Overall the performance is pretty good. Some of our passing and penetration is almost fantasy level. We've yet to learn that if we don't kill teams off, the teams will kill us off instead. Gerrard is trying too hard I feel. He actually has time on several ocassions to take another touch and calming himself down before shooting. Perhaps without Torres, he feels he need to provide the goals for the team.

I'm worried our players will be burnt out in the latter stages of the season as there is less tinkering this season. Gerrard, Alonso, Kuyt, Keane Carragher, Arbeloa and Reina has played a lot of games this season already. They seemed tired at times.
