MOTD

This team at the minute can beat anybody in the league.
After the last 6 games we shouldn't fear anyone especially Arsenal this week.
What I liked after the game was Omar's interview where he told our club reporter that Silva and he already have experience of winning at the Emirates. Intentions clear when asked about the plans for next week.

Probably because we didn't outclass them and we weren't dominant in controlling the game. We played effectively and well on the counter and took our chances but I think complaining that we aren't being praised more when everyone is gushing about how Silva has us playing is getting a bit greedy.
'WHOOSH!!'
You completely missed my point. I reversed the double standard and applied it to us to show how absurd it is.
As I said:
"Surely the proper analysis of today's match was Hull City played very well which prevented Liverpool from playing anywhere near their potential."
 
I always find it a bit contradictory how pundits often compliment one team for playing very well and then diminish that compliment by suggesting their opposition played very badly.
Surely the proper analysis of today's match was Hull City played very well which prevented Liverpool from playing anywhere near their potential. Rather than the insinuation that Hull City only seemed to be playing well because Liverpool were having an off day.

The double standard would have been even more obvious if Liverpool had won well, because then you can bet your boots they would have said Hull were simply outclassed, meaning of course that our performance was irrelevant because we had no chance of influencing the game against such superior opposition anyway.

So why shouldn't we adopt their double standard and say; Hull City simply outclassed Liverpool. The Merseyside team tried their best to compete, but all of their efforts were futile against a vastly superior Hull side?
Well said , tho I suspect their simplified and often contradictory analysis is to give warm buttered toast to "fans" of the hyped teams each season .

MOTD was very red sided, no change there then, I watched half an hour on sky at midnight that I'd say was more city than the red ****e... very impressed with the Italian and the pole... great finish by the Everton lad on loan...but hudds was different class... very enjoyable half an hour..
