Very good performance first half.
Very average performance second half.
Becoming a bit of a pattern that. Thought for the most of it though we were very good. Slick passing and good movement was great to see and there were some top individual performances.
Johnson was brilliant at right back. He was fantastic in defence which was great and was unlucky not to get a goal. Seems like he's determined to prove Roy wrong about them comments.
Meireles had another good game. I'm really starting to warm to the lad. He can pass it, dribble with it and throw in a good tackle.
Upfront I thought Babel and Ngog were top class. Great movement and good play almost everytime they got the ball. Ryan especially, he looked up for it at last and his finish was class. This is it for him, he simply has to push on from this and show us what he can do, because we know the talent is there somewhere.
But the man of the match by a mile was Lucas again. He was everywhere, won every tackle and hardly lost the ball. He dictated our play brilliantly and got a great assist for Babel's goal.
Well in to Reina for the 100 clean sheet and congrats to Fernando. Hope all is well too, Mrs Torres.
As some people have touched on, these good performances at home show the ability is there, it just needs to be unleashed more often and more effectively. If we try and do these things away from Anfield, we'd be in and around City's points total for sure but the odds are we will be back to the old sh*te at St James' Park next week so let's enjoy this now!!!
