its way oversized. Can looks like Kayvan Novak from Fonejacker.

Great 3 points. First half was brilliant, although Sunderland were awful were pressed and pushed them back the first 45 mins. Thought Markovic and Coutinho were outstanding in the first half. Borini worked hard and provided a good outlet, even though he is a poor player.

Defensively i thought Can & Skrtel were solid & Lucas was brilliant. Another solid performance by Marty !! Sakho was ok, few very hairy moment but one brilliant tackle and then a break, took huge pressure off us as Moreno was walkabouts. I didn't think Moreno did Sakho any favours today. Henderson worked hard but his passing was terrible, Coutinho's passing in the second half was shocking but IMO he's been superb over the few games.

When Lovren came on in the second half we just looked so out of sorts. Poxy second half display but great result. A fully fit Sturridge will do absolute wonders for our attack... we've essentially been playing without a proper forward (no offence to Lambert or Balotelli) all season.

Where was Sterling out of interest?

Brendan's early season stubbornness is looking more and more daft with this run. Although its still not there yet, there's a fair bit to be optimistic about.

Sakho looks far and away the best defender at the club
Can looks good every time he gets game time
Gerrard looks reborn further forward
Lucas is a defensive midfielder! Lucas plays well there!
Mignolet kept a clean sheet!
Lovren looked **** when he came on - a disastrous signing, a disastrous man.

Enjoying a midseason break in Jamaica, as part of a plan to keep him fresh.

Maybe he was trying to adapt the team to the loss of its best two players? He stuck with it giving the team the time to adjust, then changed it when he realised that it wasn't going to work.

What we see with Can and Markovic is that it takes time for new players to settle and that knee jerks on a run of bad results isn't always a good way to manage the team.

I like the positive outlook but he changed it due to injury and no other reason. He's sticking with it on merit though which is positive at least.

You're a mind reader then?

He changed it when he saw how well it worked v Basel when we were down to ten men. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Having said that, prior to that game he'd got 7 points out of 9 in the league, so you could see improvements were already being made. Depends how much of a dour and sad individual or happy go lucky person you are really.
