In hindsight I imagine Brendan will look at the team that started the game yesterday and reflect upon the number of new signings in the line up. Balotelli, Markovic, Moreno, Manquillo, Lovren and Lallana was probably a face or two too many I think. Particularly when you consider that Lallana hasn't had a pre season and Markovic didn't get much of one in terms of games. Quite the opposite to the settled 12-13 players who took part in the run in last season. It was always going to be tough losing Luis but take out Sturridge AND Sterling as he did yesterday.
