Great opening 15 mins and I thought a spanking was on the cards... In all fairness it could well have been - if if was not forthe post, crossbar, deflections and a bit of luck..! We played very very well today against a decent (but not brilliant) team.
Player by player you can sing their praises. Agger was brilliant - that header just wide at the start of the second half shows why he is one of the best center backs in Europe - if that had gone in people would be raving about it! Suarez - dont think I need to say anything - Bellers looks like a steal. Enreque is just about the best wingback in the business - and Johnson looks to be improving. Downing cut in a lot and looked dangerous a few times, still setteling and getting better - as is Adam. Jonjo did what SPearing wanted to last week. The machine that is Skrtel was solid in defence and grabbed a goal. In fct the only downside was Henderson - but perhaps when I watch the game again later he did a lot of work that was unnoticed..?
If we play like that for December we will be looking good for the new year and that push on the top 4 - which again is harder than ever to get into...
A new Striker in the Jan window and a bit of cover is all we need, and perhaps a right winger?
