Sunderland 0 – Liverpool 2

Sunderland goalkeeper Craig Gordon had a good game could do nothing more to let in two goals as Liverpool overpowered Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

There are a lot of positives to take from this game. Notably the squad coped with the game in the absence of Steven Gerrard, and even after losing both center halves to injury.

Hyypia broke his nose and had to go off as early as the 15th minute. Agger didn’t get the rest he was supposed to get. Carragher had some trouble with his ribs and had to go off in the 75th minute. Arbeloa filled in well in his place.

Momo Sissoko score his goal in his Liverpool career.. and what a goal it was! You wouldn’t bet on him scoring a goal, what more a goal like that!

He had a good game overall. I think he improved drastically from last season in terms of positioning, passing, as well as avoided giving silly fouls and getting booked. Let’s hope he continues his development and fulfills to his potential.

Voronin scored the second goal late in the game. It was a finely worked move from the rest of the team and he finished well after doing well to make space for the shot. He played well despite making a lot of mistakes in promising situations. Afterall it is his first full Premier League game. I am impressed with him overall as a good squad player.

Is it me or does he look like Triple H ?

Babel wasn’t particularly effective on the left wing. Being right footed, he tends to cut infield a lot and run into a lot of trouble. Again, let’s hope he improves as well and settle be the star everyone is tipping him to be.

Torres played well too. Alongside Voronin, they didn’t give the Sunderland defenders one moment of rest and I won’t be surprised if any of the defenders have nightmares of them tonight.

The Liverpool duo worked hard to hassle and force mistakes from the Sunderland defence. Torres has a few good chances to score but it just wasn’t his day.

I shall leave you with this video as a tribute to the good job Roy Keane is doing at Sunderland. I present to you .. Roy Keane .. & Roy Keane..
