We owned them. Shame we didn't own all 3pts.
I think that is one of the best performances we've seen this season (there have been some good ones too), we've dropped 4 needless points to this lot this season and they were ordinary. We made them look ordinary, we looked like the home side and bossed that. It's just a f.ucking shame that the hard work we do, and the positions we get ourselves into is usually undone by a moment of stupidity - Reina.
The whole 11 played remarkable and yes I include Downing he worked very hard, he's our equivalent to Milner for Citeh. I've come to the conclusion, that he isn't an attacking threat or a flair player but he's more of a grafter working the flanks like he does. And in all honesty, this team still requires grafters amidst the flair. Same applies to Henderson who again was outstanding, the lad got proper stuck in and worked his @rse off, he's growing in this side and it's looking good for him.
Gerrard, well his form has really picked up and he's been just as immense. Lucas looked much more comfortable when the whole team doesn't drop to the edge of it's own penalty area. Still think another perhaps more mobile DM wouldn't hurt us though.
Sturridge had an excellent game (think he had a point to prove to this lot) and didn't disappoint, he held the ball up well, passed well, looked to shoot at the right time, took players on when he needed too. He was great. Enrique and Johnson also worked the flanks well.
I'm really pleased with the performance the signs are very promising indeed, we're heading in the right direction under Rodgers. It's just a f.ucking shame we didn't get the 3pts we thoroughly deserved.
I think 4th spot is gone. Yet, if we keep Suarez, next season we should really (expectantly) be challenging for 4th, that means closing exact games out like this and taking all the points, too many times this season we haven't done that and that's what you need to do, to be a top 4 team.
