This Is Anfield

After years and years of finding a replacement for the likes of Ian Rush and Robbie Fowler, I think we have found the right one to bring those goals for us. The finishing for both goals were not superb but the instinct was so so good, especially for the second goal. Not many strikers could have put that second goal in given the split second and position Kuyt was in at that time. He reminded me, not of the great strikers like Alan Shearer or Romario, but very much of the hard working and life giving strikers like Keegan and Rush. These players play with their heart and soul but their skills are not that great. Kuyt has the character that is needed in a winning team.

Just when I asked if there'll come a day when I could actually say that MY TEAM played superbly, Liverpool gave all their fans a chance to say that in back to back wins! Reading did not make it easy for Liverpool, mind you! They played well and I respect them for the kind of football they've been playing so far.

The team has shown so much improvement after the trip to Old Trafford and I'm on top of the world. So are the other Anfield faithfuls out there!

The key was Gerrard playing in the middle of the park and Crouch - Kuyt combination. Give them another month or so and we'll be seeing magicians in our team. Crouchie is not the man we saw at the beginning when he started his career with Liverpool. Guess he's been training real hard lately. Sometimes, we sit and wonder why did Rafa buy him or Kuyt but I guess he's got way better vision than us. We couldn't see their potential but Rafa could. And that is what makes me feel confident that this team will move towards the right direction under Rafa's Rafalution!

Am waiting eagerly for the next game against Arsenal. It's good that our manager is a man with minimal emotions as Arsene Wenger doesn't like managers celebrating when their team scores. What a whiner he is! I saw that West Ham - Arsenal game and even I shouted as if Liverpool had won the CL in a penalty shoot out. It was played with so much of feeling and intensity! How could you expect that poor Pardew guy not to celebrate after all the sticks he and his team has been getting lately! And that sore loser had to shove the guy because of that. Come on .... That goal would have woken up a even a dead man!

Anyway, hats off to West Ham for the kind of display the put up last weekend!

Hope and pray that Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the guardian angels will be on Liverpool's side when we take on the Gunners.

Liverpool 4 life!
