Wolves

Dunno what Kenny said to us before a tricky away visit to Wolves, but this was the best Liverpool have played (in an attacking sense) for a very, very long time.

Let's not beat around the bush - there's no mugs in the Premiership. Every team will pose us a different set of problems. But Kenny was spot-on yesterday, and for the first time in many a month Fernando Torres was supported by a rampaging midfield every time he got the ball.


I've not been overtly impressed by Raul Meireles in recent weeks - his distribution and general awareness have been sorely lacking. But his screamer against the Shite was just a warm-up for the contender for goal of the season against hapless Wolves. Talk about a perfectly executed first-time volley! No keeper in the world would've gotten anywhere near it.

Everything Meireles did was top-draw. His support for Torres was excellent and, on this form, Steven Gerrard would have a real problem getting back into the side.

We're still quite nervy at the back, but that was over-shadowed by the urgency to get bodies forward. What Rafa and Hodgson never really got to grips with was the way you win games is by scoring goals, something Kenny has been quick to put into action.

In his Saturday footy column, the spot-on Brian Reade rightly put forward what a lot of fans secretly desire but won't say, meaning the next full-time Liverpool manager would be Jose Mourinho. He'll be wanting if Kenny keeps us on this sort of form.
