Top REDS!

i am so exciting to celebrate our brilliant victory over the Chelsea last night. now, we would have been happy to settle for a point ahead of the game to maintain our unbeaten start to the season. however, this win was anything but that, it was a richly deserved victory and we thoroughly deserved all three points.

Rafa Benitez really is a tactical genius. as he has done in almost every game this season so far, he had his homework done and got his tactics absolutely spot on. however, our lads were fantastic today and i was proud of every single one of them. Mascherano was his usual tigerish self doing the dirty work for us in the centre of midfield. Gerrard also had a great game and is really providing the team with some leadership this season. thanks god we didn't sell Xabi Alonso in the summer as he really seems to have rediscovered the form that he hasn't really shown for a couple of seasons. he got a bit of good fortune with the deflection on his goal but full marks to him for being in the right position to take the strike and he was very unlucky not to get a second goal when his excellent free-kick struck the post.

hopefully, Torres will be back soon because we are definitely going to need him. will we be on top of the table come next May? i don't know, but i do know that we are on top of the pile right now and as long as it lasts, i intend to enjoy every second of it. okey! 'eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.'
