Great game played by the reds last night. I gave Andy Carroll my MOTM but could have gone to quite a few. Felt he was a beast today, great link up and hold up play, his touch was good, his work rate was high, showed good awareness of the play around him, and finished his chance very well when it came. Then came that turn
like Suarez it was
Keep it up big man and you will be loved here!
I thought that Jose Enrique after a bad patch this past couple of weeks was back to his dominant best at left-back, that Jay Spearing was brilliant in the holding role, and his passing was very accurate, kept the ball brilliantly, and harried very well in defence. Was just like watching an angry Lucas operate.
I also thought Bellamy was once again superb, what a signing! A thorn in their side all game. Kuyt was vintage Dirk, working hard and bagging himself a goal. Pleased for him because I've said he was past it a few times this season, and although I stick by that, he has had a very good couple of games.
Charlie Adam in between giving the ball away at will did however manage to set up two goals which is a positive thing, a great Cross for the Carroll goal (not sure what the defender was doing allowing him that much time) and picked out a good pass to Dirk when usually he would shoot, glad to see him looking up (literally.)
Agger and Skrtel were completely solid when they did have to defend, didn't have much to do but did it well. Agger unlucky not to have scored a few times. Glen was also very good at sensing danger down their left and supported the attack well.
Wolves looked grim, but for our part we played very well.
Keep it up, red men!
