"Sword of Damocles Season anyone?"

If ever a 7 goal thriller with a last minute winner typified Liverpool's "Sword of Damocles Season" in 2022-2023, this was surely it.

Here follows a link to my self-published book of late May 2023 that I'm incredibly proud of, an extract from the chapter being read here, and other ways and means of supporting me, if you are able, to thumb the eye of the traditional publishers who refused to read my original manuscript!

LIVERPOOL 4 (Jones 3, Díaz 5, Salah 15, Jota 90+4)
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 3 (Kane 39, Heung-min 77, Richarlison 90+3)

"If ever my long self-proclaimed “Sword of Damocles Season” needed further and final definitive proof, this was it.

3–0 up and cruising after just 15 minutes allowing the wags on The Kop to serenade their visitors with the beautifully cutting “Show Them The Way To Go Home” and to the point whereby the Reds simply stopped playing against a woeful, disorganised Tottenham, to a 3–1 half-time advantage that came perilously close to being level at 3–3.

Then came an insipid and dreadful second half that allowed simple straight balls into the penalty area to finally level the scores at 3–3 in injury time, to Diogo Jota’s winning goal mere seconds after being pegged back.
In his celebration of the winning goal, Reds boss Jürgen Klopp both pulled his hamstring and was yellow carded and as Anfield reverberated to the sound of the song of acclaim afforded their winning goal scorer, there was palpable relief at the shrill of the referee’s final whistle.

But that’s getting ahead of ourselves.

Sword of Damocles anyone?

For 15 minutes, Liverpool were incredible and Tottenham as horribly dreadful as they were shipping 6 goals last Sunday to Newcastle United. The Reds exploited the disorganised mess of their visitors with a brilliant team move on 3 minutes that eventually found its way to goal assist extraordinaire Trent Alexander-Arnold whose delicious cross into the penalty area left 6 retreating white shirted Tottenham players completely out of the game for fellow Liverpudlian Curtis Jones to expertly drive a left footed volley past Fraser Forster in the visitors goal.

From a 24 year old Scouser to a 22 year old Scouser.

A goal entirely made in Liverpool".
