ANOTHER KEY TO SUCCESS IS KEEPING CLEAN SHEETS. WE HAVEN’T DONE THAT ENOUGH, SO TO RECORD ONE AT WEST BROM WAS IMPORTANT. It’s obvious, but the more often you can prevent your opponents from scoring, the more chance you have of winning. SINCE we last played at Anfi eld, we’ve had two good away wins over fi rst Stoke and then West Brom. We know how diffi cult it is to get a victory at the Britannia. Earlier in the season we performed very well there only to come away with nothing. They defend strongly and really put you under pressure. Again though, we matched them and this time we got what we felt we deserved. Luis’ goals were excellent, with his fi rst one showing just how good he is. As Kenny said afterwards, it wasn’t all about him though. The whole team performed and it was especially pleasing to overturn a defi cit and done that enough, so to record tight at the back, we always feel go on to win. You need to do that one at West Brom was important. we have the players to score at the regularly if you want to enjoy a It’s obvious, but the more often other end. good season. you can prevent your opponents It was good to see both Charlie Another key to success is from scoring, the more chance you and Andy get on the scoresheet keeping clean sheets.
