just seen this stat:

Liverpool have taken more points from their last nine Premier League games (23) than they took from their opening 17 of the season (22).

Great image to hang on his wall.

edit: Little Joe at the back.....'me now me now...hug me! hug meeeee!'

That Moreno lad is right stubby little munter all the same.

We rode our luck first half but I thought it was a very good, pragmatic performance in the second half. We soaked up the pressure very well and hit them on the break. Similar to some of the Euro performances under Rafa. This is a sign that this team is evolving.

Lets put this in a little perspective.....

Can and Markovic needed to play out of position due to injury to Sakho. On the other side of the back 3 Lovren played with a young and raw Ibe. This in itself is a big change. It looked a little nervy to begin with but as the game went on it got better, especially with the introduction of Moreno.

Skrtel was immense throughout....

I'll diverse a little. Playing a back 3 is great. Yonks ago, I played for a manager/trainer and he was way ahead of his time with formations. We played 3-4-3 or against the lesser teams 3-3-4.

Playing a back 3 was fantastic. It is easier to work as a unit. Plus you need to play agressively and attack the ball. I loved playing in the middle as Skrtel is doing. Hats off to him he is immense at the moment

Do you get a lot of respect if you walk around with "Junior Steward" on your back?

I see Downing (steward right) has found his true meaning in life

Very much so.

You could visibly see Southampton push forward to stop us playing out from the back knowing that we had no long ball (or at least an out ball that would stick) and we were surrendering possession in our own half. Rodgers addressed this, we held our shape and our counter-attack was swift and in numbers. Rodgers had confidence in our ability to defend and shows he's not all about scoring more than the opposition.

My impression of Southampton is they play semi louis van hoofball

[Muddled]

They tried the ball up to Pelle and having runners either side of Skrtel to play the percentages, but when they realised Skrtel was in inspired form, they tried to go around us. To be fair to Koeman, he mixed it up but Rodgers had all the answers.

He is that.

He's that kid that would run down the street, fall flat on his face, and when everyone expects him to start crying, he just gets up with a huge grin on his face proudly holding up his bleeding hands! complete with little stones embedded in the skin!

[Assassin]

Yes they had a lot of #moyseys into the middle from the flanks

What. a. strike from Cout! Lovely!

Thanks for that. Their 1st penalty claim was never going to be given. Their other one plus Sterlings claim could both have been given in another day. Also the Mignolet handling the ball claim would have been harsh from where the linesman was.
