FLAT LIVERPOOL FALL TO BLACK CATS
Saturday saw Liverpool take on Sunderland at the stadium of light in the Barclay's English premier league. If you read my preview you would see that i was looking for a dominant Liverpool performance and sadly it was far from that yesterday.
In a game of few chances a flat and lifeless Liverpool watched the game pass them by in another "Bolton" esq performance. I can not hide my disappointment that our team did not show up at all and fully deserved to lose that game. For once i disagree with Kenny's post match comments stating that we didn't deserve to lose. It was another woe performance in my books and it really showed the lack of depth we have in the squad to be out played by Sunderland with Gerrard, Downing, Agger and Johnson.
Ok, the goal had some element of luck to it and Pepe can't be blamed for it, but i though our defense was ball watching, when i thought that they could of followed the ball in after seeing bounce of the post and then off Pepe. In this game you create your own luck, Sunderland made us play their game as far as tempo goes and dominated the middle of the park giving Suarez Bellamy and Kuyt nothing to feed off.
Everyone should be held accountable for that passionless, tired performance and after what happened at Bolton it really saddens me to see our Liverpool play like that again.
It's lack of depth, and performances like this that is the reason we won't be playing Champions' League football next season. I never thought we were ready for it anyway, and results like this weekends show exactly why.
