I can't see how anyone can be unhappy with that but I guess it depends on your expectations beforehand. Loads of positives and hopefully a platform/confidence to go on from.
I'm struggling to remember a game in which Johnson has played a better first half in an LFC shirt. Hopefully the competition for places will raise the games of all of those benched if they aren't fired out before the close.
Roll on Arsenal.

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. Hmmmmm If he is half as good as barnes he will be some player. But I would not saddle him with that burden he is a good prospect lets not put undue pressure on him these are some of the unrealistic expectation levels are fans put on things and what I have issues with, Sterling has played one first team premiership game and already he is talked about as being the next John Barnes, talk about pressure, nearly as bad as people talking about us being a top four Club just because we held City yesterday, no wonder we change managers every 3 years with those sort of pressures of expectation.

I doubt he feels any pressure from what someone writes on a forum. same deal with the top4 predictions. these are only opinions and will not affect one thing we do this season

Great Performance. Never looked like losing that game. But, missing link in final third. We scored from 2 set-pieces but never looked like scoring from normal play. Lack of penetration, maybe.
Ar Nu NON!

Lack of penetration, maybe. yep no penetration because no decent forwards, looks like until we address this problem its going to be the same as last season, its already shaping up that way with draws at home and nobody to score in open play.

Concerning Top4. We are in with real chance. Arsenal and Spurs looks to be in trouble this season. Newcastle needs to confirm their good performance last season, especially being in europa league.
Ar Nu NON!

Suarez is a good player, nowhere near world class like some suggest, he is fantastic outside the box with some unbelievable skills but the feller is hopless in front of goal, now that would'nt be much of a problem if he played in midfield but he plays up front and its his primary job to hit the net, this is why Heskey was slaughtered because he never found the net enough either, even though he was decent outside the box with his hold up play and bringing others into play.

So now Suarez = Heskey.
OK well yet again I dont know what to say to one of your posts.
But we all have opinions and that's what makes forums so entertaining.

Great performance for the following reasons
1) BR has shown that he is his own man and not a puppet of our players ie Carra and Downing left on the bench and Sterling and Coates given a chance
2) We outplayed and controled the game against the Premiership champions.
3) We played the system as BR envisaged and it looks as if in a very short term that the majority of players are getting to used it.
With regards to the first point, players will get picked in he first team on merit, if Gerrard keeps giving listless performances I have no doubt he will also be on the bench with Carra and Downing especially if we sign Dempsey and Sahin/Dempsey/Allen/Shelvey et all start playing better than Gerrard.
