That’s your lot, then. A reminder that Jamie Jackson’s report has landed. Thanks for reading this MBM!
A not particularly cheery Brendan Rodgers speaks to Sky. “We were very good in large spells. We started well. We could have been more precise with the passing, but our positioning and movement was good. We scored what I felt was a couple of great goals, their keeper makes a great save from Wesley’s header, and we’re bitterly disappointed not to get the second goal. Varane’s used his experience. He gets contact and goes down, but that wasn’t what led to the goal. Harry has missed a challenge, their full back has missed a challenge, the ball’s come out and we’ve finished it. So they still had opportunities to finish it. And I though we were deserving of that. We’re bitterly disappointed with the decision, as we deserved to win the game.”
As for the McTominay challenge on Maddison? “We had one earlier in the season [at West Ham] when Ayoze Perez - Michael Oliver, who is the fourth official today - sent him off. The ball gets away from him and got sent off, a similar sort of one. But yeah, we got the yellow.”
