Great win despite not really hitting top gear, which is a good sign for us again. Lucas, I thought, done a fantastic job filling Xabi's role in a holding job and he looked the part too. Done all the ugly work really well. He's looking a quality buy. Gerrard was fantastic due to this. MOTM is all that needs to be said for him. Alan Smith MOTM from the stadium announcer? Was that just to cheer those miserable Geordie tw@ts up, who let's be honest, were a disgrace? Babel is showing why we bought him now. I think the boy is class. He'll turn out to be a real cracker for us. Torres - he was really unlucky. Played as good as any, and had he even scored one, he was my MOTM. I hope the misses don't dent his confidence, but he was class. Should have scored 5.
On the negatives, I'd say there were two. I'm not really into the trend of slating our own players, but I think the writing has been clearly on the wall now for two of our most prized scapegoats these days. You don't have to guess that Sissoko and Kuyt are the two usual suspects....again. I thought they were just shocking. Sissoko needs to be taught the basics of just how to pass the ball 4 f*cking feet in front of him! Is that too much to ask?! He frustrated the f*ck out of me. Kuyt was just as bad. I forgot he even scored, and from the first 15 minutes, his body language suggested that he didn't even look bothered. These two are starting to be a liability to the team. Replace with better quality ASAP imo.
Did you watch the game? Momo was cat but Kuyt was involved in everything Liverpool produced today:
A) He laid it on for Torres, who got fouled, of which free kick we scored from.
B) He put through Torres when Shiven came out to block - and then won the ball back to give to Torres again. But he hit the post.
C) Then he scored.
D) He won the ball back to give it to Babel, who gave it to Gerrard, who gave it to Babel, who scored.
E)F) the other chances Torres had, bar one, was set up by Kuyt.
Watch the game, lad, don't concentrate on your prejudices.
