LIVERPOOL, England -- For 45 minutes, Everton and Tottenham provided barely a note worth taking about a match between two sides struggling desperately for form and confidence. By the full-time whistle, there had been enough incident -- good, bad and decidedly grim -- to fill a tome.
And yet it is curious to think that, for all the drama, hardly anything has actually changed. After one of the stormiest second halves of the season, both clubs finished exactly where they began, which is well short of where they would expect to be, still searching for the victories that could get their seasons back on track.
