Liverpool 1-0 Anzhi - Post Match

[dww]

I think that the stage we're in, it's going to be steady progress. I think we're on our way to eradicate the stupid errors we were making early on. Still we're taking too many risks sometimes, but we're being more precise and confident with the way / philosophy that Rodgers is implementing.

I mostly agree with that. Just frustrating that at the minute we can't either a/ score frequently enough or b/ keep control of the game when we are ahead.

No reason to drop jones for Sunday

The only thing I dislike is the fact he gets under his hoofs and hits them like a golf wedge shot

Sterling is dynamite. Suarez and Gerrard have both been pretty disappointing tonight.

In fact Suarez has been really annoying tonight.

As much as Suarez creates opportunities it is quite annoying how there is a high percentage of no end product/failed dribbles. Playing Yessil for 2nd half would IMO have allowed others to create chances that a proper striker could put away instead of messing around with needless dribbles.

Job done. Bring on the bitters!!

It's risky to try and pass our way out of corners near our goal, and its ****ing annoying when it goes wrong, but its ace when it works, very satisfying.

I think people are being harsh on Sahin. His covering was good and his passing tidy. The midfield was a bit blunt with Gerrard so deep but we dominated posession and for most of the game had control of where the game was played.

I think he was one of our best players.

A fit Lucas would offer that little more backbone to the midfield as well.

I must have been watching a different game then because I thought Sahin was dominant. Anytime we lost the ball in the middle of the park, he was right in there fighting for it. Gerrard wasn't bad either, kept things nice and simple, passed the ball around and got himself into decent positions

It was superb when Agger and Downing worked the ball away from the corner, very satisfying

Yeah. Suarez is never going to score a lot isn't it? We need other players to feed off his good work, IF he doesn't decide to do it all his own way.

Key is for other players to get in and score.

I hope we don't to be honest.

Agree on Sahin,nothing spectacular but a good solid game

[Fosterbloke]

I thought we invited a lot of pressure in the end. Attack seems a little greedy with no through balls happening. Overall, very pleased with the win!
