I know were you are comingfrom mate, it was infuriating,
The first half it was blatant Palace had lfc at arms length, liverpool restricted to passing the ball around the back four, palace sitting deep not allowing any space behind them (a good solid plan) and all the commentary wanted to bleet on about was how liverpool were dominating posession.
Also in that half Mane quickly slipped past Wan Bissaka, predictably commentary got very excited, the young lad did great to keep pace with him and made a well timed sliding tackle in the box........great defending..............not a word from Alan Parry
Townsends shot that hit the bar...........Keita gave the ball away very cheaply (2 minutes after he did a lovely turn in hte same area then ran unchallenged for 40 yards) which Parry creamed hard over, anyway....gave the ball away cheaply, fell to townsend who hit the bar, Keita made no attempt to get the ball back......went un commented on!
So if liverpool passing the ball along the back line in the first half is deemed "dominating the game" then palace's 2nd half pressure should be described as pretty much the alamo, the kitchen sink, fantastic attack effort to get into the game.......................................Nah, the worlds such as "majestic" "dominating" "imperious" were all reserved for when liverpool made a clearance.
I havent got a problem with them per say (well not as much as other people), they are a good watch, and have some really good players, and its obvious they are a good side, but its when the media turn a pretty evenly matched game into a completely dominating display that grinds my gears.
Zaha, Van Aarnholt, Schlupp & Wan Bissaka all had really good games on monday, not a mention whatsover
