Can someone please explain Roy Hodgson's obsession with the 4-5-1!? Fernando Torres is a number 9, meaning he's got to play off someone. Why not field the 4-4-2 with either Ngog or Kuyt up front? Hell, throw Babel's ass in there. SOMEONE, s**t.

that was a real entertaining game to watch. Started off very dramatic. I think that it was the right call, true from the defenders reaction to the play i don't think he ment it, but he legitlly put the ball in play. but great display of effort by both teams in the last couple minutes to try to get taht last goal and to hold each other off. Good game

Lost a lot of respect for Liverpool today. Will be rooting against them from now on I believe.

First goal was lol. Agger could've won it for liverpool.

Stevie G was lucky not to get a red, I'll admit that. it was obvious!
and as far as the "pass back".. i dont know hahaha

Anyway overall interesting match, first goal... o.O

Is it just me, or is it somewhat weird to see Liverpool in 16th position? It's even hard to believe now that Liverpool came 7th last season, they way they are now...

Fall from grace.. Sigh.

To be honest i thought Turner was careless. There have been such situations before, but usually the defender throws the ball back to the keeper instead of kicking it back so as to prevent what has happened here. I acknowledge that Liverpool lacked sportsmanship but Turner could have easily avoided such a situation.

Get the team out of the YANKS first!!! then they might play better!

good match

Torres, go on! Doesnt give up!

Liverpool (without the ref on their team) 1 - 3 Sunderland. Disgraceful, ref should be sacked, thats how bad it was.

wow i dont think glen johnson is a good right back.. he is good going forward, but defending and marking is always poor. i think sunderland deserved to win this. but im not sure about the funny goal, if turner really meant to give the ball to the keeper, why didnt he throw it instead? but nevertheless it would still be a debate. bent is awesome! he is the indispensable for sunderland

Brutal Elbow by Gerrard Made almost no attempt to play the ball as for the weird goal the sunderland player did fully stop it for a few seconds before rolling it back I think that was good call by the ref.
