James 8 hasn't been around for a while to write a match analysis so I have decided to. Liverpool went into this game having scored 12 goals in the last 4 games and conceding 1.Fulham had won 6 out of the last 7 at Craven Cottage and had scored 3 in their last few games at home. Maxi Rodriguez decided that anything Javier Hernandez could do...He could do quicker.Brede Hangelaand who Luis Suarez tormented for the entire 90 minutes let him go free and he instead of going for goal himself clipped a beautiful ball over for Maxi to make it 1-0 after 32 seconds. After 6 minutes it was 2-0 again beautiful play by Suarez whose industry was astounding fed Glen Johnson who crossed over for Maxi to volley home.After 15 minutes it was 3-0 Suarez again involved,great team-play by Liverpool,Mereiles was involved in the build-up,Dirk kuyt as lively as ever and now has added an end product to his overall endeavour stroke the ball past Schwartzer who let the ball squirm past him to make it 3-0. Liverpool were in full flow and created more and more chances.After a long punt by Pepe Reina,Luis Suarez got goal side of Hangelaand and was pushed in the back..penalty we thought,However the referee and the linesman were too far apart and no penalty was given. Second half.Fulham came out like a train in the second half,which we knew would happen after some harsh words by Sparky,and they scored after 55 minutes through Dembele.Fulham then huffed and puffed and after 70 minutes it was effectively game over,Maxi completed his hat-trick with the goal of the night.Schwartzer was at fault for at least 2 of the first 3 goals,However there was nothing he could do about this,it was exquisite. Suarez,Fulhams tormentor in chief scored Liverpools 5th,and he deserved to for the amount of graft he put in.Steve Sidwell scored a nice goal but it was little too late for Fulham,who overall were comprehensively beaten. Overall. Liverpool definitely need and this has been pointed out on this forum,a deep lying play maker to take the sting out of an expected on-slaught from the opposition.I still feel for the same reason that they also need natural width,as the midfield got very congested.However I can't fault any Liverpool player on tonights performance especially considering some of the players we are currently missing. There will be certain players wondering how they are going to get into this side,and it seems that Kenny is transferring home form into away form,and I made this point already that under Hodgson,Liverpool were the laughing stock of the premier league,not anymore.Liverpool are currently the most dangerous side in the premier league. With a few new signings everything and not just anything is possible.
What a time for my broadband to be broken. Had to listen on the radio and what's more had to suffer pundit sidekicik muppetry on the Hodgson era being the fault of the players. Sheesh.
Good article. It was an excellent performance yesterday. Kenny has transformed the team. Every player is working hard for the team and the results are showing our progress under King Kenny. The future seems very bright indeed.
It was my first attempt at post match analysis.It wasn't great,and I have however room for improvement. guys.
