh and Hold were about to slip it through, when Bill
Jones managed to flick it aside, for a throw in. This was an amazing escape for the Reds.
Spicer’s free kick became a corner to Woan of whom we had seen practically nothing, but
Tommy Jones banged the ball to touch and this produced a corner to Liddell. This was
cleared with conviction by Potts. Heydon slipped down when intercepting Potts and so the
Blues had another corner which Eglington returned for Hold to head outside. Shepherd saved
a certainly when one of those quickly taken free kicks saw the Liverpool defence wide open
and Potts racing through and challenged. Shepherd covered a lot of ground to divert the
ball away from Potts, but following another free kick, Shepherd’s head went up to
prevent Eglington from coming through with a header. The corner actually started a
Liverpool attack for Eglington pushed the ball back too far and Rankin had to be quick and
accurate to hold up Liverpool’s sharp raid. The difference between the sides was that
Everton were that one yard quicker to the ball and seconds quicker in action. At times
Liverpool appeared to be standing still compared to the speed of action of these Blues for
whom McIntosh forced another corner on the right which coincided with the first casualty
young spectator.
One-Way Traffic
This brought more worry to the Liverpool defence for McIntosh, Hold, and Eglington
all made efforts to bring Crossley into action, but found their attempts diverted. This
had all been one-way traffic in fact Everton were dominating the proceedings just as much
as Liverpool had the first half of the Goodison Derby. The difference was that Everton did
not have the goals to show for their superiority. At last we saw Woan as he centred first
time for Haigh to try a header which Sagar saved easily. Fielding paced by Spicer,
to-ended a centre which McIntosh headed back for Potts to try a left foot shot which had
speed by flashed just a little too high. The referee had a word to say to Fielding and
Liddell after they had been in a close tackle and there was a lot of argument and
bickering before Spicer was able finally to make the free kick which immediately brought a
free kick to Everton in their own goalmouth. A brilliant back heel by Stubbins saw Liddell
spring in with the sort of chance he likes but Grant leapt in to divert the ball back to
Sagar and that was the end of that. Eglington went through from Fielding’s pass, and
receiving the ball back from Hold, shot as he was tackled and the ball flashed across the
face of the goal.
Half-time; Liverpool 0, Everton 1.
There is no doubt that in the first half Everton had recaptured all the glory of
their Christmastice revival and not for years have I seen football played at such a
devastating speed. Larely do we find Liverpool second best when it comes to speed and
action but even the Reds themselves would be the first to admit that for speed Everton
were magnificent.
Roar of the Kop
With the roar of the Kop behind them Liverpool crashed into action on resuming.
Liddell being the spearhead of the raid as he moved inside menacingly, and when the ball
came loose Woan hit a right foot shot which skidded by the near post. Liverpool gained a
corner, but from this Everton swept away with first time passing with Fielding eventually
breaking clear. Fielding lobbed over a centre to which McIntosh raced at top speed, and
although his header went outside he stained himself as he went on to the barrier and had
to receive attention. Nobody got the slightest respite with this football for Liverpool
were now developing as speedily if not as accurately as Everton. This surely must have
been one of the fastest matches in the whole series of “Derby” games. And the side
defending one moment, would be attacking in the next spilt second. McIntosh went to
outside right to make a centre which became a corner, but Eglington used the shot ball to
Potts and Liverpool were wise to the move. This fighting spirit of Everton was exemplified
by the manner in which Fielding saved back 30 yards to catch Liddell and force him into
touch. Liddell was working like ten men to try and turn the tire, but Grant and then
Rankin defied him and in keeping with the trend of this game away swept Everton for
Fielding’s centre to be too strong to be effective. Crossley had to run out to save
McIntosh’s centre following a quick threw in, and then Tommy Jones threatened by
Stubbins took the chance and called on Sagar. There was no doubt that Bill Jones had
brought a steadiness into a Liverpool defence too easily beaten in the first half, while
Tommy Jones too had settled down after his nervous.
McIntosh Again
Everton increased their lead in 64 minutes with a goal made and scored by McIntosh.
McIntosh on the proverbial sixpence tricked Bill Jones and pushed the ball aside for
Fielding. Fielding made ground before centring accurately to the far post and McIntosh
leapt over Hold and nod the ball into the back of the net. Everton nearly had another just
after, Crossley turning over the top another Fielding centre, and Everton won two corners
in the space of a minute as they tried to cash in on their advantage. The use of the long
ball was doing nothing, Liverpool on one leg, and only the anticipation of Spicer enabled
him to hold off Fielding as Fielding was racing though to an Eglington pass. Everton’s
speed of action had Liverpool chopped again, McIntosh flicking the ball to inside left for
Hold to take a quiet shot which flashed just outside. Then Rankin’s kick was headed on
by McIntosh for Hold to race away but the ball dropped straight into the heads of the
incoming and falling Crossley. There was no letting up by Everton who had set up a
struggling pace and were keeping to it. And it was grand to see the manner in which
Everton repeatedly switched play to Fielding unexpectedly. There is no doubt that Fielding
was one of the great man of this struggle.
