Liverpool midfielder, Joe Allen believes his side’s 2-2 draw against Manchester City on Sunday will trigger the start of a special season for them, but felt they should have emerged victorious.
The Merseyside outfit twice claimed the lead in the game, only to see http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini’s men bounce back on both the occasions to grind out a draw at Anfield.
Had there not been a horrendous error from Martin Skrtel in the closing stages, which saw him play a poor back-pass straight to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346 Tevez, Brendan Rodgers was set to celebrate his first win in the EPL as the Reds manager.
Nonetheless, the game had plenty of excitement to offer to the fans, as it was played from end to end, and could have gone either way.
Commenting on the end result, the 22-year old insisted his team were unfortunate not to bag three points out of the fixture. However, he felt that the draw will serve to lift the morale of the entire unit, and Rodgers playing philosophy will soon start to
bear fruits.
“It was pretty frantic at times. For the neutral, I’m sure it was a great game; from our point of view, it was brilliant to have gone ahead twice but disappointing not go on to win the game,” the former Swansea City player told the reporters in an interview.
“Obviously the style of play is a big positive factor for everyone, and we’re confident that’s going to get us results throughout the season.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat on the opening day against West Bromwich Albion, marking a worst possible EPL start for Rodgers.
Allen praised the Reds for bouncing back from their slow start, and claimed that it was a trademark Liverpool trait.
“Of course, we knew we’d bounce back with a better performance and I think that was obvious from the start,” he added.
The Welsh International then went on to express his delight on making his debut appearance at Anfield on Sunday, and was focused on making an impact this season.
The Reds will next play host to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 on the 2nd of September.
