Real Sociedad & Liverpool Review

Well, it's difficult to explain just because of how simple the game was.

That's quite weird.

It's difficult to explain how simple the game was.

We talked about it last week.

It was going to be such an interesting tactical battle of two exact same similar styles of football going against each other.

And it produced one of the most boring games of football I've ever watched.

that five shots on target for both teams across the 90 minutes.

You could tell that both teams couldn't really figure out how to work each other out.

The goal, Isaac's goal, just came from sloppy defending, which obviously we've had plenty of times this season.

Story of our season.

We said it in the car on the way here.

I think that's the first game where we haven't deserved anything more than what we got.

Maybe a draw, but that's stretching

at it.

We just didn't deserve it.

If it was going to be a draw, which it could have been, it would only have been because both teams were so poor on the day, not because we deserved or we played well enough to warrant a point.

I mean, I'd say in two thirds, we were okay.

Defensively, other than the goal, again, as you say, it was such a soft goal to give away.

We were okay.

And in midfield, I thought Alex Scott was good again and Tyler Adams did what Tyler Adams does well.

But the final third, for the first time, there was a real lack of creativity and flair and Liverpool.

Obviously, they do have a good defence.

Van Dijk and Xhaka, they were very good at the back.

Of course, when you come up against teams like Liverpool, you have to acknowledge that they have world-class defenders in their team.

But we could have done more to stretch them.
