      We seem to passing the ball around more often recently.I'm impressed with the patience shown.Great build up play for all three goals,fantasic unity and spirit shown. Wish Skrtel all the best.

      Only down side is the Knee injury to Martin Skirtel and can only hope that he recovers quickly...
      Looks like we'll be calling on Sami Hyypia some more for the next few weeks or months anyway

      Still can't understand why Keane was dropped but it all paid off in the end I suppose.

      Yes it did.  When Keane was back on the pitch.

      Let's not beat round the bush.

      Dropping Keane for Masch was the wrong choice.

      Playing Alonso AND Mascherano with one striker was far too defensive.  That was giving far too much respect to Man City.  Changing your side to make it more defensive sends the wrong signals out to your own players and bigs up the opposition players.

      4-4-2 Home and Away please.

      I fail to see why Everton away and Man City away required two different formations.

      I wanted the formation he played but Keane in for Kuyt because whatever happens he ends up tracking the ball wherever it goes. It was wrong though in the end and about 5 minutes before kick off i knew it wouldnt be good.

      However, it just served this comeback more justice and a thrilling match to behold. I knew once we scored we would get something out of it but i didnt think we would do it in that fashion. Fernando cant get enough wraps, he wasnt in it at all in the first half and just exploded in the second.

      Cant fault one player for their commitment at the end of the day because thats what got us back in it and put 3 points on the table.

      Just over the moon, only we could do that. Just brilliant! Rafa was clearly delighted after that and i think it struck him more today than ever not to change a winning line up.

      And get well soon Marty. A massive blow that Dagger will have to take with both hands.

      Fernando Torres, Liverpools number 9!

      Same formations when we actually did the 'winning' though.

      4-2-3-1 worked well towards the end of last season, so it's not exactly a bad formation.

      ... But I do agree that it sends out the wrong signals - I was wondering why he'd dropped Keane, as was 99% of the world's population.

      Especially after calling for him to score this weekend. Must have kicked hi mto the gutter after scoring his first for the club, feeling no pressure and as if the shackles were taken off and then this. He came on and did a good job though.

      Actually starting to think that Nando 'needs' him there.

      Oh and well done Rafa, i would have brought on Babel instead of Yossi but he showed class every time he touched it and started the move for the last goal.

      Fantastic result. 3 Points we never looked like getting up to half time. Second half, every player in red seemed to get a lift and believe it was winable. Different class to city and we havn't hit top form yet. Can't wait for the next game now. Internationals getting in the way. Hope we don't lose our consistency now. Come on you mighty reds.
