Review: Liverpool 1 Queens Park Rangers 0

BLUNT REDS BEAT HOOPS

I'm pleased i was close with my prediction of a 2-1 pool win, and the performance of the lads on the day.

We could of easily been 3-0 up within 20mins as we pummeled the QPR defense, with the QPR keeper being in particularly good form. I thought we passed the ball well, making lots of runs and creating quite a number chances. We were unlucky to go into the break still at 0-0 as i thought we dominated the game with Suarez, Downing and Skrtel having particularly good games,

Suarez rises unmarked 7 yards out to head Liverpool's winner

Not 90 seconds had past in the second half when continued Liverpool pressure saw us win another corner, Adam lifted the corner in for it be headed back to him by the 1st defender he floated the ball back in and a napping QPR defense saw an unmarked Suarez saunter in and head into the bottom left hand corner.  1-0 pool!

Adam and Suarez celebrate the goal

For all our attacking play we couldn't find that second goal, and with 20mins to play QPR changed their tactics bringing on a second striker after playing most of the game with only 1. This changed the balance of the game as QPR tried to find the equalizer Liverpool only saw 12% of the ball.

Time ran out and Liverpool take the 3 points, over the course of the 90 mins we were the better team and fully deserved to win, but we still a little goal shy which has, and will cost us in games against tougher teams.

FTK MoM: Luis Suarez

Luis was top of the class again. QPR couldn't handle him,
He was a real threat and was great value for his goal. creative,
energetic, skillful and lethal. perfect combination
