Kuyt was shocking

Winning is a habit and a very nice habit.
How many have we won on the bounce now?"Let me say for the record, I am not a gangster and never have been. Im not the thief who grabs your purse. Im not the guy who jacks your car. Im not down with the people who steal and hurt others. Im just a brother who fight back."

Ok, observations from the game...
First of all, footballing intelligence. Skrtel impressed again with his solidity but there was one incident in the 2nd half where Aurelio got the ball caught under his feet and the reading player broke into the box down the right. Skrtel came across and it was one of those where the defender would get there a split second too late and catch the player. I feared the penalty...but Skrtel just got his body in between the ball and the player...and it ran behind safely for the goal kick. So many stupid defenders get caught out with those, but Skrtel didnt. Excellent stuff.
Onto Torres. Watch his goal again and marvel at his intelligence and maturity. Bikey was meant to be marking him, but Torres movement was superb. Led Bikey a merry dance as the kick was about to be taken and once the ball reached the box, Bikey was nowhere near Nando, who comfortably headed home. Incredible intelligence and maturity for his age.
Now Babel. I like him, i really do. But footballing intelligence is something he needs to improve on. I imagine he probably will, but there are too many occasions where he tries to do to much on his own, when a simple pass or lay-off is the correct course of action. Several times, he beats the man but sometimes he loses the ball when there wasnt any need to. But overall, he's coming along nicely. Quick and strong, he commits defenders and packs a punch with his shooting. Very good progress.
Reina. Every keeper makes top saves. That's not a measure of quality. The amount of mistakes they make is the key and Pepe doesnt make many. More impressive is his mobility and ability to set up quick counter attacks with a good throw or kick. Couldnt ask for more.
Monster Masch was excellent again and it's nice to see him finally score. If he can somehow add 5 goals a season to his game, he'll be more or less the complete 'defensive' midfielder.
It's no coincidence that Rafa's been playing the strongest side with minimal rotation - and we've won 7 in a row.
The only weak link for me is Kuyt. Babel offers pace, power and commits defenders, as well as carrying a consistent goal threat. Gerrard is Gerrard, Torres is world class. The only weak link in the forward line (and the team overall IMO) is Kuyt. Too weak and slow, lacks quality and spark...and looks out of his depth and easy to defend against.
I like him for his attitude and commitment, but you need more than workrate, especially in an attacking role.
It's hugely frustrating that we're left with a mountain to climb every February because if he just didnt feck about with the team earlier in the season, we'd probably be in a four-team title race. There's simply no need for it, it unsettles the rhythm and disrupts the stability and fluidity of the team. Will he do it again next season? I fear he will...but hope i'm wrong.
