Babel, Benayoun, Torres...

i wouldn't get carried away with how much we have scored because all the teams that we have trounced in recent weeks were a shambles defensively. Though it is still great to see us with players that offer a genunine goal threat like babel, yossi and torres. If we can stick 2 or 3 away against the likes of utd then that would really show that we have moved up a level!

Were they a shambles in defense due to us giving them no time on the ball for 90 minutes? We have been playing so far up the pitch it is hard for other teams to get out of there own halfs. We pressurise teams so well that sooner or later they normally crack and start rushing there play and mistakes happen.

fair point as we have been woking very hard in closing teams down but i still want to be convinced when we are up against teams with good defenders that don't make those mistakes and in the big pressure games against the scum chelsea asenal and the tough dogged teams like blackburn. Because at the end of the day its going to be our ability to outscorethe opposition in the big games that will decide if we win the league!

I can't wait for the return of Alonso. With these others hitting form now, he will create even more oppertunities for them both directly and indirectly.

IMO, we have the best squad of players in the prem. We need another top striker and another top defender and then we will even be on par with the mighty Barca!

A Goal is still a goal even if it's a peno or goes in off his cock.
Gerrard has been masterful in recent weeks.
