Reebok conquered, next up Craven Cottage
It was a good game against Bolton last Saturday. Except for the first 15mins of the second half, I felt it was a comfortable win. Order was restored when the first team was put up against Bolton. The weekday League Cup game against Spurs was complete rubbish. The team's performance and, in particular Torres, prompted an outburst from the manager. I suspected the comments Benitez made about Torres made him play a lot better against Bolton. He came on in the second half and created that beautiful cross for Stevie to score the second goal. It was a perfectly timed cross that made the header looked easy. 2 goals up. I knew we would go on to seal the 3 points. The fact that Chelsea matched our result later that evening means that this season's title race will be extremely tight. With Man U playing a lot better, I expect a 3 horse race for the title. Arsenal will be close but I don't think they have the tenacity and desire for the League title this season. Their focus may well be in the Champions League. We need 3 points in every game. I just hope Stevie, Keane and Torres will all recover in time from their injuries to play against Fulham this Saturday. It's good that they are all dropped from the mid week international friendly due to injuries and that will allow them sufficient time to recover for Saturday's game. That should be the priority over everything else now. We don't need our key players to be distracted. I don't believe in "country before club" as far as Liverpool's title chances are concerned this season.
