    When you make a goal like Anthony you cannot wish for more I think. A lot of players have made a debut and scored with me so it’s a good signal.

  3. 'Too easy to hit Benteke'published at 19:45 British Summer Time 12 September 2015

    Man Utd 3-1 Liverpool

    Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers, speaking to Sky Sports: "I thought in the first half we defended well but had nowhere near enough quality and composure on the ball. 

    "We were disappointed with a couple of the goals. I never thought the free kick was a free-kick. Penalty, I think Herrera has done well, young Joe Gomez will learn he has to stay on his feet.

    "We got back into the game with a brilliant goal but then we concede a disappointed third and that kills is.

    "We need to be a lot technically better than we showed today. Over the first five games now creating goals is something we need to look at. It is too easy sometimes for us to go direct to Christian Benteke, who was excellent today.

    "I have a group who will respond but we have to be technically better."

    Abhishek:  With Skrtel and Lovren, of course Martial will look like Henry. But can he do it on a cold wet Wednesday night in Stoke?

    Albert Poon: That was awful, Liverpool.

    LFC Way:  Not much improvement from Liverpool. Gone backwards. Will be lucky to finish in top six this season. Shambles at the back.

    Brendan Rodgers is out to face the cameras. He doesn't think that the free-kick leading to Daley Blind's goal was a foul. And the penalty was soft. 

    Full reaction to come.

    We practised it a lot and it went in so. Sometimes they go in, sometimes not, sometimes you need to take a touch. I’m very happy for Anthony. Of course he’s a new guy, the team is very up for him to do well. What a goal.”

    Michael Maw: Federico Macheda. Calm down everyone. 

    Algert Dobra: Let's not get carried away, it's just one goal. Remember, Nicklas Bendtner also scored on his debut.

    Nick Hughes: Liverpool are tactical mess. How Rodgers hasn't sorted this team is ridiculous, with talented players like Firmino out of position.
