sh*t performance? No, not good enough on many levels, but some things were done well.
We pressed Arsenal well and for the first 20 minutes we forced them into playing long ball football, which we dealt with well. Reina was looking uncomfortable all game. Actually think this is the best I've seen from Enrique in a while, not great but better than Johnson. Agger was OK, Sktrel too, but no more. Allen & Sahin looked like they they'd been born passing the ball, Gerrard was poor, worse in the first half than the second. Borini, give him credit where it's due, he tracked back well, but that was all, Sterling had a good game, still learning though. Suarez was off the pace & one dimensional, was denied a penalty, maybe two but giving the push by Mannone would have been harsh.
For me the only real differences were Diaby, who was my overall MOTM, and the fact they created clear cut chances, something we didn't do until the last 5 minutes.
