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.
