To be honest it was exactly what I expected.
Yes we have, player for player, a better squad but we are still getting used to playing together.
I have said this before but I don't think the International breaks have helped.
I really thought before the game we should have gone 4-5-1 and sucked them in and hit them on the break as their back four lack real pace and can be turned.
I have always believed that you have to shut the crowd up at Anfield and then get into them.
I think we are more cautious at the moment because we lack real confidence due to individual errors in defending (as a team).
We got better as the game went on because we got our rythmn. I personally believe we will now kick on.
We will lose and draw along the way because that's football, but generally the consistency will come.
