Public relations is a fascinating game. It is amazing, utterly baffling, the amount of money that has gone into something seemingly so meaningless, but that's it's intention. Desperate moves washed in tubs of cash to remove the smell of desperation. Of course a practice birthed in the genocidal precedence of 'Manifest Destiny', evolved by the incantations of a former painter turned dictator-mongol, and blatantly unveiled by the discounted sermons of a linguistic preacher with a disenfranchised choir is a ghost game shrouded by itself. Seriously, there's a man behind that curtain whether you want to look or not and he's laughing all the way to the proverbial bank.
The newest rubbish campaign to deter the truth is 'blame Gerrard'. He's 'too old', 'past it', 'worn out', 'not good anymore', or 'can't play that position'. They haven't lost their minds, they are just securing their future. 'They' are those who make their living by playing you like a stringless fiddle. 'They' are those that say 'stats don't matter' which is comical considering 'they' use stats for virtually every thing they do. Their actions are pre-calculated to produce the optimal result. Their tactics have been researched and tested a million times for decades on end.
Just stop it. I've yet to read a single article abhorring the violent display of tackling by West Ham. Not a single line from the muppet brigade has been dedicated to Kouyate's potentially career-ending, unjustifiable late thrust at Moreno. Do we need to mention 'studs up'? I guess they'll have to re-write the unwritten rule book on that one.
It was 'grand' football. A 'fantastic' display. Sam Allardyce 'outwitted' Brendan Rodgers. Yeah, don't get me started on that, the only thing Freddie Flintstone head out-did his counterpart on was thuggery and being a company man. It would be an utter revelation had the focus of matches be on what actually occurs on the pitch instead of the concoctions of think tank bunnies.
Liverpool lost because they refused to be brute thugs, it's that simple. Sorry they want to have class. Apologies for wanting to put an attractive product on the field instead of a professional wrestling match. That's where the EPL is heading if they continue to compromise, sport entertainment instead of sport. What do they care though? As long as the mums and the dads buy their children that kit each year.
