Fair... I would say Stewart looks like he could make himself a career somewhere. He's not brilliant but he's quite competent little player. Smith is indeed getting a lot and also doing a lot with it and is basically our best player. Joe Allen is playing well as you'd wish. Benteke is trying far to hard and needs to calm down "stay cool" and take a chance on. He's missed on sitter, taken a free I was disappointed teix didn't want and fell over it 3 times over complicating it. Do one thing, do it positivily and deliver... simple. Enrique is a liability. He is going to get caught out some time. Ibe is still holding it too long and delivering total **** as well. The boy needs to really go back and work on his game. Blessed with pace but just isn't getting it done. Mingolet caught one Must be very cold by now.
Allen seems to be playing further forward and is more positive than when his Dad was manager. We are putting more high balls into the box which Benteke needs to get on the end of for knock downs if not headers on target. I think he is trying harder tonight, maybe too hard, but its a bit like watching a 2 yr old tasting lemon for the first time.
A lot of poor high balls defenders can come to and knock away not over them where a big man can cause chaos though. Enrique tosses a lot aimlessly up there
This lot are however the worst team I've ever seen turn up at Anfield. It must be said. They try and credit to them but they just are no good
Well aware. Just saying compared to other similar levels we've seen they have offered nothing. So 1-0 is poor fare here
FLANNO! FLANNO! FLANNO! FLANNO! FLANNO! FLANNO! FLANNO! FLANNO! FLANNO! FLANNO! FLANNO! FLANNO! FLANNO! FLANNO! FLANNO! FLANNO!
Fast ball from Flanno. Benteke shocked. Ibe rhenium runs it right out of play. Must deliver. Move it once and deliver not run run run.
