Same in 91. Always the bridesmaid.
I assumed they were Liverpool fans.

Two fringe teams - weird game and feel to it - nothing like the intensity of the prem. we did alright. Can honestly say I’m the least bothered about a defeat than as long as I can remember. All prem teams left in it etc too. Not a bad evening out considering.

An audible NS groan/WTF when Lamptey was announced. Not one person clapped/cheered near us.

I clapped cos of that. He was excellent going forward. Not MOM and made a couple of f*** ups but I like to support the team and not groan audibly so a player may hear. Maybe I’m a super fan?

I pitched a Georginio one on here!
That would work well

In truth he was bad for both sides.Not like you and Hugo to have a problem with refs. Must have been REALLY bad
Gave us several fouls that weren't.

We were so disorganised defensively, Liverpool barely had to get out of first gear for an easy win. It reminded me of some those defensive displays in the second half of last season when it looked like we were down to the bare bones of players not good enough. We are supposedly meant to have a much better squad now and so much more options yet it just shows that you take out a few key performers and it all looks very bad.
At Anfield at least. we should have a much better midfield and some fullbacks who might tackle

More hilarious that he was given MOTM by the match sponsors. WTAF?

We’re in the NS so views of SS end goals are sketchy. Just watched the Sky highlights, the 3 Liverpool strikes are incredible.

Just got back so too tired to read back on the thread so probably repeating what other people have said mostly so sorry if so ..
A rather dull first half which I spent mostly berating Lamptey for leaving huge gaps down the outside right channel which Liverpool repeatedly exploited. Completely forgot Ferguson was even on the pitch, and wondered what had happened to Van Hecke’s decision making.
I thought after the first goal, the second half was much better for us - Lamptey came back after half time like he was on a mission - he really is better playing an attacking FB position it was ironic he was one of the best, if not the best on the pitch second half.
Ferdi really impressed me as did Gruda but Enciso was wanting - Steele made some good saves I thought - When Hinsh came on for Moder, Ferguson’s game really brightened up too - he really needs that MF service Ferguson otherwise he looks like a spare sandwich at a picnic to mr - he seemed buoyed by having Danny up front with him but a terrible off target shot on goal left me feeling my patience with Evan is wearing thin now - he’s had nearly a calendar year to find his form again but it’s not happening.
- Mitoma and Danny completely lifted the game of course. What a shame we didn’t bring those 3 on at half time - I think another 10 minutes with them on the pitch we would have won tonight but we lacked precision in front of goal for most of the match - the stats speak for themselves. Liverpool on the other hand produced 3 very fine goals and a brilliant save.
Ironic that Lamptey scored a goal after I left though - I guess I deserved that after screaming at Hürzeler throughout the first half to replace him with Veltman or Hinsh ( silent screaming!)
Some excellent and very fast footbally-football in the end and a joy to watch.
Was really annoyed that I left 10 minutes early to get the train back to Lewes and was suddenly surrounded by 400 fans sprinting down the concourse passed me. I couldn’t get on the first train and was stuck on the ramp for ages - then got to Lewes to find there was a signal failure at East Croydon and my train was delayed for half an hour.
A lot of effort to get to the Amex from London and back late at night, especially as I had to travel all the way down from Norfolk this morning first but wouldn’t have missed it for the world - it was Liverpool ffs!

I wonder if they get to go back and collect their dignity in the morning? Honestly, will give them the benefit of alcohol involved but even then…?!
I'm not too down about losing that. It was a good game, we gave them problems and showed some encouraging stuff.
The one thing that irks me.. In the car we were saying Lamptey is going to have no chance against Gakpo if that match-up transpired. First few mins of the game, you had Bradley, Szoboszlai and Gakpo overloading on our right.. It was pretty obvious who they were targeting. We surely had enough warning shots in the first half to not end up falling victim to it twice in the second? I guess Veltman had to come on at CB to manage Van Hecke's minutes, but there didn't actually seem to be a plan to counter something that was a very obvious weak spot that they were exploiting, which eventually cost us the game (along with our own poor finishing). Bit concerning for me.
