“HE’S given it. He’s given it.” “It was Lallana in the end.” “He’s given it. It’s been given. And look at Kolo.” Look at Kolo. Look at him. We’re on top of each other, shins burning. But look at Kolo....
THERE are loads of mitigating circumstances. Loads and loads. You know them all and you can even probably include the weather, which Liverpool never got to grips with, and the fact that Martin Skrtel is on the pitch. But, to enjoy ourselves, shall we pretend there...
LIVERPOOL should have scored. All game Liverpool were more dangerous but Liverpool should have scored. Liverpool should have committed to scoring. The injury-time goal: The Reds are too open. Far too open. But I’m not interested in that because Liverpool should...
