Really positive second half. Thought most players grew into the game - first half belonged to Allen, Skrtel and Migs. Far more candidates in the second half but Allen was brilliant. Very good little player to have in the squad. Can struggled as did Sturridgr but Lallana continues to offer absolutely nothing. Skrtel seems to have found his best position and he's doing well there. Sakho struggled initially but grew into the game was back to beasting. Loved it when Swans started jeering every time he was on the ball - by the end of the game, he was running through their team. And for once, Gerrard wasn't a liability. Played pretty well. Still wouldn't have him starting any games.
Well done lads - excellent game, we were better in the first half, but more importantly you were better, and won, the second half. It was always gonna be a goal like that that won it - bit flukey but then again if you put balls into dangerous positions these things do happen (something we didn't do enough). Think a draw would have been a fair result but don't begrudge you the 3 points. Must also say that your fans were the loudest we've had down the Liberty this season - as Brenda would say 'they were oytstanding!' One question though; is Sterling still getting tired as he seemed to spend most of the match on his arse moaning? On this performance we should get past the 47 points we got under Brenda's reign and hope you get into the top 4 - good luck for the rest of the season, hopefully we can do you a favour at Arsenal in May!
The biggest positive from tonight was Rodgers showing how tactically brilliant he is. Perfect tactical change at half time won us the game, most managers would have left it how it was and hoped the players would improve.
Deserves credit for a great second half performance but also deserves criticism for an awful first half - insisting that the full backs sit deep , which hasn't worked whenever we have tried that. Just hope he sticks to having the wing backs being aggressive and playing higher.
You've all got me to thank for last night. In the last three games I've watched at the Grange, the same thing has happened. I said I was going for a piss and a *** as we always score when I do that. Balotelli scored. The next time, the same thing (Not Balo). I got a standing ovation for that one. Then last night. First half we were ****e. I needed a piss and a pint. I said I wasn't going to use it yet as it never works when I get a pint as well. We didn't score. The next time I said "This time for real. Piss and a ***. We always score when I do that". The whole club was up when I came back in. Are you watching Manchester? Monumental win, that
Jojo tried very hard yesterday and wanted to spoil the party. Winning when you're not playing well is part of the game !
