Just home after a hideous journey, an hour and a half to just get out of that cesspit and on to the m62. typified by standing in dog shite just before getting in the car.
Shocked at the utter decline of the area. What a shit pit. I honestly cant think of any where in manchester as bad.
Onto the game. The atmosphere was typical liverpool. All the weird culty stuff pre match, makes me cringe, then as we dominated that first 20 mins they were silent. Then they come to life when they got back into the game. They are the oddest crowd in all of football, totally buying into all the myths, fuckin weirdo’s. Its all just very emotional, screaming for all sorts, wildly cheering a throw in. Its all strange
Our performance was 5/10. Yep we got the point and i was relieved for it too but thats a reflection of the performance we put up. The players do seem to freeze at that gaff.
Alvarez was awful. Haaland utterly anonymous , his body language stinks sometimes , and although the service wasnt there for him, he also didnt show. The run he had from the half way line against van dijk i honestly expect more. He couldnt get away from a crock and then his shot was weak. I get slated beyond belief when i question haaland but i honestly think he can do better! Which is crazy to say.
Games like today show that KDB is on that downward curve that all players hit. Hes the best ive ever seen but it saddens me that his legs cant do these top level games like he once could. Hes still regularly capable of that magic but deep down i know time waits for no man.
Bad pass by ake no doubt but what the fuck was ederson thinking? Rash beyond belief. And now ive seen the pen appeal they had , doku was clumsy and ive seen em given
So yeah, when the ref blew, i was happy with that draw
