2-1 over Bournemouth away with the amount of changes we had is a great result IMO. Few good signs as well with Studge starting to look back to his best. Should've bagged a hat trick, as 2 hit the woodwork. Basically set up the first goal with a cracking back heel.
We looked comfortable up until the 93min when Bournemouth scored.
Sturridge, Ojo and Allen were outstanding. I agree with you about Sturridge as some of his chances he created from nothing. Had he been able to bag at least one of those chances he would have killed the game off early. Maybe we should call him "The Carpenter" after all the wood work he kept hitting last night ;-)
Ojo though looked very good on the ball. In the first half in particular, Bournemouth looked like they had no idea how to stop him. He just looked too big and too strong whenever he had the ball. Thing which really impressed though was he rarely over played his hand (unlike a certain former Liverpool now City player), and seemed to no more often than not when to slow things down or speed things up.
Joe Allen though, cripes has he ever had a better game in a Liverpool shirt? He cops plenty of stick, and much of it deserved, but he was everywhere last night either making silky passes, or nicking the ball off Bournemeouth. Had a great all round game.
Honourable mention to Danny Ward too. Looked very comfortable between the sticks.
