Liverpool
performance last night at the capital one cup was outstanding with sterling at
the peak of the demolition the reds seem to control most of the game with
ruthless blend of finishing and determination.
Take Steven Gerrard, for example; His presence was massive, he was full of
purpose in his running and looked something like his old self again alongside
Lucas Leiva and Jordan Henderson majorly dominating the middle of the park. There
were a staggering 51 passes in the build up to Sterling’s opener, a head-turning move that left Bournemouth’s defence utterly
bewildered.
Such was the speed that it was hard to keep up, but eventually Lazar Markovic
swung a cross in from the left for Jordan Henderson to head back across Artur
Boruc’s goal. This time Sterling, who was denied three times by Manchester
United keeper David de Gea in Sunday’s defeat applied the finishing touch with a deft header. That was a team move, the
gameplay that Rodgers has been trying to promote at Anfield during a wretched
run that has already brought them seven league defeats. Reaching a semi-final
of the Capital One Cup, particularly after last Tuesday’s exit from the Champions
League, feels like progress. Remarkably, a season of transition could still end
with a trophy.
