1. Lallana has apparently put a spell on most LFC fans. I have never been more shocked and ashamed by my fellow Reds supporters than today. Adam Lallana voted as Man of the Match? Why? Someone please give me a rational, logical explanation with examples and statistics. Gerrard, Henderson, Sterling, Lovren, Moreno, Manquillo, and Skrtel were all more deserving. Markovic is six years his senior and has never played 'English' football, though he wasn't much worse than the Prince of St. Albans. Seriously, is it the Anglo-Saxon halo that is blinding you?
2. Balotelli is a match away from being rubbished. Or at least he should be. Super Mario was all but and it's becoming more apparent with each match that he either doesn't want/understand/care to play our style of football. He stands around doing nothing, thinks he'll be able to perform magic once he gets the ball, and then looks like a donkey when he does. I think he forgot how much faster and more physical the EPL is compared to Serie A. He'll be longing to return to Italy soon enough.
3. Henderson's passing is becoming unparalleled. Some of his passes in the first half I have only seen the likes of from one Steven George Gerrard. Brilliant stuff. I am not a huge Hendo fan, but if he continues to move the ball around like he did today, it's only a matter of time. Not to mention he has all-round skills with an engine that never quits. The only issue I have with him is that he gets too excited and still let's his age show by turning the ball over, taking a bad shot, making a bad tackle, etc.
4, We can play defence. We held Everton to just a goal and it was a lucky one at that. Coming in the Blues had scored at least two goals in every previous EPL match. Lovren and Skrtel appeared to get along and neither went forward too often, but even when they did, they would dump the ball then get back. Everton actually had more possession and a free-flowing ball moment until they got close to the 18-yard area, then they got shut down.
5. Gerrard still has it. Though I'd still give Man of the Match to Hendo for his all-round performance, Stevie-G silenced his critics with an outstanding show. The free kick was just the icing on the cake as his passing was world class, not to mention he added three successful tackles and three clearances to his tally. He's far from done.
