3. Same Old Liverpool
A spirited performance from the travelling Aston Villa outfit meant Liverpool could hardly get anything more than a point from a gloomy Anfield in Saturday’s late night kickoff. It could have been worse for the Reds from Merseyside as they found themselves two goals down within the first half an hour of the encounter. Andres Weimann’s tap in was closely followed by Christain Benteke’s header before Sturridge scored in extra time to reduce the deficit. The home side were however level following what looked like a blatant Luis Suarez dive, which Steven Gerrard easily finished off. Liverpool’s Champions League aspirations have taken the turn for the worse as they now are level on points with Tottenham and fierce rivals Everton closing in. With now Lucas Leiva’s injury, Liverpool’s midfield look wafer thin with some tough games lined up.
