1. Liverpool were lucky
Get me on a plane to Vegas with Brendan Rodgers, because Liverpool were really fucking lucky today.
- Yaya Toure limped off after 20 minutes. The guy that could still win the Player of the Year award (him or Suarez for me; different story for a different day) leaves the game after 20 minutes. Nightmare. They were already 1-0 up, and City were without Agüero... this made the job so much easier for Liverpool. Not to mention, he was replaced by Javi Garcia, the most useless midfielder I've ever seen, and I've seen Anderson.
- Joe Hart was utter shit today. Actually, just in general he's utter shit, but today it was more obvious than usual because Kompany was also bad. I put it to you that Sterling's goal would not have happened against any other keeper in the Premier League. Except for maybe Szczeszcscezcezceceny(spellcheck), who's also prone to going out into no man's land to stop an attack. Of course if it was him, he would've gotten sent off after karate kicking Sterling. So there's that.
- Kompany was uncharacteristically bad. He was the one marking Skrtel when he put them 2-0 up, and his ridiculous mistake led to Coutinho's winner. Bad performance from the captain.
- Suarez really pushed the limit for getting sent off. After an early caution, Suarez had to toe the line, but then he didn't. After earlier talking back to the referee (to no punishment whatsoever), he then dove on a play where Demichelis missed him by at least 3 feet. #Clattenburg
Seems like Liverpool's goals almost...shouldn't have happened.
Now, obviously as a United fan it makes me sick to my core to see these two teams fighting for the title. I've seen plenty of lucky shit benefit my team, but whatever. Well played I suppose? Was it really though?
2. Munich don't care about the league anymore and it's going to come back to bite them
Munich have absolutely taken their foot off the gas.
Look at Klopp's face. LOOK AT IT. Anyway, if Munich keep this up they're gonna get mauled by Madrid and Dortmund again when they meet in the DFB Pokal (after they beat Köln and Wolfsburg, respectively.)
3. Matagawa needs to keep happening
Okay, so... the season's over for us. Rooney needs to be rested for the World Cup amid injury concerns... So, it's the perfect time to play Mata and Kagawa in behind Hernandez and watch the magic happen. Those two are crucial to our attacking plans next year (along with Griezmann or Reus? Please?) and now's as good a time as ever to make that happen. Hey, if we win the rest of our games and Everton and Arsenal both fuck it up we could even finish 4th. Long shot.
