I loved it a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe spoke before about the five changes (from Saturday\u2019s match against Brighton). I speak a lot about the quality of the squad so have to show it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat they made of it was incredible. Divock\u2019s goals, Sadio\u2019s passes, Shaqiri\u2019s everything, (Adam) Lallana was everywhere. I\u2019m really pleased for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Everton, who have not won at Anfield since 1999, the defeat made it 20 derbies in all competitions without a victory home or away and dropped them into the Premier League\u2019s bottom three, with the pressure piling up on manager Marco Silva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Portuguese said he was not the person to ask about his future but added that his players were buckling under the pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe type of mistakes we are making is because the players are playing under big pressure because of the position in the table,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey are making some mistakes that are not normal for the level we are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After six minutes, Origi was the beneficiary of a wonderful pass by Mane, who curved the ball perfectly between the retreating Mason Holgate and advancing goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, allowing the Belgian to take a touch beyond both and knock it into the empty net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trent Alexander-Arnold then delivered another stunning pass, drilled 40 yards cross-field into the path of Mane, who nonchalantly controlled it and put it on a plate for Shaqiri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everton pulled one back four minutes later through Michael Keane but he and his defensive partners were exposed again soon after when a simple long ball by Dejan Lovren found the unmarked Origi, who cushioned the ball expertly before firing home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Liverpool&nbsp;then scored yet another brilliant goal, Mane breaking at pace from his own box, moving the ball to Alexander-Arnold, who fed the ball back to the galloping Senegalese striker to clip in a superb low shot from the edge of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remarkably, there was still time for Richarlison to score via his shoulder to bring a memorable half to an end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a much calmer second half saw Mane and Everton\u2019s Moise Kean both miss late chances, Wijnaldum completed the rout in the highest-scoring Merseyside derby since&nbsp;Liverpool&nbsp;won 7-4 in 1933.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LIVERPOOL:&nbsp;Liverpool&nbsp;delivered a first-half
