Disagree about Kelly. He was dire in the first 20 mins or so but he settled nicely and was pretty good after that. Gerrard was our worst player by some distance.
My stream (conveniently) cut out just after 2-0 so I did miss a chunk of the game and probably his better moments.
For the first 30 minutes he and Gerrard were trying to outdo each other with misplaced passes.
Kelly is consistently kwality, no doubt. Especially in the "big" games, which is really encouraging. Could see him moving back to CB for the next few games if BR doesn't fancy Coates/ Carragher.

You better win your opening matches! My fantasy football team is banking on 'dat 2 Chelsea games in a gameweek swag. Hopefully Sturridge and Mata still start or I've dun goofed my team up already.
Yeah he was probably our best defender in that 2nd half. Hopefully Enrique is fit for the City game. a backline of Johnson, Kelly, Skrtel, Enrique is better than Kelly, Skrtel, Coates/Carra, Johnson.
Carra is just way too slow, Coates is too green. Can see either of them getting ruined by Kun/Tevez/Balo etc
Lukaku looked 100x better than last season. Seems quicker and has improved his touch/dribbling.

Lucas is one of our key players, some fans are fucking retarded.
Kelly was pretty poor. Was getting caught out most of the match and his passing was off. I don't blame him though, he's young. Our defence looked rather disjointed last night. I agree that gerrard was the worst. Downing hasnt changed since last season. Borini looked nervous as fuck. Lucas needs time to get back into it. Johnson gave the ball away too many times. Skrtl was clumsy. Suarez needs shooting/scoring practice. Agger was okay to be honest.
Allen and Reina were by far the best performers.
I don't understand how Rodgers played Cole. Did he not know that Cole was not fit enough to be in the squad?
In saying all that, I have faith in Rodgers. Just needs time.
one thing with pool is i dont think they can play lucas and allen in the same team. allen was doing a lot, and was everywhere, lucas wasn't really doing anything, just guarding space a lot. probably has to do with him being rusty, but liverpool lack a creative midfield, and while they were relying on gerrard to be that guy, he had an absolute stinker.
also suarez can never be considered a top, top player if he continues to miss top chances. best dribbler in the league though
