sh*t happens and yes it was bad. Been a Reds supporter long enough to know that every now and then results like this happen.
Some of the knee jerk posts on here are embarrassing to say the least.
This is the same team that is still with a chance to win number 20.
Looked out of my window this morning and the sky hasn't fell in, so c'mon fellow Reds onwards and upwards we go again.
C'mon the Redmen.
Guilty as charged.
Now sober, and with a clearer head. Im not going to change my opinion on certain players. Nor am i going to change my opinion on the lineup(which was s capable one by the way) . But the quality which was left out last night was wrong. European QF at Anfield ....
But last night ... its a result thats been in the making for quite sometime i think. We looked like we thought they would just come and try to not lose by too many.
We could not cope with their press, their intensity or their football. They were better all over the pitch. Faster. Stronger and much better on the ball. And of course, they did not make any mistakes at the back and finished enough of their chances up top in order to win well.
What got on my nerves the most was that we were just so wide open. Easy to play through and we just could not get near them. The 'defence' last night .... no words. Only Robbo could say he played well. We cant keep clean sheets nor do we look capable of doing so.
I was at the Madrid CL game and felt last night was more of a drubbing. They could have scored 6.
This tie, whilst not over, is as good as done.
This sunday the league might be done as well. Because if they play like that palace will fancy their chances , as will fulham everton west ham spurs villa etc.
Id like to think sunday will bring an angry response. A fast start and a proper petformance from a team that doesnt want a bus parade with just the league cup on show . My head tells me it will be a slow sloppy start and we will be behind within 5 minutes of the start and it will be another tough afternoon. Palace will be well prepared. They have pace and power.
Id hope and expect to see Alisson and Jota back in the team as well. This is it. 7 to go. Do or die. But recent performances, since the international break dont fill me with hope.
