After the high of watching Liverpool conquer Chelsea on Sunday, reds fans have been somewhat brought back down to earth with the frustrating draw at Wigan on Wednesday. It would have been nice to make it four league wins in a row, but this is the Premier League we’re playing in, and there is no such thing as an easy Premier League away match. So, on a positive note, at least it was one more point gained there than in the corresponding fixture last season, and perhaps more importantly, we saw yet more evidence that Fernando Torres is getting closer to reaching his best form.
The Spaniard’s finish against Wigan was as clinical as they come, and I’m glad it also puts an end to the unwanted record of him not managing to score in a league game away from home this season.
