Jut watching the replay on LFC TV now - yes I love being on holiday!
Yesterday, in the first 20 mins we bossed the game and this was the platform for the win. A few times we have done this and failed to score, yesterday we got our goal and looked rampant. This could, and should have been 6 or 7 - certinally 5..! After we scored, we sat back a bit and invited pressure, got a second and then I think Sunderland realised it was over.
We ammased 60% possession, had 27 shots and 16 (we had the ball in the net 5 times, almot a 30% conversion rate!) on target. In our last 3 victories we have had circa 60% possesion. Unreal...
If we play like we did yesterday we will be in great shape - this is what BR talked about, death by football. Also - yes Suarez gets a lot of plaudits and rightly so, but yesterday Gerrard, Lucas, Pepe, Sterling, Downing, Henderson, Johnson, Wisdom all played well, Agger and Skrtle did a job - and a bloody good one too!
P.S - Sterlings goal was class. If that was Rooney, Van Persil or Messi it would have been all over the papers - beleive me. Great ball by Suarex to release him, sterling showed awarness beyond his years to make the run. The keeper, didnt go down and jumped arms out streched to stop the lob, yet sterling still put it over him and gotit down in time. Awesome goal...
