That was the first time as a fan for decades that I felt embarrassed by a Liverpool win. Suarez's goal shouldn't have been allowed, but then, to rationalise it, it was only fair for poor refereeing decisions to be on our side for a change. Throughout last season, our luck were sh*t (we broke the record for hitting the woodwork) and we had countless referees and linesmen making wrong decisions against us esp. the disallowed Suarez's goal against Everton. So I'd say, it was fair for him to have a disallowed goal judged valid.
Other than we scored more 'goals' against Mansfield, that 2nd team played lousy football. I couldn't believe my eyes because we looked more like the non league side in that match. My man of the match would go to Jones who saved our ***** many times. My opinion of our back four,
Carragher (I thank him for his great service to Liverpool and he deserves a place in the Hall of Fame, but he's now over the hill and it's time for him to hang his boots),
Coates (too slow and clumsy),
Wisdom and Robinson (too young and inexperienced for first team competitive matches),
Our middlemen,
Allen (Passing were poor and not aggressive enough, form has been declining),
Lucas (Average),
Downing (One of our better players, had been a consistent threat on the right wing),
Suso (Quiet game, form has declined since signing his contract),
Frontmen,
Shelvey (Should never play as a striker, finishing was poor, more suited to midfield position),
Sturridge (Very impressive and pity we didn't see him play with Suarez, however, could have scored a hatrick had he not missed those 2 sitters).
If BR is going to persist with most of the players of that team for the FA cup campaign, we will be knocked out sooner or later and with that kind of form, lacking in hunger, composure and confidence esp. after scoring the first goal, we won't win nor deserve to even progress beyond the 5th round of the competition.
But having said all that, the first team players we rested/injured can be a formidable squad to play against by any side in the PL ie
Johnson Agger Skertel Enrique
Sterling Lucas Gerrard Assaidi
Suarez Sturridge
For me, to win the FA and Europa Cups are a bonus, but I am more concerned about our league form and keeping in touch with 4th place finish.
