Whatever was said to Downing before this game, whatever he ate, whatever he wore, whatever he did needs to become a hardened ritual, because he looked a totally different player. My MOTM (I was tempted to give it to others, but while the game was actually in the balance, he was the one who stood out and made a difference).
And what more can be said about Suarez? He's a wonder on the ball. If he can improve his finishing he'll be unstoppable.
Good games from Carroll, the back four, and Adam. Gerrard had his moments, great and disappointing. He still looks a little sluggish to me, no doubt a side affect of his injury.
Only thing negative to say is about Hendo. I don't see the point of playing him on the right. Might as well start Kuyt or Maxi.
