In rude health

[JCase]

Where to start?!

Firstly, we have four strikers who are all now off the mark for the season. This is so important. We can now perm any two from four (or, realistically for the most part, Torres + one from three) with confidence. It's not possible for any club to have four Fernando Torres-standard strikers, but I reckon our four are about as good as any pool of strikers in the country. A fantastic headache for Rafa to have.

We are oozing quality all over the park, on the bench and in the stands. We've got the greatest midfield in the world. 'Unfashionable' players such as Arbeloa and Pennant have started the season brilliantly, Ryan Babel has huge, explosive potential and the silky Benayoun finally got the chance tonight to show us what he can do. And I haven't even mentioned Brazilian Player of the Year Lucas Leiva.

CL football emphatically guaranteed, a great start in the league and now a sequence of games (Pompey away being the biggest test) that are extremely winnable. What a good time to be a Red.

I don't recall feeling so good about our squad for a long, long time. Off the field, we demonstrated tonight the club's, and more importantly, the city's class with our tribute to Rhys Jones, and it made me feel incredibly proud.

We've got a wonderful new stadium on the way, impressive new owners, the greatest manager in the world and loads and loads of ****ing good players.

Absolutely buzzing.

Too right mate. I just know we are going to hammer Derby senseless by 5 or 6 goals this weekend. Can't wait

...Yep, 'Beat them out the door' as the Irish commentator said of our performance last night.

Despite (or in-spite, maybe - Senor Benitez, are you reading my mails?) my sig, I am really impressed with the squad this season - not only 'on paper' but actually on the pitch as well! It does look to me that Benitez has let the players off the leash somewhat - and it's great to see!

Long may it continue and I be wrong!

Frank.

Derby must be cacking themselves.

Ive had a massive grin on my face since that match finished last night, and will do all day.

This is the best time to be a Red since the glory days of the eighties.

Im so excited about the future its untrue.

We are going to lose to Derby aren't we?

[Warren]

Normally if Carra and Stevie were both out of a game I'd be worried, but not anymore. Out of the 'big 4' we have certainly started the season looking the better of the teams, the depth of our squad is just awesome.

FFS we played a team that werent playing football at all.ppl are just getting carried away here.

We're gonna tear Derby a new one. They can try putting all 11 player behind the ball, won't make a difference. I'm feeling a Torres hatrick coming on

Only if they score five plus goals against us. I believe we will run over them this weekend and win 6,7-0.

Hahahaha I KNEW IT. And I might've known you'd be the first.

Do you take any joy at all from football? Any joy from being an LFC supporter? Or do you just sit there slagging everyone off and bleating about everything?

Touch optimistic?

I fancy 4-0.

Derby are even worse than Toulouse. I won't be surprised if Torres scores four, five goals against them. He could already have scored five plus goals in the league if he had only put away the easy chances that he created, several missed one on ones for example.

[Warren]

I think we'll win 15-0

I think we'll win 15-0

That's the spirit
