I reckon the Match of The Day editors made us look better than we were because the first lot of minutes were looking a bit ropey for us to be honest. They were coming at us, and the boys were clearly as nervous as we were in the stands. But when our big Virg nutted the first one in everything settled down a bit and we got into our groove. ManUre were pretty p1sh but as often happens, we weren't deadly enough to embarrass them properly, but thankfully we managed to stop them from equalising. Mo was working hard, but the magic wasn't quite tuned in for anyone, and with about 10 minutes to go, I said to me mate that Mo should come off to see if Minamino could conjure something up......
How wrong was I? So glad Mo broke his Man U duck. He maybe wasn't taking his chances, but to be fair he worked his socks off. And Alisson galloping the length of the pitch to celebrate with him was amazing.
Firmino's goal was fantastic from where we were, in the main stand, about a quarter of the way along from the Anfield Road end, 14 rows from pitchside, and almost directly behind him when he curled that shot in. I think that was the one that really did my voice in. Such a shame it didn't stand. I would say the ref was worth two or three players for ManUre, but admittedly I am very biased
I had an absolute blast, spent the day wandering the streets, soaking up the atmosphere chatting to allsorts. Love the City, love the people, love this club. This is our year lads. I think it is safe to start believing now!
Glad you enjoyed it fella. It's truly a special place. Sadly I only manage 3 or 4 games a year, due to being busy with work/family/general non-footballing life
