My first initial reaction straight after the game, without reading the rest of thread first, which is highly unusual for me, is that we were lucky to scrape that draw with a penalty that I don't think was deserved but was well taken again by SG. Thank F**k he went the other way...his last few have all been in the bottom left corner and that's the way the keeper went.
We controlled the game for large chunks, what's new
but they looked super dangerous on the counter.
That goal they scored was pure quality starting with that kick up the ground from their right back. Can't believe we didn't deal with that.
For me the standout was Xabi...his passing was sublime...God help us if we sold him during the last transfer window...his vision is just pure class.
Danny Agger should have had a hatrick....2 of those balls in the box fell to his favoured left foot and he should have buried them as well as that header....however with more match fitness, it looks like he might be another potent goal scoring threat we have as another option instead of the usual suspects of Torres and Gerrard and sometimes Kuyt, who I think, today was back to his horrible first touch problems again.
I was really pissed off with Lucas when he came on...I watched him shirk out of two important challenges that lucky for us didn't cost us in the end. I really believe he isn't LFC material...time to cut our losses on him in the January transfer window.
All in all a disappointing result again when we had so much possession...but we gained a point instead of losing another 3 and Marseille helped us out by beating PSV....come on REDS, lets improve my birthday months results by hammering WBA on Saturday...lift for fucks sake.
