It's On

FERNANDO TORRES LIVERPOOL'S NUMBER 9.  That phrase could be heard all around Anfield this afternoon as El Nino ran rampant over Chelsea's defence.  When I woke up this morning, I just had that gut feeling that Liverpool were going to play big today.  And that they did.  From the start the Anfield faithful were in full voice.  Liverpool are finding a new sense of confidence in themselves, and the fans are feeding them even more.  Recent star man Kyrgiakos was out with an illness and Johnson was still battling an injury, but Kuyt was making his return.  Liverpool have missed is work ethic over the past month, and he was quickly causing problems for Chelsea.  Playing up front with Torres, Kuyt picked out a pass across the Chelsea defence to the Spaniards right foot, who was able to hold off John Terry and dink the ball past Cech, to open the scoring in the 11th minute.  It was just the start Roy Hodgson could have asked for, with John Henry in the stands again.  Liverpool continued to dominate the play, and Meireles found Torres on the outside of the box, who cut back and curled home what could easily be a goal of the season contender.  And the celebrations showed just how much things have improved at Liverpool.  Liverpool had to endure a desperate Chelsea in the second half, and the heroics of Pepe Reina(and Carragher) kept the clean sheet intact.  Liverpool gained another three points in the League, something that will surely put a smile on all of Anfield, players and fans alike.  Liverpool's revival continues to gain momentum, and looking down the fixture list, things should only get better.  Wigan and Stoke away, and a return to Anfield against West Ham, Liverpool will surely be looking forward to the rest of the month.  Torres today showed his former self, the player that obliterated defences in his first season, and won Euro 2008.  It will be a blow to Chelsea's confidence, but they are bound to bounce back.  They were not at full strength today, and it will be a relief to them when they can get their midfield back intact.  Liverpool now currently sit in ninth on 15 points, just two points out of fifth.  Liverpool got the points they so deserved, but Liverpool must continue to perform through the next three games.  Beating Chelsea may prove to be a turning point in not only Liverpool's season, but the league itself.  Chelsea seemed to be running away with their title, but with a red machine in full effect, the race for the title(and fourth place) have been busted wide open.
