Key note: “The game at the outset gave promise of being a tough struggle, and although Liverpool early on asserted their superiority, the first portion of the game was full of pretty points; but the least said about the second half the better, as individualism became too rampant.” (Source: Liverpool Mercury: February 27, 1893).
