Well good result which I'm happy with, thought for 60mins we were really poor, thankfully the introduction of Lucas showed a couple of things, just how much we'd missed him last season and that he might not take as long recovering as I'd feared. Was right up there with our best players. Thought Borini's movement was very decent and Sterling's work-rate was exceptional despite not much end product to what he was trying. Gerrard and Enrique had really poor games, think Enrique is possibly trying too hard to impress without being fit, or at least I'm hoping that because I've been really disappointed in him for all the pre-season and now this.
Henderson at least tried a few offensive passes one of which Gerrard should and probably would in a couple of weeks of latched on to and pleased for Downing to get a goal but I don't personally believe it will make much difference because before it and after it he was pretty damn poor too. Jones did pretty decent between the sticks too, Skrtel and Carra showing again they're a little shakey when playing together and in truth if we'd of come away 3-1 down it would be hard to argue with on the balance of chances.
Without doubt though we need seriously help in the transfer market in the creative department and I sincerely hope they come in the next couple of weeks.
