“WE KNOW THE SIZE OF THE TASK, WE COULD HAVE THE BEST FACILITIES EVER – BUT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT PLAYING LIVERPOOL” SAID JOHN DOOLAN A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO, WHO IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE “PEOPLE” WORTHY OF SALUTATIONS! IN GAMES LIKE THIS, IT IS THE ENORMOUS GENEROSITY OF SPIRIT BETWEEN MANAGERS, PLAYERS (AND FANS) ALIKE, WHICH REMIND US JUST WHY THEY CALL THIS “THE BEAUTIFUL GAME.” IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT LIVERPOOL “PUT IN A GOOD SHIFT”, WITH STUPENDOUS GOALS FROM DIOGO JOTA AT 29 MINS., TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD AT 45 MINS., JAYDEN DANNS AT 76 MINS., AND FEDERICO CHIESA AT 90 MINS., (HIS FIRST GOAL FOR LIVERPOOL), BUT ACCRINGTON STANLEY TRIED THEIR VERY BEST, PUTTING UP A STUBBORN DEFENCE IN THE FIRST-HALF, AND SOME EXCITING “NEARLY MOMENTS” FROM JOSH WOODS, AND DONALD LOVE WHICH WEREN’T QUITE TO BE. BUT AS JOHN DOOLAN SAYS IN HIS INTERVIEW “WE JUST WANTED TO COME HERE AND GIVE A GOOD ACCOUNT OF OURSELVES AS INDIVIDUALS, AND AS A TEAM.” AND THAT THEY CERTAINLY DID! IT’S THIS KIND OF GOODWILL WHICH KEEPS US EMBEDDED IN THIS SPORTING WORLD OF MUTUAL RESPECT, AND CAN, ACTUALLY, RESTORE OUR FAITH IN MANKIND! (IT’S THE ONLY PLACE I WANT TO BE ANYWAY! AMANDA)
