We are not making it easier for ourselves in these 2nd halves are we, fucking hell we were all over the place for about 40 minutes and then got some composure towards the end when they started to tire
HighlightsSturridge - fucking love him, there is a big difference between a player who scores 3 goals in a game against beaten sides and a guy who is scoring winners every week. What a signing
Johnson - shame about the injury but he was excellent today. Every once in a while he turns in that sort of performance that reminds you why we paid so much money for him, he was excellent today
Skrtel - two years ago he was our best player, last year he was persona non grata. There is a fine player in there but he needs the right partner and the right coaching. Id be sorry to lose him if he does go. MOM for me
Worries
Coutinho - he just didnt want to know today, his passing was poor, work ethic was low and he seemed to be spent after about 40 minutes. Beginning to worry about his fitness levels, hes been poor in the 2nd half of every game we played this year
Aspas - looked badly out of his depth, it was Borini Mk II for him today, plenty of effort but he was just nowhere near the pace of the game
Priorities? - we have brought in 4 defenders this summer and only lost 1 from last years first team squad. We look really short in midfield having moved on or loaned Suso Shelvey Downing and Spearing with only Alberto and now Moses coming in, it showed 2nd half when we needed to make some changes and had very few options, most of which were teenagers with little experience in these games
