This is novel, playing Henderson and Gerrard in their best positions.

Amazing.

It's weird, isn't it.

What a goal that would have been

Would have been goal of the season, extraordinary technique...

Wow. Has the real Lazar Markovic arrived?

Match fit after cutting his PL teeth on the left .... Unleashed on the right by The Rodgers

Card happy ref here

so unlucky... would have been a contender for goal of the season.

Jordans less so...

great to see Lazer playing with some confidence.

Moronic from Coutinho

Ref is card happy.

Just trying to slow their attack down so that we don't concede before halftime in his mind I guess.

Has to be careful now

What a shot from Hendo!

Ping!!! what a ball

Indeed, hendo doing good today, he directing the defence where to pass the ball when they playing it out, showing leadership.

As a CM in this system with the wing backs & attackers he won't be getting MOM awards but will do his job effeciently.

Liverpool might regret not being at least 2 up by now. Surely Sunderland will get a chance eventually and will probably take it.

Henderson is shocking. Get him off.

Really don't like those posts. Subbing a player after 30 mins because of a bad shot. Stupid.

This is the most in control we've been in a match all season nearly.

Nailed on to concede before half time then.

livinginkorea

Ah the shot was too soft

Will I Amnt

Is Vergini always this bad? I'd be targeting him every time, looks absolutely terrible. No composure, no awareness... nothing.

Gonna regret not scoring some more

whatawaster

This defeat will be particularly hard to stomach

Paully D

This is ****ing pathetic.

Cattermole is such a massive loss but we look completely hopeless. Giaccherini and van Aanholt are getting done every single time down our left hand side, Wickham is so isolated and we can't keep the ball for more than 3 passes unless we're going backwards.

larrymiller

I bet studge would thrive in this game. Lots of balls in positions that he'd love

whatawaster

Borini playing well

No offence to yourself Trilla at all, but when a Man U fan tells a Liverpool fan to calm down about Jordan Henderson, that says it all.

Henderson is quality and a deserved future captain.

Utopia Parkway

Liverpool need a 2nd while they are so on top because they will eventually gift Sunderland a gilt edged goal chance.

Augmerson

Liverpool in total control, really should get a 2nd before half time.

Final result if not will be 1-1.

SM01

great to see them pressing high and controlling the game. Hopefully won't rue missing quite a few chances. Also the criticism of Henderson is unwarranted, he's playing well so far.

marklazarcovic

shocking miss

Monkey, I'm a football fan... I love Manchester United, but I love football more. No offense taken.

Henderson hasn't been amazing this season, he's been very good though in most of the games a I saw.

klose

Did someone tip over a wheelie bin or something?

livinginkorea

Really hoped we would have a second one before half-time

You jinxed him.

Bad miss after rounding the keeper well.

kingshankly

Hilarious from borini angle wasn't that tight

Great feet but sitter

I have to ask, why are Sunderland playing like this? Do they have scouts? Do they think this is last season?

This truly is pathetic from Sunderland. Just go at that Liverpool defence. Get the crowd going. What actually are they doing?

Rayne Wooney

Should be 3 or 4 up by now

Osmosis Jones

This is a massive downfall of ours currently, wasting great opportunities. 7 or 8 attempts this half, many of them great chances, and only one goal.

They caused us problems at Anfield and were probably the better team.

Need to be more clinical.

Good performance 1st half though

Johner

How is this 1-0.

Eh so wasteful should be 3 or 4 up. Hope we don't regret it otherwise an excellent first half.

Turtyturd

Should be 10 up...poor first half.

JohnDaniels

Take a bow Lazar Markovic, wow.

niallo27

Sunderland are so slow on the ball. I have never seen a team get dispossessed so much as Sunderland. Game should be over which worries me.

donfers

Borini isn't playing well unless you think running around a lot constitutes a good performance - can't hold the ball up, dispossessed regularly, can't pick a through ball....can't believe we were offered 14 million for him

Markovic and Coutinho good

but same old story of failing to take some good opportunities and a pretty blatant penalty turned down mean there is still work to be done here to secure 3 points

whatawaster

Someone cancel Sterling's return flight

very unsurprising to see Liverpool benefit from an enthusiastic mobile striker with an in-form Coutinho feeding him. Perhaps would be better had he not to prove himself to the manager every time he plays and didn't have to burn off excess energy by fouling.

klose

Probably should be a couple of goals to the good, hopefully won't rue those missed chances but wouldn't be too confident of that. Good first half all the same, new signings settling in nicely.

larrymiller

That goal, of the keepers balls and in
