We finally did it....we broke Chelsea's unbeaten home record!! 86 home games without a loss...until today that is. It was Alonso's shot deflected off John Terry that gave us the win. We are now officially sitting top of the league, 3 points clear of Chelsea, 8 points clear of Man United!!! This win is significant for a few reasons. Firstly, it was away at Stamford Bridge. Secondly we won without Torres. Thirdly, we have not even hit our peak form yet. Wins against Man United and Chelsesa will surely put the confidence of the players sky high. Even the most skeptical doubter will start to believe. Will this finally be our year?? Will number 19th league title finally come home after all these years of waiting? Maybe......Rafa need to keep the players on their toes and work hard. There is no room for complacency. It's still early days but all these wins will mean nothing if we do not keep our level of consistency. Wins against Man United and Chelsea will be nullified if we do not at least get a point at the return legs. We need to keep going till the final game of the season. Traditionally, our form dips after the new year. Let's hope we buck this trend from now and keep going.
The players did very well. Everyone of them. From Reina to Keane, from Reira to Kyut, from Carragher to Gerard. It was a fantastic performance. Alonso and Mascherano were all over the pitch. It could easily have been 2 goals to nothing if Alonso's free kick did not hit the upright. Ashley Cole was lucky to remain on the pitch. He could have been sent off after that reckless tackle.
It's been a great season so far and it's gonna get even better..........
