I'm not gonna lie.. We've had some mixed results. We met Sunderland right after winning against Chelsea at our home ground. We won this 1-0. I really thought we were starting a winning streak here. Yann M'Vila was sent of after only 17 minutes played against Sunderland which made it a lot easier for us. Joe Allen scored the single and winning goal. We did not create that much.
A couple of days later we welcomed Rapid Wien at Anfield. They might be the weakest team in our group and therefore three points was demanded from me and the fans. We created a lot more this match but we only got a 1-0 victory again. This time with Lallana as our goalscorer.
Next up was West Brom on Anfield. Should be a win - but it was a defeat. It was quite equal all over the field. We had most possession but didn't do much with it. Therefore we lost despite Benteke scoring two fine goals! Quite a downer for me at this point.
With a loss in our minds we should make amends against Middlesbrough again on Anfield. Should be an easy win. Despite Capital One Cup being a tournament I wasn't expecting to play with the best eleven that was actually what I was about to do right now. I needed my time to get back on track.
We created a lot of chances and after only 22 minutes Benteke was right where he should be and scored! But Middlesbrough equalized after 69 minutes. After 90 minutes it was a draw and we went unto extra time. It was some long minutes but at the end - more specific at 118 minute Benteke scored again and got us a win!
Next match gave us a draw against Norwich, a victory against Bordeaux - giving me the first place in my group. Another draw in the league, this time against Watford. I was seriously disappointed with our league performances at this time! Bournemouth was the next opponent and this time we finally got another win. But with a defeat in the following match against Villarreal in the Euro Cup I was disappointed.
Crystal Palace at home should show itself being the turning point for now. We won 3-1 with Daniel Sturridge back from his injury and with two fine goals! Leicester was next. We started out fantastic! We were 3-0 up after only 30 minutes. Our pace dropped and Leicester pushed us back. The final score was 3-2 in our favor.
Next match we were up against Manchester United at Old Trafford. A really though opponent.
Firmino gave us a draw making it great week for us.
With all this happened it has been some fine two months.
