Cracking performance!!
Had 3-0 but also had 4-0 and 5-0 for big money again, could have been a repeat if we'd buried a few of those huge chances, not going to moan though after last year
Delighted with that, thought we looked a threat whenever we wanted to and it's a nice change from the City game to be really struggling to choose MotM for great performances. Think I might just give it to Hendo, thought he was a rock in there for us today and started a few of our moves that lead to goals with brilliant work. Tenacious, good runs, nice confidence, but the same can be said about Raheem who was excellent for us all match, gutted for a few reasons that he didn't put away that run (fantasy football, bet, deserved it both team and individually).
Mig: Started like a bag of sh*te with the weak hands and then getting caught in no-mans land for one of their only real chances.
Moreno: What a performance! On the back of that mistake so pleased for the young lad's confidence, high hopes for this young lad.
Sakho: Probably our weakest player, thought he looked shaky and wanted to be going backwards far too often, was also at fault when Migs got caught. Some weak passing too, can see why he isn't starting at the moment.
Lovren: Think he did very well for the most part but still had the occasional moment that had you not quite convinced. He puts them behind him without a second thought though, I like that.
Gerrard: Shocking passing in the first half, better in the 2nd, nicely composed pen as we expect.
Hendo: MotM seemed to be everywhere breaking up their play and making great runs when we had possession, deserved a goal.
Allen: His best performance this season for us, still think he's the weak link in there though.
Sterling: What a talent, deserved an extra goal and think he's just going up and up, needs to pick Studge out more when he's making runs though.
Studge: Think he did a lot of work that went unrewarded today, I thought he did very well and his movement deserved better service and his all around game today deserved a goal.
Balotelli: Excellent, cracking performance, could have had 3 today but as Stevie just said in the interview, if he plays like that every game he could be the difference the work he put in was not expected from my perspective, loved it.
Subs:
Can: Very good, great work for Raheem's big chance and was very solid.
Markovic: We'd backed off and he had nobody to link with really, did what he needed to so we could see the game out.
Enrique: Didn't have much to do but saw the game out like Markovic.
Brendan: Fantastic, got the tactics spot on and had the lads chomping at the bit, Spurs couldn't live with us at all, well in Boss!
