A good performance from the players, especially at the beginning, but a second defeat nevertheless. Brodgers' style of play is becoming more apparent but a combination of personal mistakes from 2 stalwarts and lack of front firepower consigned this team to near-bottom of the league going into the 2 week international hiatus. The 2 in question are none other than Stevie G and Pepe. While the former has looked under the weather since the beginning of the season, Pepe had a decent game except for allowing the ball to squirm under him, although I would not blame him too much as the quality of the delivery from Santi Cazorla was excellent. Liverpool's profligacy in the late departed transfer period is becoming more evident as goals are becoming difficult to come by despite good appproach play. Hence the nonsensical mention of Owen by those wishing to sensationalise the current situation of only 2 first team strikers. Whatever it is, Joe Allen is looking to be the best buy of the last 2 seasons, and Nuri Sahin made an impressive debut.
