Fucks sake people, we won comfortablly and went back top (albeit only for a few hours) and this thread has only four pages? I was expecting this thread to buzzing with excitement. We're right in the thick of this title chase and this win gives us another three points to add even more pressure.
We're in great league form, five wins from our last five games conceeding just one and scoring sixteen from nine different goalscorers. We've proven we're good enough, we're finally showing consistantcy and our players are being let to express themselves. On this current run of five wins, we could easily of banged in over twenty goals if the goals at Cravern Cottage had been slightly bigger.
We've got players like Xabi, Aurelio, Dossena, Masch and even Ngog showing signs of their absoloute best. We're not as heavily reliant on Stevie and Nando as were earlier in the season, although we still look to them most but that's only expected. You expect your best players to be the biggest performers, that's common sense. But even when they're having off days, like Nando did at Fulham, we've now got other players capable of putting the ball in the back of the net.
Our defence is just brilliant. Carra as good as ever, Skrtel just doesn't give anything away, Arbeloa improving with every single game in my opinion, Aurelio playing way above his standard, Insua showing no signs of nerves and even Danny Agger coming into the side and popping up with a goal.
Everything is falling into place at long last for Liverpool. We're going for the kill of late and it's showing in our form. This run of five straight league wins is our best run all season, equal with games 6-10. We've had interuptions like Champions League fixtures and an international break but it hasn't turned our focus away from the league, we're going for this title tooth and nail. We fear nobody and don't fear going to any ground in the land.
The players are showing that belief as well, not only in their own game but in their team mates games. Earlier in the season Arbeloa would be a little more nervous about going forward knowing the likely hood of Kuyt losing possesion, but now that's gone and he's just bombing forward at will. The entire club is buzzing and keeping our hopes of number 19 alive.
We look ready for this title, we look ready to jump on any mistake made by our opponents and we're ready to storm away from the chasing pack in the up coming weeks.
It's been a long long time in coming, a run in as important as this one but it's a welcomed run in by all Liverpool fans. We won't allow our players to throw it away now, they've worked too hard to get back into this position. We have walked through the wind and rain this season, our dreams have been tossed and blown a bit but at the end of that storm our sky is golden and our heads are held high with hope in our hearts.
This is our year and I can't believe I doubted that less than two months ago but I did. Thankfully that belief is burning as strong as ever right now, especially after today's game which could of proven to be a banana skin with it being so close to the annerversiarry of the Hillsborough disaster our players minds could of been on more important things than football at this time. And I'm sure the lads wanted to win today for our 96 friends and their loved ones, I even saw Carra point to the banners in the crowd before kick off telling the rest of the lads that's what we're playing for when you put on the Red of Liverpool. You're playing for every single Liverpool fan, past, present and future.
This is our year, the first year of our decade of dominance.
