00:00I haven't been to one but people tell me at Goodison Park as at Anfield but it's

00:07always a fantastic atmosphere. Home supporters are there to support their

00:18be a fantastic atmosphere and that's always that's never easy to play up to

00:24play against because every single time they cross the halfway line or they get

00:30a corner kick or whatever happens the fans will cheer for that and then you

00:33have to be mentally really strong as an away team to resist all that your

00:39complete atmosphere and you still have to be focused on what you have to do

00:43I've seen the game of last season for example and I think we were quite ready

00:48because after 10 minutes the referee blew his whistle 11 times and 10 times

00:53in favor of Everton so the Liverpool players were ready to compete but every

00:57time they touched him it was a free kick so I assume our players are ready for
