The tedious nature of the fallout from Everton's defeat to Liverpool on Sunday, in some respects, is a welcome show of consistency. If only that were a quality shared among Premier League officials, and maybe we'd all be talking about a different story to kick off this week.
All jokes aside, though, the discourse from the Merseyside derby so often tends to be the same - especially considering Everton's record at Anfield over the course of the last 23 years. It all boils down to one simple notion - Blues supporters being told how they should feel about their side.
Funnily enough, they don't need random pundits or fans from other clubs to tell them what they should collectively be thinking. They don't even need articles such as this one, if we're going to really get down to the nitty-gritty of it.
