Great performance. Joe Allen looks a player. Coates looks comfortable at the back. Sterling the next John Barnes. I feel sick but happy at the same time. Not sure what Reina does anymore.

It's nowhere near th finished article but people are positive because of the performance. I was gutted with the 2nd goal but a few positives.
Allen looks a superb player, shelvey was excellent i thought, coates looks good on the ball and obviously sterling was impressive. I wouldn't get carried away with him though, think he'll be in and out the team this season.
Negatives was an obvious lack of a direct goal threat, hopefully that will be remmedied soon. Gerrard looked disinterested again too.
2 points dropped but we need to keep improving.

Lots of reasons to be positive but the there are two things that concern me greatly:
1. Lack of ruthlessness. We are carrying on from last season beating ourselves and not getting the result that our play should dictate. That game was 3 points in the bag and we fluffed it yet again. BR has called for ruthlessness - we need to start seeing it fast.
2. Playing the ball out from the back. I like to see teams do this but you have to have defenders with that ability. Agger can do it - but Skrtel is not and never will be a ball-playing centre half. If BR wants to play this way then buy another centre half with that skill-set. Carra and Skrtel will ship goals all season unless they can hoof it out of danger - it's in their DNA! Yes agree with that. Skrtel had no right to attempt a back pass from were he was. I knew before he hit it were it was goin never mind Tevez! Frustrating!

disagree there .downing is finished. id give borini more time but he needs to score goals. we dont need anther play maker, we need a goal machine. Watched Borini play 3 times already and is no good for me. I don't understand what he is supposed to do neither, he is not a winger but looks to be playing on the right wing and not a striker neither. Anyway we'll see, just hope that BR just feel obliged to play him because he bought him.

I'm honestly pretty happy with this. We probably should have won, but I would have been happy with a draw before the match. Rodgers' system looks good, it'll just take a bit more time for things to adjust. The Skyrtel error doesn't worry me so much. He's much better with Agger there to direct him. When the Dane comes back I see those problems straightening themselves out. What was more worrying for me was Lucas going off, but Allen did nicely for him. Borini I think deserves some more time, but I would not mind seeing Carroll play instead of him. I was glad to see Luis score as well, although he missed a few chances. Sterling getting a solid start is very good. I think this kid could really go far.

Yep i wouldn't worry about Skrtel but i thought Coates was ok he's a good passer bit sloppy with the tackles though, i know it sounds a bit optimistic but i saw major improvements today we look a better side under Rodgers. Sterling fits right in didn't feel under pressure, for once i felt very very comfortable with Kelly, Coates, Shelvey, Allen, Borini and Sterling. Their all still young not one of them is over 22 and they looked pretty good, maybe if we hadn't lost Lucas early on we would of won today. But im happy with a draw to be honest and im very confident of beating Arsenal at Anfield Saturday.

Really please with the performance, thought the effort was there it's just that we made silly mistakes which in the end cost us, I get the feeling it was exactly the same sort of game as when we played Arsenal first game of the season where Ngog score we played really well and then Reina threw the ball into the net in injury time to cost us three points.
I thought Skirtel scored a fantastic goal he really attacked the ball and I thought Suarez free kick was perfectly exacuted, brilliant the way he got it around the wall and away from Joe Hart.
The hard work starts now, we have a transfer deadline coming up on Friday the day after an important game against Hearts, the City game has provided us with a bit of a platform now so it's up to us to build on it if we are to achieve our goal of maybe a top six finish.
