This should be an interesting game. I think that this this is originally the way BR wanted to set up his liverpool side before the SaS partnership started to flourish. I'm looking forward to seeing Markovic, as i am hoping we can rotate between him and Sterling seamlessly. I also hope Lallana proves my skepticism wrong.
Bit of early pressure from Villa. Never sure how that's a foul when the player kicks it passed someone standing 6 inches away from them and then runs into them. As if they are meant to magically disappear from the pitch so the player can run onto it.
Balotelli should have called for that header, was running onto it, free header. Markovic took it off him.
Maybe Rodgers learned from last year where Gerrard played deep on his own and got marked out of the game.
Why are our defenders incapable of controlling the ball today? Been first to it every time then gave it away with first touch. Ffs what was our keeper at there?
Dunno what Sakho was doing there. And Lovren did poorly with Senderos. And the rest of our players should've reacted a lot faster to a bouncing ball in the middle of our goal.
FFS Lovren been learning from Agger and Skrtel in the art of marking. Picked up the "grab a player and hold on for dear life" from Skrtel and then "let your man get goal side of you" from Agger Shocking, sloppy goal.
Hard to blame the keeper, it was pinball in the 6 yard box. Lovren's fault for not dealing with Senderos properly.
It had been pretty even. You usually think we're getting battered if we haven't scored after 2 minutes.
