So, yes, Liverpool lose the community shield on penalties to Crystal Palace.

What a mad old game, there are plenty of, like, poppy things to talk about.

Ultimately, I don't think you get to spin it as glorified, friendly and then lose your head over it so I won't.

But yeah, just not good enough.

And I think Palace probably deserved it on the balance of play overall.

I thought, it was funny at half time.

So I went down to the concourse at half time and the lad stopped me today.

I was going and she's great this, isn't it?

And he went, eh. And I knew what he meant it's that to say Liverpool had been absolutely

exceptional the first half but my point was beautiful and sunny Liverpool a winner this

game we've seen some you know some nice moments and surely it'll get better in the

second half we'll just go and do the business yeah that never happened did it but Crystal Palace got better as the game

wore up much better in the second half the Liverpool where apart from that opening

couple of minutes where TK has a header at the back post we have a I think the first guys one as well

if we'd scored there I think we'd have

gone on and won quite comfortably

but we didn't and that felt like the last

big hurrah in the legs for this team

really never really got a grip

to the football match at all

we made the substitutions

did really answer what we were doing
