What I like:
- Nothing other than Hodgson's willingness to be more adventurous by playing 4-4-2 even in a very tough away game against Man. City. If he attempted 4-2-3-1 defense + counter, Liverpool could still have failed against a very strong Man. City side at home. At least, Hodgson is willing to introduce new idea to the team. Fans should give him time as it's clear the team is still in re-building stage.
What I don't like:
- Plenty.... With Mascherano refusing to play for the team and Poulsen still needs time to settle, Hodgson was forced to start poor Lucas in CMF. With Hodgson seemingly already given up on Aqualini as he was loaned to Juventus, Gerrard needs to drop back to CMF role. Without the suspensed Jole Cole and natural wingers, Torres and Ngog were not supplied with scoring chances.
- Agger struggled as LB and LFC really need to sign a LB quickly. As much as we need a quality forward to partner Torres, we need a natural winger badly. Now Mascherano must go, as he affected the lockroom spirit as well. We need to get $ from his trasnfer to get a CF,LB and WG.
Best moment:
None. Appreciate Hodgson's bravey in playing 2 up-front in away games. We need to play more attacking football in away games in the future. However, we need to get natural wingers and a good CF to partner Torres.
Worst moment:
Another Reina's mistake in the 2nd goal. Hope he will regain his form and confidence. Skrtel's penalty concede is silly!
LFC Player of the game:
Gerrard plays well and he was unlucky not to score as his shot hit the woodwork as LFC tried to come back from a 2 goal deficit.
