These are challenging times for Brendan Rodgers, whose Customized Redskins Jerseys Liverpool side have zyhaa929 endured the ignominy of making the club's worst start to a league campaign in 101 years, but a committed and impressive performance from what was effectively a reserve XI provided the Northern Irishman with a much needed first domestic victory since taking over at Anfield.On a night when Jerome Sinclair came off the bench to become Liverpool's youngest ever player at the age of 16 years and six days – he is so new to the scene that the club got his christian name wrong on the team-sheet and put him down as Jordan.
Nuri Sahin endeared himself to the travelling supporters New Washington Redskins Jerseys online with two goals to help the holders vanquish West Brom and secure a place in the last 16, where Rodgers will come up against Swansea City, his former club.Sahin, on loan from Real Madrid, could have a valuable role to play at Liverpool this season, although it was the sparkling form of Oussama Assaidi that did most to catch the eye. Assaidi, signed from Heerenveen in the summer, was a joy to watch on the left flank as his dextrous footwork and sinuous runs tormented Albion time and again.
There was also an end product to his play, which was Ryan Kerrigan Jerseys evident long before the Moroccan provided the centre that Sahin turned home in the 82nd minute.It was a result that Rodgers was entitled to cherish, even if moving up the Premier League remains the priority. His side showed character and composure to play themselves back into the game after suffering the blow of conceding a dreadful goal inside the first three minutes, when Gabriel Tamas volleyed home after Brad Jones allowed Liam Ridgewell's floated free-kick to slip from his grasp.
On a bad evening for goalkeepers Ben Foster was Nike Redskins Jerseys guilty of a blunder every bit as bad at the other end, and from the moment that Sahin's 30-yard shot slipped beyond the Albion No1 in the 17th minute, the complexion of the game changed and a youthful Liverpool side grew in confidence."It's always exciting when you see young players, guys that have got great technique, but what is important as well is that they understand how to fight," Rodgers said. "It was a wonderful performance against an experienced team.
For us to dominate the game like we did and to get the Reebok Redskins Jerseys goals, especially the second goal, which typified what we are about, was very pleasing."I think it was a symbolic night as well because it shows how far we're moving as a group from our first day of the season here, when we were a wee bit disjointed and players were not quite understanding my methods, to the last three or four weeks, where our tempo, our rhythm and our relentless possession has started to come through. It was good to see that."
