Fernando Torres _320
AFTER another draw we are still left wondering if the class of 2009 really are the real deal or not; yes the draw specialists are resilient but have they really got that cutting edge to go on and win one or more trophies?
You can’t fault them in getting level in this game but once they pulled it back they seemed to drop down a gear.
To win trophies you need ability and desire in equal measures, some-times I really wonder if we have enough of the latter.
Now a tricky trip to Goodison awaits – on form we’ll be the underdogs.
What is clear is that as a defending unit, bar the last two goals against Everton, we are more or less there – full-backs may change but whoever starts in front of Pepe Reina are rock solid.
Martin Skrtel was especially excellent.
The zonal-marking debate will rage but Reina’s clean sheet record is a suitable retort.
