Reluctant to post on this thread following the Blackburn game when so much shite was being posted by others, but here goes.
Positives from tonight's performance are obviously:
Gerrard back and looking strong, how does he create the space he does? With him back in the team we will develop into a much more consistent game winning team.
Team showed another dimension to our play. So many saying after the last game we are predictable. Thought we played slightly deeper today which might have offered N'castle more possession but worked to our advantage in the end.
Martin Skrtel's performance, that clearance was immense. Really like the guy, playing with passion and he is proving many critics wrong, good on him.
Thought Andy's contribution was good and he only made a few mistakes, acceptable and understandable given his role. I bet he goes to bed tonight creaming himself that Gerrard is back, he is going to thrive on the world class delivery Stevie will provide.
Don't think anybody had a bad game and all made a contribution.
That team has the ability to score from every single position, been a long time since we could say that (waits for the AC jokes).
Negatives:
Only that we started slow, perhaps that was a result of playing deeper - if it was at least we got the result.
Conclusion:
We have a way to go but I firmly believe, not hope, that we will move up a gear now. It is plain to see we have many new players who are functional at the moment but just need confidence in order to feel more comfortable playing for LFC. It must be a very intimidating feeling playing for the reds......let's all get behind them and we can achieve 4th come the end of the season.
Happy New Year to the team and to RAWK.
Red Scouse.
