Again, Mr I was far away from his prediction (Read here). The only thing he got right was Fulham's goal scorer, Clint Dempsey. I wonder when will he got it correct. After all, he is not witch, isn't he?
As far as I'm concern, Mr I believe that the Reds didn't deserved the result. However, this is football, and sometime you need the Lady Luck by your side. Overall, it was poor performance from the match officials who was dissalowed Suarez's goal due to offside (the reply showed otherwise) and red card for Spearing (who Mr I & commentator believed it was not even a yellow!). And not to mention that Liverpool is currently sit top of the league in terms of hitting the woodwork (12 already).
Let's look at the match stats from ESPN soccernet:
Now, let's take a look at player's rating. A guideline as usual:
10: Brilliant – Superlative performance
9: Superb – Great performance
8: Remarkable – Very influential performance
7: Very good – Dazzling performance
6: Average – Good game
5: Below Average – Decent game; with some faults
4: Poor – Didn’t have any positive impact to the game
Reina: A disappointing night from the Spanish International as he pushed Murphy's shot towards Dempsey's path, and ended the Reds unbeaten run. However, he made a string of saves, mainly from Fulham's long shot in the 1st half. Rating: 6.5
Johnson: As usual, provide an attacking threat when come forward. Was the Reds most accurate passer with 86%. Rating: 7
Skrtel: Was forming good partnership with Agger. Hope both of them are available throughout the rest of the season. Had 1 shot on goal and complete 41/41 passing in his own half with 100% passing accuracy. Rating: 7
Agger: Solid at the back and confident taking the ball out from own area. The only disappointment was our team is not shown threat during set piece. Rating: 7
Enrique: Provided an attacking flair down the left. Confident when defense. Had a 1 shot on goal. Rating: 7
Spearing: He was replacement for Lucas. Didn't do his job really well in the 1st half as he left the spaces for Fulham's long shots. His game was much more improve in the 2nd half. Was Liverpool top tacklers of the game with 3 wons over 3 attempts. Still thinking that the red card was a harsh decision by the referee. Rating: 6
Henderson: Looked lively in this 3 men midfield. Not an outstanding performance from England under 21 skipper, but should been rewarded by the goal. He was the Reds best passer of the game with accuracy up to 95%. Rating: 7.5
Adam: The Scots' game was improving by time. Though we are yet to see the £10 million corner kick from him.He attempts 16 of ground duels. Rating: 7
Bellamy: Start the match as one of the 3 men attack. He had 3 shots which went wide. Had a good game that night. However, the yellow card lowered his rating Rating: 6.5
Carroll: The stats show that this big guy had done his job. Andy Carroll was the Reds player who won most of his ground & aerial duels and he was on par with Suarez in terms of chance created. The only two things he need to do is scoring goal and positioned himself better in opponent's penalty box area. Rating: 7
Suarez: Was hardworking as usual. Suarez had the most shot on goal with 5 attempts but only 1 on target. However, the hand gestures can't be accepted. Rating: 7
