Half time analysis: We need to start passing the ball around the middle abit more, keep possesion, keep Gerrard and Adam in the centre and bring the full back's on the overlap. Overall a good first half which has been relatively creative, just need the finishing to improve. Suarez has got a tendency to 'trip over flat surfaces' relatively easily so I think KK might need to give him a few words in his ear.. Individual player analysis: Reina - Some good saves and looking like he'll have one of them secure games. Johnson - Great going forward and hasn't been caught defensively, some good runs on the overlap would be very helpful. Carragher - Good so far. Skrtel - Impressed with his performance, relaxed and is just doing his defensive work well. Enrique - Looking as solid as usual, good overlap runs and great control. Downing - Needs to improve his accuracy overall, his crosses and shots have been relatively lacklusture. Gerrard - Needs some more involvement, a good pass from him could be vital. Adam - Good performance so far, criticised him previously for shooting from the half way line all the time, today his passes have been brilliant. Bellamy, Kuyt & Suarez - Improve finishing and stop getting caught offside!
On a positive note.. Suarez looks world class again, his movement is second to none! I'm worried for other teams when he find's his scoring boots, the same ones he had at Ajax
Lets hope PL can turn it around. We have not been bad by any means but we can play better. Having said that, Kenny has done his homework and has worked out how to stop us - attack, attack and pile on the pressure - credit to him for that.
Hopefully that goal will help us relax a bit more in front of goal and get a couple more. Really hope we don't take our foot off the pedal and we start the 2nd half the same way we did the first.
Bellamy, Enrique and Suarez are all wearing some really nice boots today please log in to view this image
Why do we put about 4 or 5 brilliant crosses into the box today when we have Kuyt, Bellamy & Suarez challenging for them. Yet when we have Carroll in the team we can't cross for toffee!!
