Well that put us Liverpool fans through the wringer. Think I'll start off with Stoke. They started playing football but they soon reverted to type. Begovic was outstanding and Pieters looks a tidy little player and Huth is in no way a footballer. They're going to struggle this season.
As for us, Mignolet grew into the game, Johnson and Enrique were solid, Agger, despite the handball, and Toure look so comfortable as a partnership, Gerrard was tidy and denied by a good save, Henderson was terrier-like and starting to remind me of Houghton. Coutinho was great, Aspas had a good debut and Sturridge looked good, if lacking a little match sharpness. Sterling looked a little lost at times, in The Land of the Giants.
Lucas, for me, was a step above all ours today, on and off the ball, harrying, protecting and starting attacks.
Not sure if my heart will take another 37 of those this league season.
