Liverpool are simply a step ahead at this moment. We always start slow.
We did ok between their 1st and 2nd goal.
Liverpool were fortune to get the penalty as it wouldn’t have hit the target. And we should’ve had a penalty but it didn’t matter as play kept going and we scored from that.
It’s the usual time to gel with Haaland upfront. Alvarez is a different player from that point of view. And more matchfit. Haaland should’ve buried that last chance but he could well be knackered as he played the full 90 minutes when he wasn’t probably ready to do so. It will do him no harm.
I expect we are able to step up significantly.
