Still you buddy, we were gifted them goals. One good pass would not normally get you two goals in a game, especially against such a good team. They were an absolute gift that we didn't deserve based on those 90 minutes, your blind if you think otherwise sorry. The rest of the world is talking about how Utd stuffed us and we were lucky to get them goals, you think you know better than people whos job it is to analyse football games and the majority of people out there? No neither do I.
Football is a game of 90 minutes, yes, and based on our overall performance we did not deserve to win. I agree with that. For 80 of those minutes we scored none and didn't deserve more. I agree with that too. So surely we didn't deserve to threaten to draw! How easy it is to analyse a football game when you don't like Liverpool!
However in those missing 10 minutes we suddenly strung some passes together, brought Torres into the game, and denied the scum any quality possession whatsoever. What I'm saying is this didn't happen by accident - we clogged the midfield with Meireles rather than Maxi. Cause and effect. Never heard of it, right?
Perhaps we scored a goal more than we deserved in that period, but winning football games is about taking your chances - United certainly were not taking theirs! Point is, United were reeling when we drew level; winning football is also about confidence and momentum, and we had both. But rather than put them away we shut up shop, and took off the player whose positional adjustment had turned the tide. Having done that we simply let them run at us again, and the rest is history; Roy clearly forgot how much trouble we had vs WBA with Agger+Jovanovic on the left flank, and Nani is way more capable than anyone in that team.
Analyze what you want - we played well for 10 minutes and they seemed to have no answer until we made a critical substitution error. 10 minutes is not enough to win a 90 minute game; you don't need to be an analyst to know that. But you also can't ignore a passage of play where we dominated by putting it down to luck/mistakes when we changed our shape/personnel at either end of it. Had we not taken Maxi off but gone on to score 2 goals in the same manner, I would agree with you. But that was not what happened, was it?
, chill out, we are just stating the obvious and predicting how Roy would sort things out
