Lou had booked one of the Lamb specials: Lamb steak with mediterranean couscous, tzatziki & roasted vine tomatoes. She said it was delicious and all the flavours went together. Had a try of the couscous & tzatziki & agree they were tasty.
LFC are like the England team: look good on paper but awful on grass. Everton over-ran us in midfield (Phil was hardly seen) but Ings scored a good goal. Then, after some excellent saves from Simon, we hit the self-destruct button again. Emre Can's attempted clearance hit Martin S and fell at the feet of Lukaku who hit an instinctive shot into the net a couple of minutes before half-time.
The second half was a bit dull though there was another round of handbags (Can & Barkley had started it) when Lukaku bravely/rashly decided to have a go at Sahko.
In the end a point a piece was probably a fair result.
Heather came in & ordered the lamb as well & both agreed that it might be one of the best specials they'd had.
Watched the Arsenal v ManU. The Gunners hit 2 goals in as many minutes & were 3-0 inside 20 minutes. Saw some ManU fans (who were all strangely quiet) slink away. ManU were better in the 2nd half, wouldn't have been difficult but couldn't get even one back.
Which isn't funny.
Was browsing twitter around 18.30 when news broke that Brendan Rogers had been fired!
There are some stories that FSG had taken the decision in the week but didin't want to destabilise preparations for the derby and that even a win wouldn't have saved him.
Looking back it was probably inevitable, though should have gone in May/June. It's never nice to see a guy lose his job and he got closer than any manager for decades to winning the title. On the downside, he was 1 of only 2 LFC managers to win nothing (the other is Woy Hodgeson).
I'm sure he was devastated but you can't argue with performances and results. The obvious candidates are Jurgen Klopp & Carlo Ancelotti. FSG have the taken advantage of the international break to recruit the new man & get him in before our next game.
