Gerrard of old takes this game by the scruff of the neck. No sign in this game unfortunately.

Too deep.

[SimonNo7]

I've never seen a striker that just stands there and waits for the ball to come to him so much

To be fair, for a number of seasons that's how our whole team has been for large periods of a season, we can be very statuesque!

True, but the Gerrard of old would have had a Hamann or a Mascherano along side himto do 'the dirty work'. Having Adam alongside him restricts him IMO

[SimonNo7]

Skrtel is ****ing boss, player of the season for me.

Keep the pressure on lads.

I have to admit I didn't think he was good enough for us and would of been happy to see him sold, but this season, alongside Agger, he has been superb.

[SimonNo7]

Unlucky Skrtel, well played Bellamy for keeping it in play.

Kin ell, skrtel > carroll

[Exiled_red]

Good effort from Skrtel saved

[Daniel 7]

Sky's commentary isd a lot better. They seem to let the game to a lot more of the talking, not feeling the need to punctuate with Lawro style "witticisms" Whoever told Lawro he was funny needs to have violence inflicted upon him. The bloke is a ****ing tool

[Shanks]

Perfectly set up for Suarez to get the winner.

[badpiggy]

Skrtel needes to start coaching Carroll about positioning for corners

[SimonNo7]

Says a lot about our strikeforce when a centre half is our most dangerous player...

[Imy]

Carroll's heading accuracy is so poor.

[spud_gun]

They look as though they've parked the bus now.

Got to get a winner.

yes, spearing for Adam would actually make us more attacking.

[Gibbo]

4 attempts out of 21 on target, terrible stat
