I hate Middlesbrough. The football club isn’t that much better either. It’s now 5 years since Liverpool won there – and 4 years since we scored. Boro always turn it on against the big teams, including us. And if this performance was anything to go by, we’ll struggle to make the ‘Big 4′!

There’s a long way to go, but you expect to win these games, and if nothing else play better than we did.

The highlight was Torres’ stunning piledriver – he is a genuine class act.
