Welcome to my blog! I'll be here after every Liverpool game this season, giving my thoughts and views on the game, my player ratings, and probably the occasional rant. Feel free to comment, share, or get involved via social media. You'll find me on Twitter as @MNunny91. All abuse and opinion is welcomed.
My blood pressure can't take much more of this. I mean, bloody hell, that was an absolute roller-coaster of emotions. Frustration at another drab opening 45, pure red faced anger at VAR telling me Firmino's fucking armpit was offside, and then pure run around your living room like a lunatic elation when Sadio nods in that corner. The beautiful little fucker. What a win. What a team. They just never lie down, we refuse to be beaten.
I'd like us to start games better. This was another pretty drab opening 45 minutes. Really flat, maybe it was the shock of actually playing at 3pm on a Saturday afternoon, the rarest of rare beasts. This had the makings of a tricky game and it certainly was. I have to admit, when I logged on to Instagram and saw the lineup with 'Lallana' on it rather than the absolute collusus that is Fabinho, I was panic stricken. I'm not having him as a number 6 I'm afraid. Yes he's tidy on the ball, decent passer and all that, but he can't smell danger and he's as weak as a kitten. Honestly you could blow the fella over, must weigh 8 stone soaking wet. He did his best but having him come in for Fabs reminded of when I smashed my sporty little Volvo C30 into a 6 foot tall deer and received a fucking Nissan Micra as a courtesy car. I can't bring myself to talk about VAR again. How that is offside against Firmino I will never know. How can your armpit score a goal? And then to top it off, their centre half practically catches it and it doesn't even get checked. Just bin it off, I'm so sick and tired of mentioning it. We are talking about VAR more than we ever were the officials. That can't be right.
When my Arabian live stream was working, which was very intermittently, the front 3 were having an absolute mare. Get in a good position, have options a plenty, pick the wrong one or fall over, repeat. So many times. The one second half where Hendo has 2 to pick out with a 10 yard pass and he just knocks it straight at their centre half nearly gave me an aneurism. My phone was very close to being sent to early cracked screen grave on numerous occasions. It had all the makings of 'one of those days', it really did, but this group of players are really something else. The best Liverpool team I've seen in my lifetime by a country mile. Every time we're in a corner, up against a wall, when all hope looks lost, someone always comes up with a moment of magic. Mane was absolutely shocking for 80 minutes, and then comes up with a goal and assist. Mental strength at its absolute finest.
Time will tell, but that had all the hallmarks of a title winning result. We've only played 11 games but that just felt absolutely gargantuan. I was expecting Jurgen to run on the pitch and smash his glasses again. I keep going on about it, but City next week is just huge. Anfield will a bear pit. I can't wait, what an opportunity for us. Guardiola can fuck off as well, the bald prick. Calling out Mane at the weekend, we live rent free in his swede and I really want us to smash those tippy tappy fuckers. It's becoming the leagues new rivalry and I'm for it. Those Arsenal v United games, back when they were good at football, were unreal. Roy Keane trying to scrap with Patty Vieria in the tunnel, just all out war for 90 minutes. Bring it on. Before that, we've got those little Belgian lads again on Tuesday which should be a cake walk, I imagine we'll see some rotation with the big one in mind. See you then! Up the Reds.
Ratings
Big Ali - Not his fault for the goal but at the time I'm used to him saving those so it wound me up. Did well in general, mopped up that through ball at the end when we were playing the highest line ever seen. 6.
Robbo - What an absolute bloke. 87th minute, I'm just gonna sprint 70 yards and twat a header in the top bin, show you lot how it's done. Just a diamond of a player. Love him. 8.
Dejan - I thought he was better than Van Dijk. More parallel universe stuff. Did alright against that massive fucker who's got about 17 kids. 7.
Virg - I know he's the best player that's ever played the game, but I reckon it's gone to his head. Keeps pinging balls to nobody. 6.
Trent - Mad that your best source of creation is a right back. Everything goes through him. I thought he was superb again, always looking to get forwards. Ball for Sadio's headed chance was an absolute joke. 8.
Lallana - Wasn't Fabinho. Probably a good decision to not risk the suspension but I missed him in there. Missed a sitter late on, barely made contact with it. 87 Cruyff turns. Iraqi bloke commentating on my stream couldn't pronounce his name. 6.
Gini - Was absolutely phenomenal apparently. Just a shame he wore that invisibility cloak he brings to away games every other week. 5.
Henderson - Was dire for an hour then remembered what he's in the team to do. Run around like a maniac and give it to the lads who can play football. 6.
Mo - Dreadful. Absolutely shite. Couldn't trap a bag of sand and couldn't pass 5 yards. Good bollocks from Jurgen to sub him. Should have happened sooner if anything. 5.
Robby Bob - Dropped deeper and deeper and deeper as it went on because no fucker could pass 5 yards. Ran his bollocks off as always. 6.
Mane - Dire for 80 minutes. Having an absolute stinker, then sticks the most perfect ball in with his wrong foot for Robbo, and nods in a 94th minute winner. What a player. 8.
Subs
The Ox - Got on the ball and tried to make things happen. Forced it a bit too much at times but I'm enjoying him at the moment. Should start midweek. 6.
Div - Didn't really do much but neither did Salah so who cares. Like bringing a lamppost on for a traffic cone. 5.
Naby - Miracle recovery from his injury midweek, otherwise known as 'I am absolutely having one and I fancy an early bath'. He was fine. 5.
