Keane: I'm Back, Baby!
-
Robbie Keane has declared that he is "back to his best" after leading Liverpool to a 3-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
Keane produced a pair of calm left-foot finishes to give Reds a comfortable leading heading into half-time in yesterday's clash with the Baggies at Anfield.
They were the Irishman's first Premier League goals since his £20 million move from Tottenham Hotspur during the summer, but he insisted he was unworried by his much-publicised drought.
"Of course it's nice to get the goals," Keane told Liverpool's official club website. "It's been a while but I knew it was just a matter of time. I wasn't getting down about things, which is something I might have done had a been a bit younger or more naive."
Some would-be pundits have already branded Keane a Kop flop, but others have called for patience and pointed to the striker's history of dry spells followed by veritable floods of goals.
The 28-year-old continued, "Hopefully today you have seen Robbie Keane back to his best. It's been stop start for me so far but I feel I've been getting better and better each game and hopefully that can continue."
While Keane's return to the score-sheet is a great sign, securing all three points against Tony Mowbray's men was the one and only 'must do' for Rafael Benitez's men.
The Merseysiders had hit a sticky patch which culminated in their loss to Spurs last weekend, but yesterday's win lifted them back to the top of the table.
"It was a good performance by the lads and we could have scored a few more," Keane added. "It was important we bounced back after Tottenham last week and we did that. There is a lot of resilience in this side." -
