I would call it was a garbage display from Liverpool. We will have to look back to the first leg when Reina saves us twice otherwise Liverpool will be dead and buried based on last night performance.
It was real frustrating watching the 90 minutes of the game. Depsite home ground advantage and big name players, the Reds failed to craved out any chances. The opponent goalkeeper must be shocked that he was not as busy as many though he would be.
Liverpool failed to penerate the Belgian defence throughout normal time. Credit must be given to them for putting great resistance. They won the high balls and picked up the loose balls faster than Liverpool.
After 4 matches into the new season, Liverpool still look less convincing as a team. It took Liverpool over 100 minutes to breach Standard Liege's defence, thanks to Dirk Kuyt goal. If Liverpool struggle at home against Boro and Standard Liege, I wonder what would happen to the Reds when Man Utd comes to town.
With Gerrard ruled out due to a groin operation, things do not look good for Liverpool especially vital games against Villa this weekend and Man Utd the following weekend.
