BEING without Fernando Torres does not mean that Liverpool can’t realistically go to Stamford Bridge on Sunday and get something.
In fact, even a point would be another decent marker to put down in their efforts to finally prove they have what it takes to take a shot at the title.
It would make it four points out of six in two games against the other ‘top four’ sides this season and that mini-league is often key to the race for honours, simply because those sides don’t drop many points to rest of the teams in the Premier League. Least of all Chelsea.
The reason I think Liverpool are unconcerned about absentees is because whoever plays, they seem super-fit and able to keep up the tempo and pressure right to the final whistle.
I don’t know what’s been done differently this pre-season to make them like that but take the WIgan game on Saturday. Last season, a game like that would have been a draw and two points dropped.
No, they are still not playing particularly well. But at this stage, if the results are right, that won’t bother the players one little bit.
