Couldn't agree more really.
I think we could have defended better and I think once again Brendan Rodgers has got to learn from this.
Balassie was to me they key difference maker in this game and the player whose pace put us on the back foot and was partly responsible for the team sitting so deep towards the end.
Easy to be wise in hindsight but in fairness I think Rodgers is kicking himself for not sticking agger on over Moses. I bet you if we won the game 3-1 people would criticize us for not going for more goals.
Crystal palace came close on a couple of occasions earlier in this game but not one article I have read today talked about those fantastic saves that mignolet made to keep it at 1-0. Puncheon had a great low shot saved and jedinak who I think would be an upgrade on Lucas by the w -d had another one he caught sweetly tipped over expertly by mignolet.
I would argue mignolet has been up there with the best keepers in the league this season.
I hope only small improvements will be made this summer to the playing staff (in numbers). A defensive mid or two would be helpful. A left back to back up Enrique or to make him raise his game to be more consistent would be preferable. Kelly can go on loan and wisdom can come back to provide cover defensively. Agger would likely see offers and potentially leave which I would not let happen unless there is a readymade better alternative available to come in imminently.
Flanagan has had a great season but he has his limitations. I hope we sign someone good enough to make him a squad player. Luke Shaw would be ideal - but not likely considering other suiters.
Yann m'vila, Ashley Cole, and henrikh mikitarian would be terrific.
YNWA,
