I know the ref has to do his job properly, but Lovren was stupid to make that foul so close to the box, there was always a fair chance that it'd be wrongly given as a penalty. All he had to do was take a step back, delay Berahino and wait for Skrtel and Manquillo to regain their proper positions.
Wonder if Gerrard's fitness is up to playing there from the start. With Coutinho's form, and Sterling's fatigue, we may find ourselves short of players to satisfactorily slot into the 3 positions behind the striker(s) soon.
Odd performance by Johnson, didn't attack at all, just defended really well. Everything he did well was a result of thinking quickly and cutting out the danger before it gets near the box, which is something that is normally a weakness for him.
