KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Marks out of 10 against Arsenal

I would agree with you except for Henderson (at least an 8.5, a goal and an assist, MOTM for me). Stevie might get an 8 for me too. I don't know why Rodgers pulled of Sturridge instead of Wisdom for Enrique. If he wanted to take of Sturridge, I would have sent in Borini.

i agree. we needed to take wisdom off and bring on jose. with those two attcking we would have given arsenal something to think about

should he have made immediate substitutions? The players were not lazy, they pressed Arsenal repeatedly high up the pitch for 60+ minutes and then Arsenal got a goal from a set play that sucked the life out of us and gave them a boost.

there is not alot of blame for BR in terms of changes, any thoughts on this are ridiculous. we have however conceeded at least 3 times this season from set pieces where an overload has been gained at the far post - Utd, Oldham(i think). This has to change if we are tp progress.

Pepe Reina is sadly a liability and has now consistently over the last 3 season been beat from tight angles at the near post. Yes a good strike but his body psoition is far too upright resulting in him basically just standing there. Big games and Pepe tends to make an error in all of them. I would make it a priority to replace him this summer.

I don't blame Reina for the second goal because it was a rocket of a shot into the far corner. he was probably expecting a cross in that instance and he made some excellent saves throughout the game

From BR

"I think we probably didn't keep it at 2-0 for long enough. I was trying to get Jose Enrique on down the left because Luis had ran out of steam a little bit.

"He has a great capacity to work but that was his first time playing in that role. But Jose couldn't get his boots on and all that sort of stuff, and within five minutes it was two each.

I can never understand why footallers always take time to get ready

No sh!t.

Was I the only one who was really impressed with Andre Wisdom's performance last night?? He gave away a couple of silly free kicks but overall I thought he had a really good game.

I thought Hendo and Carra were both outstanding, and Downing, Gerrard and Agger played really well too.

I was VERY impressed with Henderson and Downing's workrate off the ball throughout the game. Both of them never stopped chasing to win the ball back - yet I saw someone giving Downing a '2' up above. Can't believe that.
