Sums it up when our keeper is our best player on the night. We deserved to lose that, no doubt about it. Defence were a shambles, midfield were made to look bad because of Liege's tactics of the forwards dropping off to mark them, but the defence should have spotted this and tried to do more than just lump it. Carragher and Agger didn't win a header between them all night and we were vulnerable at set pieces yet again. Very sloppy performance.
On the bright side it can only get better. Also Benitez giving the like of Plessis and El Zhar responsibility in an important game is encouraging. Plessis will really benefit from having played that game.
I agree 99% with this.
the 1% is that carra won one header
