LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB.....CHAMPIONS?

The day has arrived Liverpool Fc kick of the new season against Sheffield utd today, and in my opinion there has not been a better squad of players starting a season for us in nearly 20 years.
That is how highly i rate Rafa`s buys over the summer.
Last year we were a good team but Rafa signings has made us into potentially a great team, he has reinforced our defence with Paletta and Aurelio, by the way i think Aurelio is going to be a great player he loves to get forward.
Gonzalez on the left and Pennant on the right has at last given us width and pace, 2 ings we has been missing for years. Rafa was very busy today as we also may have signed Moroccan youngster Nabil El Zhar, one for the future but have heard great reports about him
Up front Bellamy also gives us pace but he is also a proven prem goal scorer and judging by last sunday also deadly at providing opportunities for other strikers.
But i think the most impressive signing was made yesterday Dirk Kuyt, his goals per game ratio is amazing 71 goals in 105 games.
He was idolised at Feyenoord and turned down bigger wages at the toon to join us, clearly he sees a team on the up.
There is no doubt we are a much better team than last year but chelski will be very hard to displace, even though we beat them last sunday they know how to win week in week out in the league. We improved in that department last year but we have to beat the big teams, chelski is a six pointer game to us and we have to approach it as a cup final, but we can be sure Rafa has pointed this out to our players.
Finally a prediction for the up-coming season..i cant see us finishing lower than second and as for top spot, it really is 50/50 i believe we are equal to chelski in every department, even way ahead in midfield but the team that gets off to a good winning run early in the season is going to have a big advantage, but that first Liverpool chelsea game is going to have a big say in the final outcome, i think it will be that tight at the end of the season, but i think we have the squad now to just edge it..............IN RAFA WE TRUST!
