Liverpool continued their pursuit of Man Utd and fourth place with a win against Brentford, but have they left it just too late? twoht watched the Reds do just enough again...
Well, what else did they expect? Regardless of what you think of the coronation, of the concept of monarchy itself, or the way in which some cities in post-industrial Britain were treated by a succession of different governments, it didn’t even make any realto play God Save The King before the Premier League match between Liverpool and Brentford.
It’s probably not going to be enough to result in a Champions League place, but the odds against did narrow slightly with Manchester United’s extremely late defeat at Brighton. Liverpool went into the weekend four points behind Manchester United and having played a match more. They clearly need to just keep winning and hope for a slip-up elsewhere.
But to keep winning requires consistency, and that’s one thing Liverpool have been lacking this season. From just before the World Cup break to just after it, they looked as though they’d finally found themselves with four straight wins. But then they were beaten 3-1 at Brentford, the agon started to wobble again, and they didn’t win again in four matches.
Brentford’s rollercoaster this season has had a longer curve. Having gone unbeaten in the Premier League from the end of October until the second week in March, they followed that by winning just one of their next eight. But two straight wins, away to Chelsea and at home against Nottingham Forest, had woken them up a little and their reaction to Liverpool taking the lead was as impressive as we’ve come to expect over their two seasons in the Premier League.
