Overall I thought Coates had a very solid game apart from his 78th minute lapse. Reina's decision making [whether to come off his line or not] was dubious. Sterling's goal was lovely but apart from that he didn't feature enough throughout the 90min. I do think he will be used as a sub quite a lot this season but it's way too early IMO for him to be a consistent first team player.
Our free-kick that was eventually scored by Lucas was very well worked, I enjoyed that. Shelvey was okay in the middle of the park disappointing on the right, he's also quite rash in the tackle Charlie Adams-esq. Speaking of whom needs to be shipped out ASAP, his delivery is awful, his mobility is sluggish and his decision making is poor.
I reckon this will be our starting eleven against West Brom:
----------------------------- Pepe
Johnson--------Skertel-----------Agger---------Enrique
---------------------------------Allen---------Lucas
---------------------------------------Gerrard
---------------Downing--------------Borini-------------Suarez
