Well done Frank Lampard for ‘riling’ Liverpool fans; only The Sun could be impressed with that.
Just like Jose
‘FOR 62 minutes, Frank Lampard pulled off his best Jose Mourinho impersonation and frustrated the hell out of Anfield.’
That would be a lovely opening line to Dave Kidd’s Merseyside derby match report in The Sun if Jose Mourinho sides had not conceded in the 24th and 26th minutes of his last two (losing) trips to Anfield.
On the riles
We are being a little facetious of course because Kidd was actually going all the way back to 2014 by referencing Chelsea’s win at Anfield which derailed Liverpool’s title bid. And we are supposed to believe that Everton only losing 2-0 to Liverpool is worthy of that kind of comparison…
‘Everton’s 68-year stay in the top flight may be in severe peril but Lampard and his team deserve some credit for riling Liverpool’s players, fans and fan-boy Sky pundit Jamie Carragher to the point of distraction.’
Yes, well done Frank. The one place where simply ‘riling’ Liverpool is worthy of great praise is The Sun.
‘There were obvious similarities with the infamous Demba Ba match in 2014, when Mourinho’s Chelsea side – including Lampard and Mo Salah – derailed Liverpool’s title bid with a 2-0 victory and a defensive masterclass.’
Chelsea were 1-0 up by half-time in that game so the ‘obvious similarities’ were put to bed pretty bloody early on.
Oh and Operation No Blame Lampard is truly on here…
‘Liverpool fans taunted their opponents by gleefully chanting the name of Rafa Benitez – now even more cherished by the red half of the city, for having done such a fine job of propelling the blue half towards the Championship.’
He was sacked with Everton six points clear of the relegation zone, fella. We think Lampard might be a bit responsible. But also, well done for ‘riling’ Liverpool as your team lost 2-0.
