Just before the memories start to fade, I feel like I need to write about the shambolic display we saw from Liverpool in that game that was played against Napoli.
Goodness me! This season keeps getting worse for us. Just when you think that there is a reason to believe in the boys and what they are capable of doing, they make you look like a fool. Haha.
We've been getting wave after wave of very poor results this season.
The one I saw yesterday was horrendous, poor, annoying, and shameful... What else do you want to say about that? The bottom line is that the Liverpool that turned up against Napoli is the worst version of Liverpool I have seen in recent years.
Now, we need to have a chat about what happened in Naples last night. I was so gutted throughout the 90 minutes of the game.
I wrote a preview of that game and I was so fearful going into that fixture because I know for a fact that Liverpool has been in all sorts of shit this season. I'm not even going to make a case or an excuse for them. Not today.
Look at the scoring chart from that game
Napoli 4 - 1 Liverpool
Anyone that watched this game can attest to the fact that the final scoreline is not a true representation of what transpired in that game.
We ended the first half with 3 goals deficit. In that same half, Napoli missed a penalty and one of their goals was cancelled for offside. VVD also made a very nice clearance. So, we could have easily finished the first half with 5 goals deficit. And we are playing Napoli, not Manchester City. That's awful!
I imagined that Liverpool will be on the receiving end of Napoli's masterclass and I genuinely wanted to be proved wrong. Sadly, the whole game ended as a disgrace. We got schooled by Napoli. It would have been more interesting if this was against Barcelona or Manchester United.
People are making a case for Diaz as the best man on the pitch for Liverpool. I'm not surprised about this because we have a knack for hyping a goalscorer, but I'm not having any of that. Every freaking player that started today's game for Liverpool was awful to the tee.
All of them need to trek back to Merseyside and look at themselves in the mirror. But then, even when the team messed up so badly, some people deserve a crown for being the absolute worst player on the pitch;
1. Joel Gomez: I've got no words to describe the awful performance I saw from this lad. Gomez is such a young player with very good talent, but he has been very poor throughout this season. After the performance I saw from him today, I genuinely don't think he will be starting a game for Liverpool for the rest of this season.
2. James Milner: I'm always fascinated with Milner's work rate and I love his passion for the game, but he has no business starting a competitive game for Liverpool. The dude should be in Sunday league. Unfortunately, he's usually the first to get a contract renewal offer every freaking season.
3. Mo Salah: 'Never write off Mo' is something I will even say in my sleep, but the truth is that Mo had an off-day in that game. I have never been more excited to see him get subbed off so early in a game. I won't even mind not seeing him in the starting line-up in our next game.
4. Others: Every freaking player that started the game had a very bad game. TAA, VVD, Robbo, Firmino... Name them. No exception!
I can go on and on, but let's wrap this shitshow.
Now, I can sleep in peace and wake up with the hope of seeing a different kinda Liverpool in the game that will be played this weekend.
Lemme know your thoughts on this;
Who was the worst player on the pitch for Liverpool?
