Ohhhh Brendan, you marvellous talker of nonsense.
Liverpool earned a respecful 1-1 draw in their opening Europa League match with Bordeaux on Thursday evening in France. Adam Lallana had given Liverpool the lead with a quality finish, before Jussie equalised for Bordeaux.
Danny Ings, making a rare appearance as a striker could have given Liverpool their second goal only to be thwarted at close range by the keeper.
Speaking after the game, Brendan Rodgers came up with a new ‘Brendanism’ to add to the collection, with his reason for Ings’ miss: “His second touch was too good” scoffed the Northern Irishmen.
That remark goes right up there alongside “if anything he’s hit that too well” in hallowed football cliches.
Top stuff Brendan.
