Murals have already begun to be restored near Anfield after some Everton supporters defaced them in the build-up to yesterday’s Merseyside derby.
Located just off Anfield Road, a mural of Liverpool favorite Trent Alexander-Arnold and Reds legend Ian St. John was blighted by blue spray paint while a disgusting insult was sprayed on Mo’s mural Salah located near the popular King Harry pub.

It is fantastic to see how quickly Mur Walls has acted to ensure the murals are back to looking the way they should. It’s amazing why anyone would consider doing such a thing, but all clubs have idiots who ‘support’ them.
What makes it even worse, as mentioned in the tweet above, is the fact that our No. 66 mural was created to promote and applaud all the hard work Fans Supporting Foodbanks have done and continue to do.
That’s a project best explained in its own Twitter bio: “A unique partnership between Spirit Of Shankly and The Blue Union coming together to address food insecurity, challenge austerity, and defend our communities/class.”
In short, mindless Everton supporters defaced a mural that was commissioned by BOTH clubs.
Hopefully this is the last time we see any of the club’s murals being defaced and the disgusting people responsible can focus on supporting their team on the pitch.

All the graffiti from yesterday have been removed from them. Great to see the team work so quickly to remove it and help the other artists. @JohnCulshaw8 @TheRedmenTV @TheAnfieldWrap #LFC #YNWA pic.twitter.com/IbQRx9mxSu
