Former Liverpool midfielder Jason McAteer has said that he was expecting the Reds to be a lot more adventurous against Newcastle United last night.
Goals from Raheem Sterling and Joe Allen helped the Reds register a comfortable 2-0 win over John Carver’s men at Anfield. The win helped Brendan Rodgers’ men to close the gap on fourth placed Manchester City to just four points.
After two back-to-back defeats in the league, the victory over Newcastle brought Liverpool back into the race for a top four finish.
However, McAteer was not overly enthused by Liverpool’s performance last night. He said that the performance was a little underwhelming and feels that the Reds should have been more adventurous against a Newcastle side who were short of confidence after a dreadful run of form.
“It was a bit of an anti-climax to be fare”, McAteer told LFC TV.
