OK Two question for you... Were we under any real pressure before Salah was taken off..??
And if Salah had been able to play on given to way we were bossing them do you feel that our defense would have held them..?
Mate... say it 1-1 with up the f**k up is a bit simplistic..
We may have defended to the 90 min mark and they score in added time..... The point was without Salah we were defending, and offering no real attack... That chance because instead of having to sit back to cover the threat of Mo, Marcelo was able to push forward, which in turn free up their mid fielders to get into the game
That's irrelevant, really... we could have been under pressure the whole game, we still had the quality to attack and get a goal out of nowhere exactly like we did, even without Salah. What we could not have done without Salah was scoring 3 goals to overcome the massive fuckups of a goalkeeper.
Of course Salah going off changed the game, but stranger things have happened and we always had a chance if we were able to cope with the pressure. As it happens the back four was doing a great job despite playing against a much superior midfield controlling the game. The only one unable to withstand the pressure was our dodgy keeper.
Seriously I think even Karius' mum probably blames him for the defeat, 2 massive fuckups of the kind you rarely see in football, both in the same match, would already be shocking. But then he went and did exactly that also in the biggest club match of the world.
If that had been LFC vs Palace no one would be wasting time creating excuses for Karius, people would just accept he fu**ed up and move on. But instead we see overanalysis to try and deny the obvious
