A stroll at Vicarage Road

A little late on my thoughts on the previous match on Saturday. Watched the match with my brother and dad in the comforts of home sweet home, Seremban! We were kinda sloppy and impatient in the first quarter of the hour or so. Succumbing to their long ball tactics, but as the commentators said the other day, our class showed. The 3-4-3 formation worked although I was quite sceptical when I saw the team sheet at the start of the match. Bellamy and Kuyt were fantastic once more. When you see Kuyt and Bellamy play more and more, you will understand clearly why they were brought into Anfield by Rafa Benitez. Bellamy reminds me of a certain Michael Owen, and I think Bells workrate is even higher compare to Michael. Kuyt is a rarity as a striker. He hustles, runs, chases, do all the dirty work, dropping back deep to play a pass, hold up the ball and bring the whole team into play. That is what I called an unselfish player. It's a good trait I believe. Perhaps, one out and out goalscorer to come hopefully by January or in the summer to equip ourselves with a natural goalscorer. Any suggestions? Villa, Torres, Bent, Defoe? I am not too sure about these people but the prospect of signing a big name is always very very exciting.

As for the match at Vicarage Road, a brace by Crouch and a Bellamy opener sealed the match. It would do the confidence a whole lot of good before the Russian army come visiting on Saturday. I am confident we will gain something from the match. I have to be! You'll Never Walk Alone. Mourinho, we'll be chasing you down. Sir Alex, you better watch over your back as the Reds are marching in!

oh goodness. turn on your spam repellent on bloggers!

anyway we did well against Watford and the 3-4-3 is amazing. Might prove to be useful against Chelsea this weekend due to their recent defensive fraility.

Would love to see Klass Jan Hunterlaar of Ajax or just bring back Pongollefrom Recreativo(he did quite well there so far). Torres is waaaaaaaaaaay overrated, so is Bent and Defoe. Villa would prove to be very costly.

I am actually quite satisfied with our current strikeforce. Kuyt need more supply tho instead of chasing the ball himself and crossing the ball to find...no Kuyt in the box. Get better wingers or play Gerrard in the right so Mascherano and Alonso will give us stability in the middle.
