5-1 flattered us? probably as we were a bit lucky as well
Honestly, i have seen us played better and lost or as cheesecake said, win by odd goal. Football is indeed crazy... perhaps GOD (both Kop god fowler and the real god, whatever your religion is) has answered our prayers.
Of all stats, i usually find possession most useless as i have seen many matches that the losing side overwhelms in possession.
For Fulham, i ahve always find them to be very dangerous up front, with Radzinski, John, Malbranque and Boa Morte very fast and pacey. Rafa knows that and thats why he started Agger instead of Hyypia. Overall the defence coped well. Also, he played Traore in LB, which he's more conformtable and show some nice touch.
Midfield, honestly, i think Gerrard has not been playing very well in recent games, at least not up to his usual high standards. Do we miss alonso and Sissoko? Yes, i think we missed Alonso's passing range. As for Sissoko, i think Hamann is a good direct sub as he defends very well and protects the back 4.
Attack, Fowler is class. I have always insisted that he's the best striker that liverpool has produced and i still stand by it. Forget about Rush, Beardsley and Owen. Fowler has both the striker's instinct and technical skills. The way he scored the 1st goal, i believe only 2-3 other strikers in EPL will be able to react and score. Shearer prob could. However, it's not just about scoring but how he brings otehrs into play. like how he created a very good chance for mori to shoot. I think Fowler can play till mid-thirties if he continues to play smart like Teddy...
