Hello all!!
What a happy result. Although we really should have taken more of our chances (*cough* DIRK *cough* LUCAS) it was a great first half and a confidence-building win over those awful awful bitters.
Thought Gerrard was MOTM, he was back to his usual commanding self after a dire performance against les mancs, and I thought Dirk had a better game than normal despite his shots not coming off! Everything else from him was pretty positive. Lucas - well, I think he was nervous, it was uncharacteristic of him.
Fernando, Fernando, Fernando. Quel homme. That's all I can say.
Skrtel was great. I'm sooooo pleased with his progress, he's developing very nicely and will soon be a regular, the way he's going
Wondering why Arbeloa didn't even get a spot on the bench, considering how much he wanted to play and the fantastic form he's in.... Another one of life's little mysteries, I guess.
