I came to share my thoughts on the match last night, having been at Anfield also (Anni road end), but don’t need to bother as you’ve taken away the same as me.
Couple of small things to mention - Kelleher’s positioning for the double save was excellent, and the relentless fireworks (all night) were a bit of fun. From what I understand, it came through on the telly.
Top night. Looking forward to being back for the Real Madrid tie.
Just a reminder that this stretch of seven games - Chelsea, Leipzig, Arse, Brighton, Brighton, Leverkusen, Villa - was said by many to be a true measure of our improvement under Slot and whether we’d actually compete this season or not.
We’re at five wins and a draw so far with Villa to come on the weekend. Fuck the haters.
I think the right time to judge the Liverpool side is when they’ve played a top team, except Liverpool have all had their shoelaces tied together and aren’t allowed a keeper.
We didn’t get into our seats until 15 mins before KO so missed the initial reception for him during the warm up, but his name was sung out towards the end of the game after Arne Slots name was sung. Not sure if that came through the audio on telly.
I don’t get this Bayer were dangerous in the first half take. Granted they knocked ball around but created absolutely nothing it got to the 60 minute mark and they had 1 shot on target.
Much more relaxed we can stroll our way to 3 points. Our defensive structure is as the stats would suggest it is, the best in Europe. Fewest goals conceded, fewest xG against.
We made Milan, Leipzig and now Leverkusen look leagues below us, Bologna have given us our toughest game in the CL.
I thought if I did ten, then it would start off funny, get less funny, then get actively irritating, then the repetition would start to get funny again, then the sheer audacity would make it hilarious by the end.
