All three goals by lfc were defensive errors . Martinez had better sharpen up the defence or his reign at Goodison may be short lived. What's the point of scoring 3 goals if you give away 3 at the other end?

We've been sloppy all season so nothing new but I was pleased with our display. Alcaraz is fit now according to the grapevine so we might see a different line up soon or even a back 3. I don't think their goals were the fault of our defenders this time round though. Their first goal saw Barkley totally ignore the break away from Coutinho who was left free to run from one side of the box to the other and Lukaku should have seen it too but appeared oblivious. We can blame Baines also for not winning the battle with Suarez, but Suarez is the best player on the park in my book and a nightmare. We can also question why McCarthy was stood inside the net instead of marking the line like he was supposed to.
The 2nd goal was a poor wall and you have to ask how Suarez was able to bend it round with so much ease. Pienaar was a yard to the left of the main wall and the ball went between him and Barry after Lucas had given us a nudge.
3rd goal sees Sturridge inside Barry Barkley and McCarthy with Lukaku idling on the edge of the box marking nobody so although I agree that we were defensively sloppy, it wasn't our defenders at fault for the goals, but our naivety from our midfielders and striker while trying to defend. Credit to Liverpool too as on each goal despite our sloppiness there was quality from them.

Indeed Jimmy. It was a big occasion, and a new one for many, so mistakes will be made, but the Suarez free kick was still sublime despite the wall.

It's the same 4 players in defence so they should know how to defend but Jimmy has it right with this weeks errors in that it was poor defending, but from our midfielders. Saying that, Coleman and Baines have been poor this season, so I'd like to see some changes at Fullback for a few weeks on both sides.
