We Must Not Play Into The Silence
The 27th of October saw Liverpool playing at the Emirates Stadium, drawing 2-2 in an important match apropos of title chances. As a Liverpool fan, it was a frustrating watch for multiple reasons. Trent wasn't at his best, Arsenal scored two goals in the first half that could've been stopped, lacklustre football, and so on. None of these, however, was the most frustrating aspect of the game for me. The part of the game that saddened me the most was sometime in the second half when Arsenal's Number Five Thomas Partey was applauded by the home crowd after a successful tackle that stopped Liverpool's attack. This was the breaking point for me, someone who keenly listens to what the commentators have to say, after noticing that throughout the game the commentators mention everything but one glaring aspect about Thomas - that he is accused of rape and is out on bail for it.
