Venue : Stadium of Light
Salam, on 16 September 2012, Liverpool was the visitor in premier league match against Sunderland. Liverpool need to bounce back after frustrated period when lost to Arsenal before the international break. Liverpool start the game with fine performance for early 35 minutes, they play good possession football, accurate pass, and put high pressure to Sunderland. But, again defensive error has led to easily goal by Steven Fletcher. Gardner easily go through from our 2 defender (Johnson area) and cross the ball to Fletcher without good mark by Skrtel had cost the goal. Skrtel and Reina degrading performance this early season has to be really concerned by Brendan. Reina look lack of confidence in this game. Sunderland just had one attack opportunity during first half and they got a goal, this is not acceptable. In the second half, Liverpool play very well, we dominated most of the second half period. Thanks Brendan to put Gerrard in more deep midfield position, we can see that Gerrard performance has improved from Arsenal match last 2 weeks. Gerrard pass the ball much better and make several crucial intercept to avoid Sunderland from counter-attack Liverpool. With Gerrard play more deep in midfield area, this has give chance for Shelvey to go forward and we can see that Shelvey had make several threat to Sunderland. Joe Allen performance in this match was just moderate. Not the type of performance that we expected from him. Liverpool had again smash the ball two times into woodwork. It looks like we are specialist in hitting the ball to woodwork. The superb performance by Raheem Sterling in this match had shown to us that he is getting better and better for every match. Sterling can be the next Steve Heighway or John Barnes if he keep on the good work. Under the supervision of Brendan, Sterling perfomance is phenomenal and extra ordinary. IBWT, YNWA.
