If BR is bold enough, he should not start Gerrard in the next game. I was really disappointed with our captain last night. The sending off of Agger was cause by Gerrard giving the ball away. Apart from that, he didn't really show up much. Suarez was doing everything on his own. Borini was also very quiet.
The only positive thing is Joe Allen prove to be a much better passer than the captain last night.

For heaven sake, whatever happened to Enrique/ Robinson?! Johnson has been linking up very well with downing on the right during pre-season, why change that?

And please BR, I beg you not to start Carra against Man City speedy forwards. Coates should be given the chance.

There's a lot to learn from this defeat. A whole lot..

Do you watch Match of the Day?

Analysis of our game was that Glen Johnson was often roaming and running too far up the pitch where he was the furthest upfront even ahead of our forwards. So when he loses the ball, the right flank is there to be exploited. You can see that clearly in Podolski's goal. Of course he plays best as an attacking wing back but only if there is someone is there to do the defensive work for him, in the past there is Kuyt and then preseason there is Downing, now perhaps Borini should be doing it but he is a goalscorer it makes no sense for him to stay back when Glen roams forward.
