Bye. The goals, the two in Turkey. Yeah, just disappointing, really. Just can't seem to break this duchy, but at the moment, we're playing away in Turkey. Twice at Galatasaray, here at Fenerbahçe today.

Just disappointing. It's a shame, because I think a few of them have a really good game. Tre Ioni was absolutely exceptional, and shown why everyone's been going on, about why he should start so much. Recovering the ball all the time, winning it back in the middle of the park, moving the ball forward. All the best for you. It was absolutely brilliant. Probably Liverpool's man of the match, in my opinion. And the story of the game is Liverpool got one ahead, and you made up. You absolutely wasn't. You're thinking, right, we're going to break this door. The opening stages of the game, I reckon Liverpool had a lot of the ball and with dominance in possession, and moving it really, really well, and really, really quick, really, really quick. And going to the team selection, no Verts, no Isak. You're thinking, after that 10 minutes, you're thinking, you know what, we're going to get them too, who are so integral to the way we've been playing recently. We're playing really well. We're doing things right. And yeah, and I thought, after we've put up the first four, we might kick on here, and this could be one of them games where it's four, five, nil. I expect the Fenerbahçe to not come out and play. I thought they were going to sit in, much like Arsenal did in the weekend. So once we got the early lead, I was thinking, right, we could kick on here and do really well. And the goal obviously takes a bit of a deflection, I'm pretty sure. It's hit by training, he gets the goal for him, runs off to the crowd, brilliant moment for him, but now doesn't mean anything to him. I hope it does, because I shouldn't take that away from them, sure, yeah, but Liverpool don't get the victory in the end. And then almost a couple of minutes later, I think the free kick, the flex, although it might just go through a gap in the wall, I haven't seen the replay yet. And Liverpool are 1-1, you're thinking we've only just got in front, we've only just got the lead of the game, and we're back level, but Alisson sort of stood the middle of the goal, there's not much he can do about it to be totally honest, he looks like he might have seen the deflection or the gap in the wall late, I'm not quite sure. I'm pretty sure it's Jeremy Giacche, who is either the deflector or the one who moves out the way of the ball. But yeah, instantly you're like, oh god, we've only just got in front, we've only just got the lead, we've thrown it away, we're gonna have to break these down. But then Fenerbahçe come out to press, and at stages before that, Liverpool got the second goal in the first half and the second, they were pressing really high and it was a really open game of football, and you were thinking, okay, we're expecting this, to play with quite a bit of confidence, this is quite exciting.

Liverpool in the next changes, I'd say a lot of them, we were coming off better, and we were having the better chances in them parts of the game. And then we go ahead again, and before we go ahead again, there was a moment of pressure from Fenerbahce where they have a few efforts on goal, and you're thinking, oh, this could turn. And then the resack comes on, the subs look to be correct. There's a ball lofted into the back post, and he just nods it. I think Ederson maybe could do better. At first, I thought Ederson saved it, and he just sort of rolled into the bottom corner. Like I said, I was all the way at the back. I'm in the lower now, but I couldn't quite have a great angle of it. But in the back there, the Poole two are in front, you're thinking, right, we've got the lead again, we've got our young star men on the pitch. Let's go and get another, put this game to bed, put it beyond doubt, and get out of here with all three points. But no, you know, a little bit longer this time, Liverpool throw the lead away again, and it's the substitute who comes on for the car, who I believe they call him Muriki, on the Tanoi. I've been butchering his name all week.
