Hello and welcome to this week's episode of analyzing Anfield, your tactics and analytics podcast, courtesy of the Blood of their channel.

I'm Josh Williams and I'm joined by Mo stewards Mo

the case is returned we are back to war I mean I mean we through to be fair it wasn't a loss

but it wasn't a win but back and for me it's hard. We lost one one.

Yeah I mean it's difficult isn't it I think there was a part of me that wanted to believe that our momentum would

sweep all before us but there was another part of me deep down that were like

Aston Villay it's come to be the biggest test of all of this new optimism and new system and that's exactly how it proved.

Although I think in a lot of ways I think you can look at this game in two ways you can look at it and say it's a disappointment

But at the same time I think in the long run it might end up working in our favor because using this game as an example of what could potentially

happen next season when really good teams have had a while to look at what we're doing and basically

game plan against it.

Yeah I did think it was a potential banana skin feature to be honest

you and I am as a master when he's the underdog and he can come up with a tactical plan specifically to stop you.

And he did exactly that, you know, he caused us just using, we end up picking a one-all

draw-up, which is not good enough and I think it's the first time

since we've started this podcast many years ago now where we've been going into the

final game of the campaign with nothing to play for in

terms of any kind of position any kind of top four finish nothing like that which is

grim a few steps backwards to be honest.

It is and I mean you can kind of, well there's a certain amount of potentially taking

this season with a rather large heap of salt, but that will all depend upon what happens next year.
