It was a good team performance. Everyone worked hard for each other. Even though Lucas was not fantastic, it was evident he was working his socks off for the team. Credit to him!
Glen Johnson was the livewire in the team. His relentless runs down the right flank, overlapping with Dirk Kyut, was a constant menace to the Potter's defence. He created a few goals and even scored one on his debut. What a start? (and what was he doing on the far post??). Anyway, I have said that the right back position had been our weak link for the last few years. Arbeloa was terrible in that position. Insua on the opposite flank was also providing amunition into the box consistently. With Reira and Insua down the left, we have 2 overlapping defenders that can join in the attack.
Gerard had a much better showing yesterday. His run into the box and the subsequent cut-back was pure quality. Torres showed a lot of grit and determination as well, scoring the first goal for us. It was great satisfaction to watch them play at their best. When both Torres and Gerard decides to play, we can beat anyone in the BPL.
We are not even at full strength yet. With Agger and Skrtel back in defence, Aquilani in the middle of the park, we will be a much stronger team. The key now is consistency. I have been saying that for years. Let's hope the win this morning will signal the start of our title chasing season. It's been 20 years. The wait must end now!
Next up, Aston Villa in Anfield. C'mon you Reds!!
