Good win for the reds.
The early goal allowed us to calm down, and most of the players had a good performance.
Skertel and Agger were solid. Johnson was untidy, but very active and willing. Enrique´s stampedes wre not as accurate as usual but effective.
Lucas passing was erratic, but that is expected since he is just starting to find his feet but his movement off the ball, and the way he closed every
hole in our lines was fantastic.
Steven improved his recent form, and had a good game, but nowhere near to what we know he can give. Still, one goal and an assist is a significant contribution (his run for the goal was a joy to watch, only second to Downings exquisite pass...and there is a line i never tought i would say!)
Jonjo didnt stand out to me.
Suso and Sterling are still too "lightweight". In my opinion they should be alternating in the first team, but not good enough to start yet.
Suarez was also great, and he should have had 3 assists (maybe thats why he sometimes shoots himself). He was not selfish and played for the team, and had a well deserved goal.
Downing was a better version of himself. Had a good game, and actually had an impact in the result. Well done lad
Reina responded well when tested.
