| 6 games, 3 wins, 2 draws, and we have lost a game. Not bad for a start. We have 11 points and we are only 3 points behind Leeds United. We have already 3 very difficult games out of our way and I believe we are performing quite well so far. Today's win against Leicester was also important as we manage not to conceive a goal. Although we did not score many goals this time Solano's goal was enough to give us the three important points. I had said before the game that we had to win it because then we would had been in a strong position against Liverpool. Our spirits are high, just like our league position. It may only be the start, but a good start is always what a team needs in order to boost everyone's moral and get the best out of them.
Now we have to face Liverpool, one of the best teams in the League. Owen's absence will make defending easier, but in no way this means that it will be easy. On the contrary, it is going to be a difficult afternoon when the Reds visit St Jame's park but it will not be difficult just for us. After the ManU game we have proven we can challenge high-class teams quite well and I do believe that this Saturday we will prove it again.
