We were F***ing boss and we've returned in the last few weeks to not settle for a 1-0 win. We've gone for the kill to finish games off.
Defensively we had very little to do but what we did have to, we done reasonably well with one or two exceptions from set pieces. Jones looked assured, Wisdom has returned to his form, Carra and Agger dealt with everything and Johnson once again defended admirably on the left.
Midfield was positive throughout. Lucas had arguably his best game since returning from injury, Gerrard was a F***ing beast and Henderson harried and hurried the Norwich players throughout to constantly win back possession. And when he had it, he was always looking to create something. That's our best midfield trio by a country F***ing mile.
Up top, Downing looked dangerous for once, Suarez produced what we've come to expect from and Sturridge looks like he's slotted in with no problems. He and Suarez have got an instant understanding and with Stevie providing the service for them, well success can only follow in truth.
The goals, were all special. Henderson's was a F***ing rocket and something a lot of us have wished for, for a long time - a central midfielder on the edge on the box. Suarez' was top quality throughout. Positive forward ball from Lucas, clever dummy by Sturridge and a well taken finish by Luis. The third was again a positive pass from a midfielder - this time Henderson - chipping it over for Downing who puts in a dangerous ball first time only for Danny to knock it home for three in three. Stevie's goal was the Stevie of old, driving from the middle and rocketing one in from 20 odd yards out. And the fifth, great play by Raheem before he rolls it across to either score himself or for Borini to knock it in but unfortunately Bennett got in the way. Still ended in a goal, but would of been nice for us to score all five. But five goals, five different goalscorers - not bad la.
Was F***ing bouncing round town last night (or should that be slipping?).
It was the perfect start to the weekend.
Now it's time to keep this run going and give Oldham a good F***ing twatting as well. Before turning Arsenal over and continuing our march up the table.
