EVERTON 0 - TORRES 2 (could have been a hatrick)

It was a victory that gives Liverpool their best start to a Premier League season - with star striker Torres ending a barren six-game sequence in style and keeper Pepe Reina not having a save to make in the match - BBC Sports

This is one of the most satisfying game, in terms of determination and demolition by our main striker. The combination of Keane, Kuyt and Torres surely a devastating trio. All the 2 goals were `coordinated' between them three. In fact, the other 2 goals were also orchestrated by this trio. It would be nice if the 2 goals were counted... but hey... 2-0 is ok.

I cannot help it but noticed when the whistle was blown, only two particular players on the pitch raise their hands celebrating as if it was the final game of the season. Who else? Those two former Blues themselves - Carra and Gerrard. Still I can't comprehend why such animosity persisted within this 2 clubs in that city... Ok, I'm an international fan, not a Kop. Though the joke can be said that Everton now does look like the team B of Manchester United. They have Neville, Howard and Saha. For that, beating Everton is sweet to me.

Should I comment also on Torres? I don't think so. He has shown his capabilities last season and of course, he will be a bit slow in the current season. May be the opponent's defenders have done their homework well on how to stop him. Like Stoke City, there were 4 backs and 5 midfielders to ensure the ball never arrive at Torres. Everton did almost the same but the marauding Kuyt and the lively Keane ensure the focus cannot be turn to Torres alone. The first goal proves that once Lescott busy to stop Kuyt, Torres was unguarded at the back, thus the beautiful goal. It wasn't easy. Not when you have to deal with the likes of Tim Howard - still a capable stopper, regardless of his brilliant time with Man.U is long over. Then of course, Kuyt was also the catalyst to the second goal. The cute flick by Keane was taken smoothly by Kuyt but he can't get passed the defence. Torres was not even in the picture until the balls drop in front him to bazooka it across the helpless Howard. hmmm.... the best gift for Aidilfitri, this coming Wednesday. And on Thursday, be prepared to watch LFC vs Eindhoven. I surely gonna watch it with my nephews in Kuching. NGAP SAYOT!
