Now that ive calmed down and am thinking rationally i thought id post again.
Liverpool were the better team.PERIOD.
We outclassed them at their own game with the fluidity of Kuyt, Suarez, Downing, Adam and Henderson. Our midfield was excellent, completely outperforming their gutless one. We were fluid, instinctive, intelligent and combative in possession, but also technically more adept. Some of the football was orgasmic to watch at times. Spearing had an excellent game particularly going about his defensive work well but showing a significant improvement in his attacking instincts aswell playing a few cleverly threaded passess.
The defense was solid on the left hand side with Enrique and Skrtel playing blinders, the right hand side of the defence not so much. Hendersons movement infield allowed Kelly to exploit space on the right hand side which he didnt do effectively, whipping countless wayward crossess and giving away possession with sloppy passes. And Carra is quite obviously past it im afraid. He was very slow reacting to Sagnas (brilliant) cross and let RvP bully him in situations. The communication with Kelly for RvP's second should have also been better, you simply cannot take your eyes off the most prolific striker in the league, not to mention the fact that Song plays those balls into him so often, they should of been expecting it. Didnt like how Reina got beaten 1 yard at his near post but i wont elaborate.
Overall the performance of the team was very promising in fact. If Kelly's tap in had gone in and RvP hit the side netting with his volley, we would all be rejoicing at how brilliant the team performance was and how we completely cut open another top team.
But that isnt the case and that isnt down to the manager, but solely down to our players not being clinical enough in front of goal. We have the worst chance to goal ration in the league. We missed a penalty and hit the post twice and had two players missing fairly open goals from 3 yards out (Kuyt & Kelly).
