The new "Robbie"

First it was Robbie Fowler. Now, it's Robbie Keane.

I feel vindicated. I said a month or two ago that Keane needed time to settle and he was probably feeling the weight of the club on his shoulders. Whether that's self-imposed or not, I don't know but it's certainly a fact that any player moving into a new club will need time to find his feet before start playing to his true potential. In this case, there was no doubt about Keane's potential. We all knew what a great striker he was at Spurs. With better players around him, it was only a matter of time before he starts banging in the goals.

Many critics were voicing their frustrations over his lack of goals and, more importantly, his movement. In the game against West Brom, he's starting to look like the player he was at Spurs. Finally 2 goals for Liverpool in the league. He is looking more mobile and threatening. His touch is a lot better. Given time, I am sure the Kyut, Torres, Keane and Gerard attacking front line will reap many rewards.

Back at the top of the table. Let's stay there and not lose the lead again. 3 points, every game. That's the target.
