Plenty of positives despite the result. Thought we were the better team for about 35 minutes, it's just we couldn't convert the chances we created. They didn't outplay us and the only reason they were 3-0 up was because they were extremely clinical. I thought Moreno looked dangerous going forward and defensively was ok, barring the lack of awareness in letting Jovetic in for the first goal. He'll learn from that though and he looks a good attacking full back - just what was needed. Didn't think Henderson had his best game but I actually thought Gerrard was decent, and Allen had a fairly good game too, especially in the first half. Unfortunately Coutinho had another poor performance, could be one to drop out for the trip to Spurs. No doubt he'll come back to form though. Sturridge, other than a couple of decent half chances, didn't do brilliantly, but did set up our goal. The less said about Johnson the better. I'll never give unnecessary hate to any Red but he's a liability at the back and offers nothing going forward. Defensively we were fantastic for 35 minutes, and then once we'd conceded suddenly it looked a lot more like strangers at the back. Once we are more settled I hope we can improve on defensive record.
One of the toughest fixtures of the season out of the way, and we'll learn from it and move on.
