it was a frustrating day at Anfield as Liverpool's defense again fell short. the highlights of the match were simple: Suarez missed from the spot. Suarez scored through a free kick header. Sunderland equalizes through a beautiful goal by Larson. The match ended a draw 1-1.
Arsenal at the other hand were held to a 0-0 draw by Newcastle, the highlight being a red card for Gervinho.
MATTERS ARISING:
LIVERPOOL 1 SUNDERLAND 1:
i was first and foremost surprised to find Flanagan starting ahead of kelly, in the Liverpool right back position. Flanagan is a rising talent, yes, but kelly is more physical and present especially against such a physical side like Sunderland. I blame the coach's decision for a useless 1-1 draw. These are the games that have to be won if Liverpool need a top four finish.
Secondly, i ask myself why Suarez had to take a penalty, when all through the pre-season, Adam took it. liverpool has to step up their game if they are to make an impact.
NEWCASTLE 0-ARSENAL 0
Arsene Wenger has to think about his midfield depth, now that Samir and Fabregas are pushing out. i think Gervinho was unfortunate in today's game.
