After the doom n’ gloom of October and November it’s amazing what a difference a couple of victories make. Liverpool have finally hit a patch of form, or perhaps the fixture list has relented slightly. Whichever it is there’s no doubt that things are looking up. The performance against Charlton wasn’t perfect, to dominate a team in that way and still be only one up with 15 minutes to play isn’t good for those of nervous disposition. Still there was much to admire in the attacking football we played, a touch more ruthlessness and we’d have been setting records.

With both United and Chelsea well away there’s little hope for a league challenge this year, I reckon splitting the pair is as much as we can aim for. There’s still loads to play for though, a couple of cup ties with Arsenal and a mouthwatering clash with Barcelon on the horizon offer the hope that the team is hitting form at a crucial moment in the season.

We’ve only seen glimpses of the consistency and organisation of last year. If the manager and team can only raise their game just a fraction and keep it there this could still be a season to remember.
