Just what we needed after the Etihad disappointment. We're alright at football aren't we ?
Sterling was fantastic. Gave the Spurs defence a nightmare, constantly a threat with his intelligent runs forward and turn of pace. We started the second half really well, didn't let them back in it. Balotelli worked hard today, just needs to be more clinical. Sturridge may not have scored but he linked up well with Henderson (outstanding today) and Sterling. Gerrard once again with nerves of steel for the penalty, his passing was wayward in the first 45 but he improved in the second half.
Both full-backs were terrific. What a run from Moreno who instantly becomes my favourite LB of all time (not a hard achievement given some of his predecessors but still). Wins the ball, runs 70 yards and bangs in into the net. Instant hero. Manquillo was great too, did all the basics right, got forward to join in on attacks and defensively solid.
Yes there's still flaws to be ironed out with our defence but there will be teething issues when you have a totally new look back five. Nothing that hours on the training pitch won't sort out.
Our passing was very sharp today as was our pressing - Eriksen didn't have a sniff. Brilliant effort from the lads. Rodgers got it spot on with his tactics.
Oh one last thing - are you watching, are you watching, ARE YOU WATCHING REAL MADRID ?!
