Sterling, for me, is getting a lot of undue stick. He does need a rest, but all of this shit touch, can't finish yada yada yada stuff is way over the top.
In almost every game this season he's been our most potent attacking player (not saying much but still) and today it was the same again. I really dread to think how much worse this team would've been without him this season.

* Lucas doesn't make our midfield tick, but he gives our defense more protection
* If we put Balotelli + Lambert + Borini together we'd have a decent striker
* I don't really think this is Rodgers' fault - we should have ended this game well before their equalizer. No urgency from the players ... too many casual passes etc
* Not really that bummed - could be worse, we're only a few points from 4th! 😉

Rodgers attempt at winning ugly meant playing exactly the same way we always do only with a slightly different setup with slightly different personnel. That's just not going to cut it.
I felt he missed an opportunity to take control of the game earlier in the second half. We should've brought on someone that could hold onto the ball and create, like Coutinho. They were leaving themselves wide open time and again.
Awful awful performance by the team and for me, poor in-game management.

4th in our group?
There was 5 mins to go ... and he was still causing them all sorts of problems.

ha ha... best thing I've seen all night
No regrets, we have a one off cup final vs Basel, and home advantage.
I would have said committed and motivated. We stopped a losing streak and have a one off cup final vs Basel with home advantage in a fortnight.
Football's such an easy game, even 10 year olds in school know how to pick a team out of their classmates that would be good.
How can you buy 100 million pounds worth of players and be so appallingly static and out of options in attack? what the fuck were they doing in the summer? this squad was all about having options yet we have no option.
Only thing we had today after the midfielders passed it to the defenders and the defenders passed it back and so forth for decades was to send a long ball to Manquillo, no option other than that.

Haha! BR saying we were outstanding? Good god. How on earth are we meant to motivate our players to reach the right level if a bang average performance like tonight's is classed as outstanding by the manager?
Let's just applaud mediocrity and stagnate at this level shall we.

Yeah, he's not the first very good player to miss a one on one.
Think Gerrard and he need a few games playing near each other to make things work. Gerrard made a few runs which Sterling could have found him on but looked elsewhere. Also, while I thought he did pretty well, Lambert had the chance to put Raheem clean through early in the 2nd half but turned it back behind him. The through ball was so obvious it actually required greater vision to pass it behind him.
I reckon that's about right.
Maybe harsh on Skrtel and generous to both Ming and Henderson but about right.
Let's be honest - there were only two players who could have played that ball for the second goal. Fortunately one of them had the ball.
He missed a one on one - same as Suarez, Gerrard, Rush, Aldridge, Torres and Owen have all done. Otherwise he gave them a torrid time, set up our equaliser and generally looked our most dangerous attacker.
If he'd got it the result would have been different but he's still 19 and was the reason we were in front - very unfair to hang the draw on him.
