Liverpool 2 - 0 Middlesbrough
Nando Double keeps Liverpool 2nd on the league table
Fernando Morientes played his best game yet in the premier league by scoring 2 goals against Boro, hence adding 3 points to the Anfield club's tally before heading to Japan for the World Club Championships.
Getting the goals must have been a boost to Nando's confidence. He has only scored twice before his couple last weekend. Liverpool seems to be hitting some fine form for the past month, we kept the 10th clean sheet; our strikers are scoring goals & even Steven Gerrard is playing well on the right side, though his preferred position would have been in centre midfield.
Boro seems to have a game plan in mind, coming to Anfield. To contain the likes of Nando, Crouch, Gerrard and Riise for as long as they can hold on. However, the moment Luis Garcia was brought on; things changed. We seemed to be winning more possession & the goals came off Nando not long after Garcia was brought on.
The win was important for Liverpool. They are now 2nd on the league table, trailing Chelsea. It was a vital win & moral boost for the lads before they leave for Japan for the WCC.
Hopes are now high that Liverpool could return from Japan, branding themselves as the Champions of the World. How cool does that sound?
