Another famous victory

I never doubted a minute that we would come away from San Siro victorious. I said many times yesterday that we would win by 2 goals. Ok....so I was not totally correct but it was a victory nevertheless.

It was one of the most beautifully taken strikes I have seen from Torres. The Gerard-Torres combination is proving to be extremely lethal. However, I must add that a few other players are beginning to show their true quality too.

Fabio Aurelio, the player I criticised heavily in the past, is staking a claim on the left back position. That has always been our weak link but I am glad he is doing a much better job than Riise. It was his burst down the left after stealing possession from Inter that led to the goal. Obviously, Torres' finishing was in a league of it's own too! Luca Leiva is proving to be a capable replacement for Xabi Alonso. Ryan Babel had been excellent in the last 5 games. Martin Skrtel will give Daniel Agger a run for his money if he keeps playing like that. Gerard is having the time of his life. He is given the license to roam freely, causing a bigger threat to the oppositions. Although I would prefer Benayoun as a right winger compared to Kyut, I must admit that Kyut does provide a different option altogther.

Finally, we are seeing some resemblance of a first XI. Rafa has kept the same shape over the last 5 games and only changing players when they are unavail or injured. That can only be good news for the team.

Now, let's hope the team goes all the way from now.
