SG in the final third is, was, and always will be a beast. What games he's played this season have seen him sitting back and avoiding the action, either by choice or instruction, and he simply showed last night how foolish that was. Except for Torres he's the best finisher we've had at the club since Owen. Other LFC strikers should hang their heads in shame at being so outclassed by a midfielder at their game.
I've resigned myself to seeing Henderson on the right for the rest of the season. Maybe if he can learn to cut inside more often like he did for the second goal he'll start to be more effective.
I didn't see the whole game - not televised on my package, it was all Champs League action, bah! But from what bits I've seen and read, Kelly was immense again. Seriously thinking about buying his shirt next season.
I would be quite happy to see this XI each week, just with more of Kuyt/Bellamy on the right, and Coates at CB. If Gerrard is going to roam forward like that, then I'm happy to see Maxi on the bench.
With that hattrick, Gerrard is now our leading scorer in 2012 (in the league). He also becomes only the 3rd player to score more goals for us than our opposition in the league. Not sure about cup goals, but I think he's leading scorer in all competitions now. And to think how few appearances he's made...
Amazing how good we are after Kenny revs them. Last time we were dire we followed it with a 3 goal massacre as well.
4th is still gone, but now we can look at securing 6th at least. More dropped points yesterday would have been a back-breaker. Next game is QPR, one of the few teams worse than us in the league this year.
And Stoke should be a little more apprehensive this weekend.
