Had the better chances. Couple from corners in first half, Jonno had one clear header. And Enrique looked like a fish out of water for the chance that hit his stomach just in front of goal. One disallowed. Sterling off the bar. Suarez looked sharp. Though gave Jose MOTM.
Just thought the game was a bit lifeless. Two teams playing the same way. Very little variety. Tactical, not much blood n guts.
Would be good to have someone take the midfield by the scruff of nexk and make a few surging runs - like SG used to do. Liven things up. Get some crunching tackles in. It's a bit pedestrian at the moment, predictable.
Is it understandable, cause we don't have the players? Or is it just that Rodgers plays that one way, and options like Carroll are the highway?
Thought Hendo and Downing deserved to be subbed, they were quiet. When Shelvey came on he looked strong, had a good shot saved and picked up the pace. Don' t know if Joe Cole touched the ball.
Back four were solid. Jonno made some good runs but was a bit wasteful at the end of some of them.
Sterling did well again, lively - did let the odd pass go at the wrong time once or twice, but he's one of the top 3 or 4 performers.
We're definately getting more solid, more comfortable with the gameplan. Not loosing as much as before, though drawing a lot. But defense will be happy.
Good to see Pepe back, could've lost an eye there in the Dyer tackle, studs up.
Still too dependant on Suarez, need some of the other guys to show more conviction in front of goal.
All in all, clean sheet, Pepe back, probably deserved to nick it. Next up - make chips of Spuds.
