I was wondering that as well - Sky showed some miserable Liverpool supporter while Allison had the ball, and then when they cut-back the left-back and Allison were still passing between them when the ref blew-up and moved the ball from Allison's...
TBH it's not their quality that is the reason people think they'll win it, it's their ability and mentality to win games like this somehow despite being shite in the actual game.
Yeah, it was really clear that time with the long wait for the ball to drop how he purposely moved himself into place to do that - should've been called-out for it.
