Ngog for All!

Oh my Ngog? Liverpool may not be in a worse off position than they were last season after all.
If Fernando Torres was injured the Reds could always turn to Peter Crouch to play up front, now he leads the line at Portsmouth so they slashed big in the summer on a world-class striker. They brought in exuberant striker Robbie Keane to enhance their title credentials and we all know what happened next.
The premature departure of Robbie Keane back to Tottenham Hotspur in January was baffling to say the least and Liverpool were looking in worse state than their forth-placed finish last term.
David Ngog first Premier League goal maybe give the belief that Rafael Benitez is not a barmy as first expected and the sale of Keane may not have been as bad as first expected.
Before the Sunderland game he looked nothing more than a hopeless Ryan Babel, and Babel is quite hopeless. However, his starting berth gave the young striker a fantastic showcase to show his worth and he duly delivered.
He was majestic and played light years ahead of his own age to supply Liverpool with a real option up front.
He conjured up some superb flicks and brought many of the midfielders into play. Even Javier Mascherano looked an attacking threat from his unfavoured right back position, as he was able to make use of Ngog’s ability to create space to blast a few shots wide (Well you weren’t expecting much else).
Ngog’s side-footed goal lifted a great deal of expectation and anxiety off Liverpool’s batted shoulders and they were in fear of falling away from this title race without a trace. More importantly, it gave breathing room between them and party smashers Aston Villa to make sue they secure those desperate Champions League places.
Ngog has always been prolific in youth football and has taken the first steps of becoming a real star on Merseyside.
Keane’s departure may look less ridiculous now. Benitez might have known what he was doing all along? I still doubt that very much.
