Our defence was excellent against Monaco Sami was a colossus and Josemi muted their attacking forays with consummate ease and Jamie Carragher is also looking the part in the centre with Sami, as for Riise he is concentrating more on the defensive side of his game and its paying dividends .
Dudek however fills me with a sense of foreboding with every cross that’s played in but if we can eradicate this problem from our team then confidence will soar .
Benitez must know there is a strong contingent of fans that are desperate for Kirkland to replace Dudek and as hastily as possible ,and if the reception Kirkland received from the Kop last night as he warmed up is acknowledged by Rafa then Chris becoming a permanent fixture between the posts will not be long in coming albeit injury’s allowing .
