Another away victory and another three points. Whilst it rained viciously at White Hart Lane, it seems a rainbow has been set over Anfield. Liverpool had to make up with the rain, which in a way had added up to the spectacle, but the sight of the rainbow, and the well earned three points makes it all worth while.
I am really made up with these three points especially considering Spurs home form. Liverpool started the match quite well, with Bellamy leading the line pretty well and being more than handful for the Spurs defenders. I am really warming up to this lad. I was rather feeling different to him before, looked to me more intent of mouthing off than anything else, but now he seems to be brimming with confidence, a tireless worker and really intent to make it happen. Together with his confidence, he seems to have refound his coolness infront of goal, and even though being a natural striker he has an unselfish side to him especially towards Kuyt, his pass to him in the first half whilst in the penalty area being a prime example.
Shortly after being subbed on Boxing Day at Ewood Park, I spotted him on his feet geeing the lads up which I think is pretty unusual when usually the subs are just watching rather bored.
Garcia's goal owed more to persistence rather than brilliance, and the scorer was another one who had a pretty good game after being off colour for most of the season so far. Yesterday for a start, his passes mostly found a red shirt!
Special mention has got to go to the back four especially the central pairing. They worked the offside trap to perfection, frustrating mostly Defoe in the process and like two rocks they just repelled anything thrown back to them. We all know what Carragher is capable of and he was my man of the match, but Agger deserves the plaudits too. He is forging a really good partnership with Carragher and have now oust Hyypia from the starting team sheet. While so far he is not as solid as Carragher, I would suggest he is more refined and reminds me of the loyal Finn.
All in all another well earned three points, which confirm that the travel sickness has now abated. 2006 has confirmed Anfield as a fortress. 2007 should only re-confirm it, starting with a victory over Allardyce's Bolton.
