After a few dismal reviews, I had hoped to gloss this one with accolades, especially with a win over our fiercest rivels, but instead we were treated to this abysmal crap that continues to spew from our non-existent midfield. If there is one game that is truly terrible, this one has to take the cake.

I know the emotions were high with everything going on, and the tributes off the pitch, but we were never in the game. To make matters worse, Liverpool were reduced to 10 men late in the first half and we never really capitalised until Gerrard put them ahead early in the second. Although we responded with a quick equalizer, the game was entirely dominated by Liverpool.

We hardly had a sniff against a team with 10 men and to add insult to injury, we were awarded a penalty late in the game just to rub it into Liverpool, who really were outstanding and possible hard done by by the result.

With Nani taken off the pitch at half time, Van Persie stepped up and powered his spot kick into the net. It could nearly have been a 4th fluff from the penalty spot had Reina had a stronger pair of hands.

Overall, this was a contest between two shit teams slugging it out. We were completely outplayed, yet managed to take all the points by the skin of our teeth. I wish I knew what's wrong with the team, I really do. As of right now, if we face any of the top teams, we're looking at a very harsh thrashing and deservedly so. Utter shit.
