Merseyside Derby Challenge: Name Everton’s 3-0 Winning Lineup Against Liverpool

Okay, let me try to tackle this. So the user wants me to shorten the provided content to about 650 words and add some pictures. First, I need to understand what the original content is about. It looks like it’s an article from the Daily Mail about a football memory game called Teamsheet, specifically focusing on Everton’s 2006 win over Liverpool. The main points here are the challenge to name Everton’s starting lineup from that match and instructions on how to play the game.

Alright, the first step is to condense the article. The original seems a bit verbose, especially with all the embedded HTML and links. But the user provided the content within the div with id js-article-text, which includes the author info, timestamps, and the main body. My job is to extract the essential information and rephrase it concisely.

Looking at the main body, there’s an intro about Everton vs Liverpool, the significance of the derby, the 2006 match under David Moyes, and the challenge to name the team. Then there’s a section explaining how to play the game, with point scoring based on correct guesses. The rest includes share buttons, comments, ads, etc., which can be omitted.

So to shorten this, I need to keep the core elements: the derby context, the challenge, and the game instructions. The author and timestamps might not be necessary unless the user wants them. The original is around 700-800 words? Not sure, but aiming for 650 words. I’ll need to paraphrase paragraphs, combine some sentences, and eliminate redundant parts.

Next, adding pictures. The user already included an image link at the top. Maybe insert another relevant image, perhaps of Goodison Park or David Moyes. But since the user provided an image, maybe they want that one included, and perhaps another. The instructions say "adding some pictures," so at least two. I need to use image links related to Everton, Liverpool derby, or David Moyes. However, I should check if the images are from the same source or need attribution.

Wait, the user’s original image link is from dailymail.co.uk, so perhaps using their images is okay. I’ll need to find another relevant image URL from their site. Alternatively, the user might want me to suggest placeholders or specific images. Since the example provided uses an image from dailymail, maybe another one from their site, like a historic derby moment or the 2006 match.

I’ll structure the summarized article as follows:

• Headline
• Introduction to the game and context of the derby
• Challenge to name the Everton lineup
• How to play (condensed instructions)
• Encourage sharing and participation

I’ll need to ensure the word count is around 650. Also, replacing the existing image tag with appropriate Markdown images. Since the user provided an image, maybe use that as the main image and add another, perhaps of the 2006 team or Goodison Park.

Wait, the original image link given is from 2025-02-10, but the article is dated 2025-02-11. That might be a future date. Hmm, but that’s probably a typo or placeholder. Anyway, sticking to the existing image URL provided.

I’ll check for key points: Everton’s 3-0 win in 2006 under Moyes, the challenge, how to play, scoring system. Trim down the explanation of the game to the essentials. Remove repetitive sentences and combine where possible.

Let me start drafting.

First paragraph: Introduce Teamsheet as Mail Sport’s memory game, mention the upcoming Merseyside derby being the last at Goodison, the 2006 win under Moyes, and invite readers to guess the starting lineup.

Second paragraph: Briefly explain how the game works—fewest points by guessing players quickly, green/yellow letters, six guesses, penalties for fails, etc. Make it concise.

Third paragraph: Encourage sharing scores, mention the lowest and highest possible scores for engagement.

Include images where relevant. Since the user already has an image, perhaps insert another after the instructions. Use Markdown formatting for images, like .

Check word count. Original text in the articleBody div is about 300 words. Expanding a bit, but need to ensure the total is around 650. Wait, maybe the original HTML includes more text, but according to the given code, the articleBody has several paragraphs. Let me recheck.

Original content includes:

• First paragraph: intro to Teamsheet.

• Second para: Everton vs Liverpool derby, context, Moyes, 2006 win, challenge to name the team.

• Third para: Instructions to play, using the factbox.

• Then how to play section with scoring.

The original text is split into

tags, but the user wants it condensed to ~650 words. Since the HTML is included, perhaps the text is longer. Let me count:

Word count of the articleBody:

First paragraph: 27 words.

Second para: 72 words.

Third para: 23 words.

Fourth para: "Best of luck!" – 3 words.

How to play section: 5 paragraphs, ~130 words.

So total is roughly 255 words, plus instructions. Wait, maybe the original full article is longer, but based on the provided code, this is the content. But the user wants it shortened to 650 words, so perhaps the original was longer? Maybe the user pasted a part of the article.

Wait, the initial instruction says "rewrite with Shorten this content to about 650 words", but the provided content includes HTML with articleBody, etc. It looks like the HTML might be more complex, but in reality, the main text is under the div with itemprop="articleBody". Looking at that, the main text is:

Welcome back to Teamsheet… Mail Sport’s original football memory game with a twist that gives you the chance to test your football knowledge against your mates.

Everton face the tough task of beating runaway league leaders Liverpool in the Merseyside derby tomorrow – the last ever to be played at Goodison Park. Things have been better in recent times, though, under David Moyes, and it was he who oversaw a 3-0 win in this very fixture back in 2006 – and we want to know if you can name the team that started for the Toffees that day.

It’s just for fun, so see how you fare and share your Teamsheet score… full instructions on how to play are at the bottom of the article and in the game itself.

Best of luck!

Then the factbox with HOW TO PLAY, which has about 5 short paragraphs.

Total words: around 150 words. So the user’s original content is much shorter, but in the provided problem, perhaps it’s more? Oh, perhaps there was an error in the user input, where the problem includes a lot of HTML but the actual article content isn’t that long. Because looking at the code, the main text under the articleBody div is only those five paragraphs, making the total about 150 words. But the user wants it shortened to 650 words. That’s confusing.

Wait, perhaps the user provided the entire HTML of the article page, including a lot of scripts, links, ads, etc., but the actual article part is shorter. In that case, they want me to shorten it to 650 words. However, the main text they want to condense is the article part, not the entire HTML. So maybe misunderstanding the original problem.

Regardless, based on the provided content, the article body is about 150 words, and the user is asking to shorten it to around 650, but that doesn’t make sense. Alternatively, maybe the user wants to expand it to 650? Wait, the original instruction says "shorten this content to about 650 words," but the provided content is already shorter. Perhaps the user intended to include more content, but the HTML got cut off, or maybe I need to work with the given text.

Alternatively, perhaps there was a mistake in the problem statement, and the actual original text is longer. But in any case, given the content provided, I’ll proceed to condense it as much as possible, keeping the core info and adding images where appropriate.

In the original message, the user included an image link that’s probably related to the derby. Then, within the articleBody div, the content is about the Teamsheet game. The how-to-play section is in the factbox.

The user may want to present the Teamsheet challenge in a concise article format, around 650 words, with images. But since the current text is already short, maybe the task is to rephrase and present it clearly, adding emphasis and structure with images.

Perhaps splitting into sections with headings, images, bullet points for the instructions. But since the user hasn’t specified using headings, they might want it as continuous text. However, given the instruction to add pictures, inserting relevant images in appropriate places.

In conclusion, I’ll rephrase the existing content concisely, possibly expand a bit on the context of the 2006 match for better engagement, include the image provided by the user, suggest another image related to the topic, and structure the how-to-play section clearly. The final answer should be a condensed version, around 650 words (though the original seems shorter, so maybe the user had more content in mind), with images added.
