Excellent stuff lads. I said after the Utd game how good I thought Alonso was, and he was even better yesterday.
God, i'm so encouraged with us at the moment I really am. Nine points out of nine at home is exactly what the doctor ordered. Ok we have played relatively poor teams, but we've been playing such sides at home for the last few years with less success.
Last season we wouldn't have beaten such sides so comfortably. Its just really refreshing to see us trying to beat teams.
Obviously we have to improve when we play the big sides - the forthcoming game at Chelsea will be a big acid test. Its the things that Rafa says which encourage me so much. After the game he didn't go ott about the performance and result, in fact he said he wanted more goals and that we can improve.
The best bit was when he said he wants to see us do better against the top teams. He just seems to be in touch with everything that we are all thinking.
