If Rodgers considers that to be a spectacular performance from his side, we will finish above them.
Overall, it's an unfamiliar sensation not to be seething right now. At 0-2 I'd have bitten your hand off if offered a point. Having said that, we were much better than them for most of the game after they scored. Suarez should have gone for his deliberate scrape of the studs down Distin's Achilles. Stirling could have gone too; it would have been a bit harsh but not totally surprising. Still, we got away with one at the end so as Nelson would say 'Ha ha.' Mirallas was great (card waving aside) and most of the team played well. Gueye might have great technique but he is miles too slow for the prem and that isn't going to change. I'm prepared to accept being wrong about this, you don't get the full picture from the tv, but I thought Jelavic was poor throughout.
I don't even think it would have been harsh. It was a second yellow.
On a sidenote I was delighted to see Howard charge towards the ref to make that point. We need more people like that.
Mirallas was fantastic for that too. That lad is a winner.
At 0-2 with again awful defending - Duffy needs to replace Distan to add Height - I would have settled for 2-2 - then when Mirallas ran them ragged till injured I thought we could have won it - when He never appered
I heard always the vctim and murderers, neither of which have anything to do with Hillsborough.

Mental game, that. Happy with a draw considering that we went 2-0 down.

Would appreciate it if some fellow blues could give it a read, and maybe share and comment.
