First and foremost a big well done to the lads. You done us proud.
Now my 2 cents on the match.
Like I said in my previous post. This result is irrespective to me had we won, lost or drawn. The objective was to get 3 goals without conceding. 2 pens so 3 goals from open play. Excellent! although I was a bit cheesed that Swansea rested 7 players.
Now my worries were in the 44th min lapse of defending error defending set piece. Had it been repued striker; bang Zenit gets it in 4 goal to score bad very bad. Get it sorted.
Big positive, always good to be going into next match with a confidence booster. Loved the commentator mention towards the end, "They've (swansea) been WALLOPED"! Music to my ears if they said it again IF we overrun Zenit.
Next up would be getting everyone shooting practices both from open and close play. Glen focusing especially on his shooting. He has all the foundations to be a legend. Hear me Glen its true, don't be cheesed with me, I know its easy for me to sit and type in here.
Lastly, out of the box scenarios. Going man down early? What tactics to win without conceding. Opponent going man down how to do a demolition job on them instead of producing a huff n' puff variety.
In closing its been hard to judge Liverpool's frailties as we were never under pressure from a poor Swansea side having one eye on the cup final. So again this should not let by go unnoticed by concerned department tho we kept a clean sheet.
I don't have a HT but from my TV set the fans atmosphere did improve and had to improve cos we did bang in the goals. but still not upto the mark. The zenit fans were bludy intimidating. Major improvement needed in this front. Positivity breathes positivity.
