KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The Biggest surprise in the performance was...

...Carragher actually kept the ball on the deck! I Did lose my link for 10 minutes so correct me if he had 10 minute punting session. He was getting the ball, looking up then playing short passes to players near him. It made a big difference to our general play.

Correct Kingisback. Carra used to punt the ball up the pitch too much and the arrival of Carroll seen him do it more over the last few games, but last night he curbed all that and played short on the deck passes which start attacks, not hopeless balls forward that come right back.

king kenny probably had a word with him and rightly so because he was just hoofing it up the field everytime he got the ball.

I thought the biggest surprise was aurelio lasting the entire match!

plus 1

Haha, I was actually praying that he did too. I was watching with some friends and every few minutes I keep telling them, watch this guy will be injured soon and get subbed but suprisingly he kept going for 90mins. Its a sahem because if he was fit all the time our leftback problem would not exist because he's a terrific player and a good crosser of the ball too.

Been watching the goals over and over, and the thing that really stands out for me is that in the lead-up to each goal we have 8 men in their half. 8! EIGHT! In a season where we struggled to have even 1 up there at times, this is a hint of proof in the pudding. Maybe Kenny sent us out there to attack in the hope that Man City would not have much of a chance at our fragile back 4, but the fact that we were so good at the back as well really brought it all together.

Bring on the Gunners...

8!

well thank god for some things not changing. Lucas put his shot in row Z as usual.

if HE had of scored i think i would have had a stroke.

Dirk Kuyt for me! You get tired of hearing about his work rate but his touch and passing are awful most games. He actually kept possession for much of the game and did a great job getting back to help Flano. Good goal as well.
Carra still lumped it but got away with shorter passes because of City's disinterest in being on the park.

Flames what a stupid bloody comment to make.! yes he had one shot that went hi and wide but to highlight that in an otherwise wonderful performance is nothing short of pathetic.
