Top 4 has always been our top priority this season, although we didn't deserve to lose to the arse today.

The Ox one on Suarez was a clearer peno.

I thought both of them were pens, honestly.

Gutted, but still chuffed with the general high flying performance.

Sturridge was off and Suarez is going through 'that patch' all strikers have. You can say that it was as simple as that but we were far too open at times and whilst I don't want to be too hard on the defence or team in general as we don't have the luxury of pulling WC players off the bench at a whim, this is one stat I don't like and needs sharpening up:

None of the top 13 teams have leaked more away goals than the Anfield outfit, who have now kept just one clean sheet in their last 12 Premier League away games.

Not sure Rogers can do much more than he has already in the centre of defence, but I'm hoping he can anyway!

Our defense needs to be sorted out. Its not rocket science really.

I don't think it is about defenders but more the defensive system. BR is an offensive manager and likes open play with a lot of attacking players. We will continue to concede and his plan is to outscore the opponent. Maureen for eg would have gone to Arsenal to play defence and try to score on the counter, we went there to attack and had the most possession. With so many attacking players (6-7 if you count the full backs who are very often up the pitch) we need 2 DM, like Mascherano and Alonso days, but we play with one in Gerrard. Allen and Hedo are no DM.

Don't think our defence was that much better last year when Skrtel even lost his place, we were better 2 seasons ago. Defence has been the weakness of BR overall.

No arguments there, but to have 3 CBs and 3 FBs injured at the same time is highly unusual.
