Roy plan finally starting to take hold... Glen Johnson has been out for a while now, Agger hasn't really returned to his old consistent self since his concussion three months ago, Torres just rounding back into form, Kuyt... threatening to surpass Dalglish and Macca as my favorite Red ever... coming back early from injury and assisting on Torres' goal... all these players have been out for long stretches. Seems like Roy was trying to weather the storm and not lose too much ground early by playing conservatively. The problem with that was that given our defensive struggles early that didn't leave much margin for victory.
Defensively, I still prefer to see Agger in there with Carragher, Johnson and Skrtel, but Konchesky has been a great signing, Carra enjoying a mini revival... and Skrtel has been his usual rock solid self. Kelly filled in nicely today and we got great games out of Lucas and Meireles... even Maxi put in a mini-shift, even though he squandered a nice late chance off the pass from Ngog. I'm willing to say that we've rounded the corner with out play... and to an extent, we've only just started hitting our stride.
