Liverpool vs Sunderland post match thread

[meffin]

Happy with the win, but we MUST build on it. Carry on this good form and don't get complacent

[Lecter]

Good result again

Got a difficult few games though over the next few weeks

[SB]

I can just imagine it......"it was Carroll and Cole that were the names.........."

[saj]

Seriously though, how **** were Sunderland? Or were we that good. I can't work it out.

[Chris]

They are/were **** but it's the same **** team that had got draws in their last 2 visits here so they still have to be ****ted. We played well.

[Neil Young]

I don't think they were anywhere near as bad as Fulham or QPR so I think it says more about how well we played than how badly they did.

Having said that, on another day they might have got back to 1-1 or 2-1 so although we ran out easy winners in the end it might have been different - tenser at least even if the same result.

In contrast Fulham did nothing and QPR were dead and buried before they even got anywhere close to threatening a goal (and even then failed anyway).

[Reece]

I thought we pressed and attacked at such a high tempo that they simply couldn't live with us. We were excellent IMO.

[Shaggy]

Yep all **** teams need to be hammered. They are ****, O'Neill is a total dinosaur, but we played really well.

[dww]

I think we are now at least making teams with clear weaknesses look like bad teams most of the time. I'm not sure we are yet a 'good' team in that we don't regularly capitalise on our superiority and also haven't forced solid teams (like Stoke) to look shaky, yet alone tearing into a side above us in the league.

Thought Stoke were fitter than us on the day.

Can you let that go now? Fitter than us my arse, they wanted it more and pressed us superbly. And got a bit lucky as well (Skrtel slipping). We were shocking but the result had nothing to do with our lack of fitness IMO.

Well you're entitled to your opinion. IMO, onion.

Henderson and Downing have actually shown in the last few games that they're not total ****houses and may in fact still have careers at the club.

agree, but it must kind of make us wonder why they were so reluctant to put the effort in earlier. is it because of the transfer window and they are looking to impress a new manager...

[RichC]

Maybe the style of play suits them better, seems we've moved to a slightly higher tempo game and less restrictive in terms of the short "tiki taka" passing based on the last couple of games.

Henderson has never lacked effort. Downing has pretty much admitted the threat of being sold give him a kick up the arse which is pretty sad really, playing for us on his millions a year should be enough, but thats always been his biggest problem.
