Media Balls: Liverpool stirred as Swansea cruelly disingtergrated
Media balls: a look at monocular reporting on Swansea v Liverpool, which the Reds won 1-2.
The Times says Liverpool were “disjointed at the Liberty stadium and flattered by the victory that came gift-wrapped from the opposition courtesy of two bad defensive errors in the second half.” The winning goal came when Swansea went into “meltdown”. The goal followed a series of “egregious errors”.
The Indy says “Swansea’s defence disintegrated”.
The BBC says the results was “cruel on Swansea”.
The Guardian: “Borja, the club’s £15.5m record signing, squandered two excellent chances, the second of which came after Fer had put Swansea ahead.” This was compounded by “Van der Hoorn’s awful late miss”.
The Liverpool Echo says “Liverpool staged a stirring second-half comeback”.
The Daily Mirror says Liverpool were “irresistible“. Adding that “this was the type of victory that runs through any title challenge like writing through rock.” Well, so long as the other side suffer “defensive aberrations“, it might be.
In Klopp’s 37th Premier League games, his team has conceded 50 goals.
Sometimes a win courtesy of late penalty doesn’t bear the analysis.
