Going back to Fridays game I just want to congratulate the lads. The conditions were awful and the pitch was absolutely dire. Our young lads rolled their sleeves up and dug in. Credit to Exeter too who were well up for it. I think the result was a fair one and it will be good to see a side like Exeter visit Anfield.
Bogdan - What on earth is wrong with our goalies? Bogdan started his LFC career very confident with consistent and solid displays but now he just looks a mess. That second goal he conceded was just a complete shambles. You know you must be quite sh*t when the majority would prefer Mignolet over you.
Randall - I know hes a young lad but Im writing him off already. I've seen enough of him now, not just from Friday but in the other couple of games he has featured too, that he will never be good enough to be a first team regular. He isn't great on the ball but more alarmingly he was beaten quite easily down that flank a few times on Friday. Earlier this season when we played Bournemouth at home in the league cup, I was sat in the lower cenny and Randall was on our side in the first half and he was often beaten then too with no difficulty at all. I don't think he will ever be good enough.
Ilori - Not sure why he is rated so highly amongst our fan base. Never thought he was anything special and thought he was fairly crap on Friday.
Enrique - Looked like a lad who has been missing for two years and was playing out of position. Oh wait.
Smith - Very confident full back. Like the look of him. Good on the ball & his delivery can be superb at times. Tough in a tackle. His goal was sheer quality too. Decent enough performance.
Kent - Surprised to see him go off because I felt he was our biggest threat. Looked very good on the ball with a few tricks up his sleeve.
Brannagan - Had one or two classy moments. Went about his job well. There was a moment during the game where I felt he was beginning to boss the midfield but then he faded a bit not long after that. A good shift/effort from the lad though.
Stewart - Didn't notice him.
Tex - Didn't involved himself as much as he should have. He did a couple of turns/passes where it was evident you could see that there is a player in him but he didn't get a grip of the game as much as he perhaps should have.
Sinclair - Not involved apart from his goal which was a very classy sturridge type finish.
Benteke - I honestly don't remember him touching the ball. Shocking performance from our captain.
Edit: Very impressed with young Ojo when he came on too. Thought he did more than enough to earn a place on the bench for Wednesdays game. Very quick player whos full of tricks.
