Great run by the nipper!* *copyright,one of the crowd from Roy of the Rovers annual 1978.

Our lion at the back. Helping Baz or McCarthy pick the ball out the net. 🙂

commentator on Selles "he's said that he doesn;t want to go back to being a coach. He wants to stay as a manager. And he would ahve wanted it to be be here.2 Well, maybe had he coached us to some wins, he could have had that. Sheesh.

McCarthy with a comfortable save, but a save. We have kiddies on, while Liverpool have every chance of sneaking it. A fair number of smiles between players. Grrrr.

We ended up a little light at the back there. A deeper cross would have had one unmarked on the far post. But Tino looking strong and skillful. JWP having a laugh with Salah. Possibly Salah welcoming him to be Henderson's replacement next season. And he's off. Let'shope that it's not the farewell, it appears to be. Henderson clapping him off too.

Lovely press there!

oh yeah, the other thing about SellesBall, if you don;t have a couple of energetic runners, you get players all alone having to beat a couple of defenders as Sulemana found there. In the end, he should have passed, but I think he was just frustrated.

That could have been a good break for us. But Alcaraz was all by himself (good Tino pass). Sulemana not close enough to get that ball. Our midfield have posted missing now too. Commentators are a lot chirpier with the bestest club in the world at least level.

'Bye Theo! Hi Tino!

And that minute you were away, left a gap in our collective willpower! You fault! 🙂

McCarthy with one of those save things, I hear 'keepers of other clubs do.

If it wasn't for us having AA on the pitch, I'd worry about us grabbing the winner.

We just dropped back, and back, while not addressing the threats. >sigh<

Oh for.... Just like us. Concede twice in seconds. ...

Grrrrrr. Allowed them a tap in. We've dropped back a bit, and aren;t keeping those early energy levels, and that's what happens.

Well doen a few there. Ping pong going on, but Bednarek gets it forward properly and a good run from AA to get a throw in.

That's the instinctive finishing we will be seeing next season. Goalfests await! 🙂 And extra fun, for that utter tool Henderson being the one giving it away. 🙂

Told ya!

Oh, F*!* off Henderson! Mo enjoying one last round of applause from the fans, after his sterling service, and he's all trying to push him off. Mo was walking off. Total git.

Armstrongs on, and with one of them being A Armstrong, that means goals!

Lyanco getting Gakpo booked. "Teach you for not joining us, you git." 🙂

I don't think it's so much that they are raising their game, as Selles' tactics are set up to exploit teams like Liverpool. Had Selles set us up differently, perhaps playing more direct deeper balls into Big Paul for example, pushing play back, we would have been able to put more pressure onto the teams round the bottom. Setting ourselves up the same way each week, just isn;t going to work,. And it hasn't.

Lyanoc might not have the most talent, but he's been getting about the Liverpool players tidily for a while now.

oooooh. so nearly. Had that Walcott pass got over, that would have been a super chance.

Alcaraz has lots of energy and is willing to get involved in various positions. But, being young, gave it away riunning across in front of the back line. A minute later he's up top. 🙂
