Excellent result, we deserved that.
Suarez was immense today, he was so clinical in his finishing and never stopped looking for another goal or to set up another.
Suso, Sterling and Wisdom all showed why age shouldn't determine whether you start or not, talent should. Suso in particular although gave the ball away a couple of times was great, him and Suarez i feel will play very well together. Wisdom was highly impressive too, solid at the back and confident going forward, needs to work on his positioning at times, seemed to be too central for me.
Sahin, Allen and Gerrard, they can pass can't they. Great performance from the three, would definitely have the 3 start each game, yes Shelvey is good but i think Sahin has the whole package, work rate, vision and a finish. The three played as a unit, used each other confidently when needed and opened up Norwich very well.
Now don't jump on me all at once, but the game did open my eyes to a couple problems we face. Our defense is too clumsy, sometimes they and Reina included just switch off and to do well in this league we can't allow that to happen. If we are to implement Rodgers style of football then the back four needs to be sharp or one mistake could cost us the game. Luckily it didn't today but Skrtel, Agger and Reina all look too casual on the ball, several times in that game Reina played the wrong ball.
Don't get me wrong it was a great performance and i actually believe that Rodgers will lead us back into glory however our defensive issues have to be addressed in my eyes, sooner than later.
