we need more FPS games
Magical stuff from Suarez.
We were too adventurous early on in the half, we were over-committing before we had established control.
Still, great stuff overall.

At the moment Tan is wearing a pair of black leather gloves. He looks like a Bond villain.

Not much to say about the half really, obviously we've been far better than Cardiff and have created plenty of good chances. Suarez is as incredible as ever, and Henderson is fantastic in a free role without needing to play Gerrard's minder. It's been quite easy for them to hit us on the counter, and I suspect Lucas will be told to stay deeper now that we're 3-0 up.
Tan to sub himself on in defence to deal with Suarez?

You need your LW to just sacrifice his attacking game and help your LB out more, or replace Taylor if you have an alternative. Sterling is learning to use his pace to good effect against open teams, and you need a LB who thinks ahead rather than reacting against that kind of incredible pace, as its a race he'll always lose.
Suarez though, not sure what you do about him. You can't put one person on him, as he'll lose him easily. You can;t put 2 on him, as it fucks your entire team's shape. And even if you shackle him, everything he touches is turning into gold. Words can't describe the confidence he's playing with, he'd fuck anyone in this mood unless they can stifle the midfield and prevent the ball going near him.
Henderson beasting again, Sakho playing well. Skrtel needsto stop giving the ref a decision to make when he pulls shirts in the box, and he needs to stop fouling from unthreatening counterattacks. Just keep pace.

Jon Flanagan has completed more take ons (5) than Ashley Young has managed this season (3)

Should've at least had Medel man-marking him. Our main issue is that we sit back with six defenders inviting teams to come at us. That tactic was always going to cause issues today. And Whitts and Taylor having no pace down the left.
Hopefully at some point we'll see Cornelius up front with Odemwingie or Campbell.
Well he has to be in the squad. Whether he starts or not is a different matter.

Sterling or Januzaj?
Seriously though, if Sterling can maintain a decent level to stay in and around the first team as he progresses, he can become a real beast. Seems to be throwing his crosses into dangerous areas now rather than trying to hit a single player and ballsing it up in the attempt to get it too precise.
Wow that's a stat right there. What a guy
Gerrard got himself arrested last time Liverpool were top at Christmas.
Liverpool still got more points second half of that season.
And there's still two games to go!

Our LB cover on the bench is an 18 year old kid who's played two games.

Rooney's there. Does this mean Welburg/Chicha still play? Does this mean Kagawa is benched? Who knows.

Suarez's second reminds me of his Stoke FA Cup goal. Took me a second it realise it had gone in, was sure it went wide.
sucks. I just found out today that my great uncle died of cancer, fuck cancer in all species

Thing is, by the time he does that (if), Sturridge will be back who had a 1 in 1 ratio scoring against all the big teams for Liverpool.
Liverpool are playing liquid football, Suarez is a beast and erm... Henderson... is actually playing well without Gerrard messing things up. Thats the bigger issue is, when Gerrard comes back, does he go straight into the team? As that is Rodgers weakness, way too much in love with the guy for doing so little under him.

Young's going to play isn't he?
The only place I would put Gerrard in this team is on the right, in Sterlings position.
Keep him out of the middle
Gerrard's crosses are always the best from the right.
Also pushes him up closer to goal.
The only problem with this is that if we are buying Salah, then that is where he will play.

Suarez is a whole level above Sturridge. Right now Suarez is untouchable.
You are right abt Gerrard. Its about time Gerrard is phased out but in the world cup year i dont think Gerrard will let that happen.

No pacey midfielders who can cover there? Fight fire with fire
Not really, unless Noone switches to the left. Shame Bellamy isn't available, as could've chucked him on to kick the crap out of someone. Game is lost so would just like to see us go for it now.
Young Left, Valencia right. Wellbeck as SS and Chicharito as no.9. Cleverley in the midfield. Smalling RB.
