MotM- Phillipe Coutinho
(Coutinho ho ho! Started off slow. A corner kick and a goal for himself from his bro. So to the next round we go!)
Their clock confused me like hell the TV said 16 minutes, the board said 28 minutes, it was counting down, who does that?!
I sort of expected the crowd to be quieter tonight but no, we didn't shut up from start to finish Klopp's got us trained. Us still doesn't physically include me :'( I was gutted every time I saw an empty seat but last I heard parents are stuck trying to fly back from their holiday lol.
Had no idea what channel I was gonna have to watch this on cos it's not on English ones but don't worry Klopp's been the voice for us armchair (office chair/ settee) supporters "They did not show this game on TV? They show every f***ing game in Germany."The Sky reporter apologised and Klopp just shrugged, lol, proper rock n roll star!
Watched on beIN sports, thought it was pretty good, no annoying Americans I can accuse of not knowing football but they commited a much worse crime, made our game all small screen to update a Chelsea goal, NO! Bad beIN sports!
They did remind us we've been to 16 semi finals, 12 finals and won it 8 times so that was nice but then they talked title race and I'm like ffs talk about the Mancs, we don't want all this title contender talk on us, not until we're like actually doing it again, not just have strung some good results together!
I wasn't really listening to them and heard them say "sucks dick" or something (I wish I could remember) and I was like wait, what was that?
You should sit down for this, I enjoyed watching Moreno play and having him on the pitch, he could do all the extra winger play he wanted, hardly had to remember he's LB which usually plights his game. Commentators said he used to be a winger and got Milnered into LB late OMG that explains everything! His hair actually really suits him like that.
Clyne's 300th club appearance. I like never mention him cos he's just solid in defence and good going forward.
When I saw Karius on the team sheet I basically wouldn't accept it even though we were already told he would start today. He looks so confident but I did end up calling him a cocky shit when he did a pretty light kick (it bounced into the ground or something weird) that someone had to get to before a Derby player, made me think he's not taking it seriously, got showing Derby respect. Then there was the sliding tackle and I did Grujic face, genuinely don't know whether to say more please or be careful!!!He's also lucky a header went wide.
Klavan, Ragnar bloody Klavan scored! I'd sort of gotten bored by that point, if it wasn't a corner we'd have scored and I'd have missed it idly checking my phone. Definitely wasn't expecting that man to ever score, lovely heel in. That's the kind of unpredictable we all love!The last time an Estonian scored in English professional football was exactly 13 years ago, Mart Poom on the 20th of September 2003 against... Derby County. That's kinda creepy!
When Coutinho scored I cheered the wrong o, thought I didn't see a top knot on their head but it was a Firmino > Coutinho move tbf so he deserves the cheer too.
You wait all day for the next one, you get the Brazilians and then Origi scores 5 minutes later!
Can came on. Klopp was exactly right about him not being ready for Chelsea, he wasn't ready for Derby County! I don't wanna be harsh cos it's all minutes and recovery but I'm glad we'd already won when he came on cos he had trouble passing.
Ejaria got his debut and we got to sing Klopp's name with no complaints from theboss this time.
Origi when the other 21 players were like this game's done, he looked like he was bombing it everywhere.
Have you seen what Xabi Alonso did on this day in 2006?!
While you're on Youtube give Redmen TV a subscribe, they're really close to 140,000 (I wish I was in affiliation)
Next up, Hull, Saturday, 24 September, 15:00 (ffs, that kick off)
Right now I'm not worried about facing Hull, think it might be time to shake off the we don't beat those teams record/ mentality.
Sorry wattpad decided to take away the title and picture.
