Liverpool owner John W Henry was present to witness the Reds' best performance of the season against Chelsea on Sunday, and he later appeared to question whether Roy Hodgson's men had not been playing as a team at times this season.
Fernando Torres struck two first-half goals to send Liverpool level with a group of clubs including Tottenham on 15 points, as the champions were downed at Anfield. Having lost to Blackpool at the same ground earlier in the season, the change in mood in the red half of Merseyside has been vast over the past month.
Liverpool have dragged themselves out of the relegation zone with back-to-back wins against Blackburn, Bolton and Chelsea, and they are now targeting a return to the top four. And Henry, who witnessed his first game in the Merseyside derby defeat to Everton, seemed to hint that Hodgson now has his players pulling in the same direction for the first time.
"An indication of what can happen when this group comes together as one?'' he wrote on Twitter.”The second goal was perfection. Learned what a very clean sheet is.''
