Trafford’s best moment today wasn’t even the penalty save IMO.
There was an instance, around 34:40. Liverpool were on top. Bernardo has the ball, trusts Trafford, plays it to him under pressure. I instinctively blurted out ‘punt it’.
Instead he receives, manipulates the presser and invites him, plays it calmly to Khusanov, and in that second, City have created a gap to exploit.
From there, City go from one box to another, win a corner, and score the goal. Thereafter, Liverpool crumbled.
Momentum shift. Similar to the League Cup final.
Of course the saves were lovely, but little moments like that matter I think.
Interesting how wars are named after the country attacked: Vietnam War, Iraq War, Afghanistan War, Iran War... That's because if they were named after the attacker, it would be too confusing, since 80% of conflicts would be called the US war.
@OsindeOfficial@Ftblkevin_ The two go together because if sterling doesn't play he defo starts the dm lool genuinely think him losing to chels twice leading upto that game played his mind (it shouldn’t have because in both games we played either a second string team or a dead rubber game)
