The CMs are doing their part. Good touches and they hold the ball well, so much so they even pushed forward to lend help to the ineffective attacking 4. Well minus Sterling ofcourse, he's carrying our attacking forwards lol.

Not the best perofmrance, but we were no where near our shittest form. And i've seen some terrible performances mind you.

This one is a mixed bag mainly because half the players were good, a couple or were outright amazing. But the attacking 3 of Borini, Gerrard and Suarez were awful.

Gerrard showed his age today and he struggled to keep up with the other 2 CMs. Borini was easily the most frustrating player for me. Couldn't cross or beat his man. On top of that, he shied away from challenges. Hate to see that. And Suarez needs to really calm down. Today is anotehr day where he chose to over complicate things when he could play a simple plus and maintain the momentum. Instead he kept ignoring other players and kept running into other players. Frustrating.

The plus was another potent display by Allen. What a silky footballer. He made some of his teammates looked like bunch of incompetents players. I like the little cameo by Sahin - he looks like a quick thinking, quick action player. Will come in handy im sure. Sterling is the real deal. Tenacious, gutsy, skillful. He has all the right elements to make it big and like Allen, put a very good performance. And only 17 ffs.

Does anyone know what's the deal with Assaidi ? Did he even make the bench today ? Weird that we've not seen him play in any of hte matches so far.

Here's something to calm the nerves ..

Andy Hunter ‏@AHunterGuardian
Question to Brendan Rodgers: Would you have released Andy Carroll had you known there was no replacement coming in? Answer: No.

Thanks. Was wondering why he hasn't featured so far.

Doni has gone back to Brazil .. some personal issues last i read. Reina has been sloppy. He should have used his legs for the 2nd goal. Much easier to drop to the floor and make the stop.

Harsh. Borini was bought as CF but he's been used out wide. Suarez is just hitting some bad form at the moment. We all know he can score for fun.

Yeah personal leave. Probably sunbathing on some Brazilian beach.

Please not Owen. Too many burnt bridges and he wasn't even good enough for the mancs , a team that could actually play some football. Our team is currently going through a transition, lots of bumpy road ahead and Owen will l struggle with us. And his fitness is questionable. This has Cole written all over it.

There has to be someone else.

Did Yesil or Assaidi play ?

What's the deal with this Assaidi fella ? I read a week ago he got into a bit of trouble. Didn't turn up for training because no one picked him up from the hotel or some crap like that.

Haha good one.
