This time next year i could be singing a complete different tune and saying how much of a waste he his, however, i get the feeling that will not be the case. Even though he's only young and only been here for a little while, when he has played there is a sense of, confidence. I like the look of voronin and babel, but torres as brought something that we've been missing for a long time, and that is a striker that looks like he will score twenty plus. I'll put my hands up and admit, i was sceptical of how much they spent on him, because i think no player is worth that amount of money, however, if he carries on playing like he did yesterday, i'll be the first to apologise.
I don't like praising players on there own, because i've been brought with the saying, "there is no I in Team", however, for this fella, i thought he deserved an article for himself. I do hope it isn't beginners luck and that we have found the missing piece, but even if he doesn't go and score as much as we hope, how he brings the team in and the way he can work with the other players, opens up more possibilties. Also, when he plays, we are not always relying on Gerrard to do it for us. I'm enjoying the fact that, he isn't the only person to rely on because when i look at the team, i'm seeing more match winners, more scorers and more believe.
It might only be one game, but this game has filled me with confidence, and maybe, even though i will whisper it, if we play our cards right, this could be "the season". I always start the season off with opptimism, which then turns into realism, however, i do believe that the season is in our hands and it's about time we roll up our sleeves and give it a proper go. We have a player in our grasp, that could be the missing puzzle to the jigsaw, or in other terms, the missing goalscorer to the premiership.
