what an encouraging showing from liverpool, inspite of the new players that came in.

rafa did a great job gelling the new players with existing ones. unlike 2 seasons ago where the reds stutter at the beginning, the reds of today looked well oiled and can only improve as the season goes by.
momo played a fantastic 90mins breaking up the chel$ki's midfield formation. bellamy and aurelio add new dimension to liverpool's play. finnan, riise and carragher remain rock solid as usual.
i dun want to count the chickens yet, but i am most hopeful that liverpool can mount a credible challenge this year.
i am also very interested to hear what the special one has to say post-match. inspite of all his pre-match yakking, nobody likes to lose a match, certainly not mister mourn. (even tho' it's a 50% chel$ki, as he put it)
