What I find "worrying" is the fact that even though we did win, there are still negative posts here.
Sometimes we lose a game and there are lots of positive opinions and sometimes we can win and it's the opposite. Such a fine line between winning and losing so winning the game doesn't mean you simply brush any deficiencies under the carpet and pretend they weren't there. Same as when we play well and lose but are unlucky it is important to take the positives from the game if they are there.
Bottom line today was to get the three points but on the flip side, there were some worries.
- Sturridge and Coutinho were marginalised for the majority of the game
- in the first half we had a lot of possession without looking like threatening their goal
- they were probably the better team from the moment we scored the first goal
- they really should have taken a couple of simple chances that came their way
Positives for me were
- The result
- An excellent debut from Dejan Lovren
- A solid debut from young Manquillo
- Another tireless performance from Henderson
- Some important touches from Raheem
- The result
