Henderson spots it, then takes off like a scalded cat, tracks Lallana's man, makes the tackle, then gives the ball to Lallana. As if to say "this is the work rate we expect here." He really set an example. I think the biggest thing we miss about Suarez is the fact that his work-rate was infectious, and you need to lead from the front. I don't see this work-rate in Lallana, but was happy with Mario's efforts last night.

Overall, I found his ability on the ball to be extremely good. He had some great through balls and crosses, and I'm expecting him to be a really good player for us. Saved our asses with the tackle after Sakho slid too early, and a few moments later he's putting the ball in for Balotelli's goal. He also laid one right onto the head of Henderson, as well. Manquillo was very solid, and put a great ball in himself at one stage. He supports the attack well, and throws himself about when needed also. Winning the penalty was massive. I don't think you can ask too much more from your fullbacks, tbh, especially on a night when everyone else around them were so poor. Don't think Henderson was anything amazing last night myself, tbh. He did grand, but he's capable of far better (as is everyone)

You're wrong in the fact that he was inside our own half multiple times helping the team out defensively. He wasn't busting his balls ala Hendo, but he wasn't just standing idly by outside the box either.

Unfortunately I don't see that changing while Stevie is playing the quarterback role. Really we need some sort of Claude makelale/ yaya toure hybrid in there but I can't think of anyone realistic who would be available and any team that has a player like that won't want to sell

Gbear wrote: » Gerrard was ok. Just isn't involved a whole lot in our general play these days. His set piece delivery was mostly pretty poor. Nice to have a virtually guaranteed penalty taker though. I'm eager to see what our midfield looks like with someone more mobile. It's a bit sad seeing what was such an amazing player doing a menial task that pretty much any of our midfielders could do just as well.

If I remember right, Rodgers said last week that Lambert would play in the cup game. Maybe he meant the capital one cup! Maybe Borini is showing more hunger in training to prove a point.

They'd be all like, "Do I what! Lets be having it!". Some fucking shock the poor bastards would get. Then again, maybe that's how they lure the terrorist to Guantanamo in the first place?All that bending over and shouting, and proclaiming Jihad and stuff. It looks tiring mate. Have a holiday on us. Go on. Nice little beach resort. Sea, sun, and sand. What more do you want? Activities you say? Tell ya what, we'll bring ya waterboarding. That sounds fun, doesn't it?
