MOTD: Liverpool 2-1 West Bromwich Albion
Brendan Rodgers certainly knows his own team. Midweek, he said that they are not at all the same second place finishing team that they were last season, and today they hardly looked it. Often times they found it hard to keep possession, even when focusing keeping their lead, a stark contrast to the slick passing game they played last seasons. But at least for now as Daniel Sturridge and Coutinho return from injury, they aren’t. Their new signing Adam Lallana showed for the first time his brilliance – something that will be needed to create another title challenging team.
To give Liverpool the lead right on the brink of half, he made a jinxing run by three before exchanging a neat one-two with Jordan Henderson on the edge of West Brom’s penalty area and dispatching a low effort across the goal into the bottom corner. It was unfortunate, and while West Brom equalized on the other side of the half after Saido Berahino converted a penalty, Henderson tucked a Raheem Sterling cut-back home an hour in. It wasn’t the type of performance Rodgers would like to see of his side regularly, but the result he would.
