And we conclude our ramblings, moans and whinges about Liverpool with part two of this weeks Fan Focus, in which a top LFC writer gives us his opinions on THAT incident, and more... http://www.rokerreport.com/2011/3/22/2063807/fan-focus-safc-v-liverpool-post-match-views Thanks.
He wasn't very complimentary. Just adding my view on the referee. Terrible, simple as that. As a fan, I know how frustrating it is to go to a game and have the referee **** everything up, not being a WUM here, but you were already playing bad enough. Before the penalty it was just two teams losing the ball after a few passes, and then that changes it, however it was the assistant that gave the penalty. It was decisions after that which made me think, 'is he a Liverpool fan?' Calling play back after Liverpool had the advantage and missed so they could have another go with a free kick. Baffling. Obviously your performance wasn't the best, but Liverpool are a decent team, bar Carroll, who was ****ing **** again to my delight. His prediction of 10-12th is a bit of a weird one, I can see you being in the top 10, and he doesn't like Steve Bruce does he?
Typical arrogant 'sky 4' comments from a liverpool fan. They did create more chances for us but that was after we had setbacks. As our problem seemed to be after 2 players went off injured and the pen, our heads went down. As for Surez, not impressed with a fairer ref he would have got a couple of yellows, he was diving around all afternoon and his 'friend' just laughed and waved him on. We mentally have to be stronger, the wrong pen give liverpool a lift and deflated us, that is not good enough on our behalf. Carol is one dimensional and without their one world class player stevieg, liverpool were not that different from us, just lucky with officals.
TBH badger I know what everyone is saying about the ref but that just covers up our performance, it was poor at best. I know we had injuries but again, Muntari off and Cattermole on, Richardson off and Steed on, I along with many others would say that improved our team, or should have. We have some very good players and a very good squad and on their day they show we can be a very good team, the problem is those days dont come along often enough. I'm surprised any of us have any hair left.
Perhaps a little, but still I don't mind a bit of banter. That said, I'm not sure it can be argued the refs decision was anything other than awful.
