Back in the driving seat

3 reasons why we are winning again.

Firstly, confidence is high after a positive result against Inter Milan. Secondly, the return to form for some of our key players. Kyut is playing better after his 2 goals in 2 successive games. Babel and Torres are on fire. Stevie is beginning to play at his best again. Saw that screamer from him this morning for goal no 4? It was an absolute beauty! Trademark Steven Gerard!! Thirdly, the 4-2-3-1 formation that sees Gerrard, Babel, Kuyt and Torres in a four pronged attack. It's also the formation that allows Rafa to play Mascherano, Alonso and Gerard in the middle at the same time.

One area where we need improvement is in defence. I hope Agger returns for the Newcastle game on Sat and if he does well, we will have our answer for the return leg against Inter Milan. There are already punters predicting an Inter win. The asian handicap is indicating a minimum half ball, with many people I know taking the italian giants to win by a goal. The key will be our defence and if we can hold out the first 30mins, we will probably go through. It will be even better if we can hit them on the counter-attack to score an away goal. That will kill the game off. Inter knows they need to score 3 goals to win and with an away goal, they will need 4. That's a tall order.

Let's just pray now that we win our next 2 home games and that will really put pressure on the Toffees to keep up.
