he is a real Captain Fantastic. we've been blessed to have him at the club for so long. it's true that we lucked out a little against chelsea; drogba sick, lampard and essien out, but the first half was the first time i've seen liverpool play this season anywhere close to the liverpool of old--zeal, passion, etc. we have wigan next, i think? if we can keep this run going and beat them, i think we'll really have a shot at keeping confidence and momentmum going, and now that we have funds for the January transfer window--well, i'm more hopeful than i've been since xabi left and it all started to unravel.
