Liverpool will have their skipper to thank for as they sealed their passage to the last 16.
After the disappointing home draw against Fulham, Liverpool was expected to win this match with style. However it was not a performance that made any Reds proud.
Marseille could have snatched a draw if Lady Luck had smiled on them last night. Liverpool was lucky that Gerrard header was enough to give Liverpool the victory.
In this match, only Torres and Gerrard impressed. The defence looked nervy, the midfielder could not win the battle in the middle of the park and poor Torres was isolated alone.
Mascherano had his worst game in Liverpool shirt. His form has dipped eversince appointed the captain of Argentina.
Maybe Rafa could well to rest him for some matches. I hope Rafa will start Babel and Benayoun in the match against West Ham.
Liverpool need some creativity in midfield.
Indeed, the result was good but the performance was ugly.
