You and me both, Jürgen.
Sam Allardyce. Big Sam. Did us again.
It’s inevitable, really. Of course he would cancel out
Sadio Mane’s first goal and play his kind of football. Of course it
worked. Because of course. Death, taxes, and Big Sam.
Jürgen Klopp was a little edgy about it, but ultimately
honest.
“The frustration grew a bit through the game”, BBC Sport report the Liverpool manager as
saying. I liked the first half, it was a proper challenge in the
first half but we started lively. We played the simple passes and
we did all the things that were necessary but in the second half
after five minutes they had more situations than they did in the
entire first half.
“It is not easy to play against a team like this and it is not
easy to play like this. It is a challenge for West Brom, can they
play like this for the rest of the season?

“Sam Allardyce is experienced and sets the team up like this and
that is completely fine. It is not the first time we played against
a deep block and usually we find the solutions for it.
“You have to use the chances when you have them but it is not
the end of the world, it is a football game we wanted to win and
should have won but now I have seen the full 95 minutes I feel they
deserved a point.”
It is what it is. Que sera sera. Big Sam is inevitable. Life
goes on.
