“Tonight we were very, very good again. The learning for us is to make the next step – you saw a lot of young players out there working, and now we’ve got to make the next step and try to go on and win a trophy.”

Do you think Liverpool deserved more last night, and is a lack of a natural finisher crippling Liverpool’s chances of winning a trophy this year? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

What was rodgers thinking when he brought in ballo? Br cost us this match with his naive substitutions. Ballo will always be a minus to us. He made the mistake that led to the free kick that became a goal of which he failed to mark ivanovic. Br is deluded by bringing in a moron like ballo.
