They came for a draw and were time wasting from the off. Their one game plan was to boot it up their right in the hope that they could bully Shaw and Lallana.
If Ramirez is out it will obviously be a blow but I think Steven Davis could do a job in Gaston's place for one game. He's looked much better coming on and playing further forward in front of Cork and Morgan IMO. Think those 3 would be tenacious enough to win the midfield battle.
