Top O' The Table We Will Go!(????)

It wasn't the most convincing win in the Premier League, but Liverpool did what they had to do, WIN.  The game was really end to end stuff, with no goals to show for it.  Torres had a few chances, but his lack of playing time is still showing.  The thing is though, he's making chances, and taking them.  That brings a sigh of relief to all Liverpool fans.  Torres had the vision to spot Maxi's run and backheel him through on goal, where Maxi stabbed the ball off of Jaaskelainen, sealing another 3 points for Liverpool.  Liverpool have shot themselves up the table to 12th now, but the question at hand is, can they keep it rolling against Chelsea on Sunday.  It is almost certain that Roy will rest the big guns Thursday for the Europa League match.  Another question that arises however; Do you rest Torres, or give him another game to find his deadly rythm?(Rest him Roy, Chelsea is much more important!)  Roy should be giving the youngsters a chance this Thursday, they have been tidying things up quite well in Europe this season.  It would be encouraging to see Shelvey and Pacheco given starting spots, and N'Gog will surely lead the line.  Liverpool have to keep themselves confident, with Chelsea coming into town Sunday, a goalfest could be in the midst.  Liverpool have to make Anfield feared again, the fans have to get behind the Reds.  Two Liverpool wins at Anfield this week, and not only will Liverpool be sure to qualify for the Europa League knockout stages, but the table will be hit by an earthquake.

Reds Revival? It starts with another three points!

Liverpool Football Club.  Five times European Champions.  18 League Titles.  Sure we have a rich and enviable history, but its 2010.  My dad witnessed Liverpool's dominance of England and Europe abroad.  He talks about how Anfield was feared across the country.  This day and age teams seem to be looking forward to the trip to Merseyside because a point at the very least is easily attainable.  At least, it was.

If Liverpool are to mount a challenge for anything, and by anything I mean a "top half of table finish" it is going to have to start Sunday on our trip to the Reebok.  Liverpool are coming off of the back of a good result last weekend, beating Blackburn 2-1.  Torres finally broke his goal drought and restored some relief in a side seemingly scraping for results at home.  Liverpool will have had a full 6 days without a match, so fitness levels should be on a high.  A healthy Torres means Liverpool goals, and hopefully Liverpool goals mean Liverpool wins!  Last season Bolton were ahead twice, Liverpool fighting back through Glen Johnson, Fernando Torres, and Steven Gerrard rifled home a winner.  Liverpool have to go into the Reebok Sunday with the attacking mentality they possessed against Blackburn.  Gerrard and Raul have to press forward, Torres needs to be fed.  He's hungry for goals, and the entire team has to buy into that attitude.  In all honesty, I don't care who scores Sunday, but I will accept nothing less than a win.  3 more points lost and not only will Roy Hodgson be losing grip on his post, but the players may surely want to leave theirs.
