Yet again tonight we were crying out for a striker of Daniel Sturridge’s quality. If you look back at the tie with Chelsea as a whole, including the first leg at Anfield, we had many more chances than our opponents and yet only managed to find the net once. Raheem Sterling is doing a decent job playing through the middle, but is clearly out of position, while the threat he carries with his pace was somewhat neutralised tonight by the inclusion of Kurt Zouma in the Blues’ back four.
