West Brom 3 - 0 Liverpool
Very disappointing start to the season. Although the referee was completely shit, we should have had this game by the scruff of the neck.
We just weren't up to it today.
Our finishing iis the biggest problem. Our passing is good, we can basically penetrate any defense, but when it comes to finishing, there's no end product. Borini was largely anonymous today, and when he did have the ball, he was nervous. Hopefully he can work out the kinks. Suarez, full of all his trickery, still needs to find the net. Downing was awful this game.
Midfield, couldn't really blame them much. Other than the give aways here and there, the combo of Gerrard - Lucas - Allen was pretty decent. I like the look of Allen, gets in when needed. Had a great first half but shy'd away in the second. Great to see Lucas back, but he still isn't 100% yet. Gerrard didn't have much of a game today either.
Defensively, we could have been much better. Agger's sending off was a huge blow as Carragher, the great servant he has been, just isn't good enough for today's game. Johnson is better suited for the right, and hopefully Enrique will be fit for next game.
Hopefully we can put in a better display in our next game.
