Everton could only manage to pick up a 0-0 draw with Liverpool yesterday.

Theo Walcott of Everton looks dejected during the Premier League match between Arsenal and Everton at Emirates Stadium on February 3, 2018 in London, England.

Jamie Redknapp has told Sky Sports that he couldn’t believe Everton did not use Theo Walcott more against Liverpool.

Liverpool started with Ragnar Klavan out of position at left-back, yet the Icelandic international was barely tested throughout the contest.

Everton just did not use Walcott enough, with the winger often a passenger.

The Toffees took until the last few minutes to start utilising Walcott, and they began to create chances.

However, by then it was far too little too late, and Everton could only manage to pick up a 0-0 draw.

And Redknapp said: “It was the right side. All game, none of us could understand why they couldn’t come down this side. Klavern isn’t a left-back and it took until 84 minutes until they gave it to Walcott. It drove me mad! It was like a different Everton team for the last 15 minutes.

“I’m not digging him out but the amount of time Walcott could have made an angle, it was really frustrating to watch.”

Everton’s best chance fell to Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the final stages, but the striker screwed his shot wide.

The contest, as a whole, was a major disappointment, with Everton fans critical of their side’s passive approach.

The Toffees’ draw with Liverpool has kept them in ninth place in the Premier League table.
