Defensively we are just so solid. Having Rice and Havertz in the middle doing so much of the dirty work really makes things easier for Saliba and Gabriel.
Oh wow. Nicely done. Havertz does very well to bring down that ball and gets a nice pass off quickly.
Some people just enjoy shitting on us. Go back and look at how we were talked about in the media. No one took us seriously, and we barely made a few ppls top 4 predictions, and then we started winning.
Once that narrative dried up it was onto
But we did, and then Jesus got hurt.
And we just kept on ticking, winning games and picking up points. Somehow we went from barely being worthy of top 4 to title contenders by mid season and the only team in the league giving City City a proper fight for the title.
Once people got sick of us winning, they started complaining, and out came the fun police.
Thank you sweet baby Jesus for getting Rice at a bargain price.
On a more serious note though, and I know this will run so many ppl the wrong way, thank god for Havertz and his versatility. I really don't think Havertz is as bad as people make him out to be and I think as time progresses he will only get better.
Overall it went well, and the icing on the cake is getting to watch us win. The Rice + Jorginho pairing has worked wonders, and I'm still shocked how amazingly well Rice has settled in and is playing.
Had a home reno to finish so I'm just watching the game now. Only 20 mins in and I'm surprised how poorly Liverpool are playing and at how well we are playing.
Me: I'm so excited to watch football
My brain: Zzzzzzzzzzz
Seems like I missed some interesting games this afternoon.
