Mario Balotelli actions and Steven Gerrard's remarks have overshadowed the fantastic performances of two other Liverpool players. Those two being Simon Mignolet and Jordan Ibe.
After the start of the season Mignolet had I'm sure he is happy to be as far away from the front pages as possible. Since his return to the first team he looks a new player.
While Simon has been aided by the change in formation as well a consistent and established back three, some of the stops he has made recently have been world class. Watching Ba burst through Skrtel and Sahko last night gave me flashbacks of April, but Mignolet came up huge again.
The combination of a consistent back three with the growing confidence of Mignolet is going to be vital in Liverpool's quest for both a trophy and a Champions League spot.
The decision to bring back Jordan Ibe from his loan is looking like a masterstroke. Jordan has astonishing pace, power and intelligence for a 19-year- old. His composure in the box is what led to the game-winning penalty.
Having Ibe available to play the right wing-back position will allow Markovic to play in his preferred role in the front three while providing Rodgers with the option to rotate key players like Coutinho, Sterling and Lallana.
Liverpool are currently running on all cylinders. With Raheem Sterling returning to match fitness and Liverpool set to welcome back Lucas in a couple weeks the sky is the limit for the Reds.
