Watching the Reds play the Gunners on sat nite, I thought Arsenal actually played quite poorly for the 1st half, and Michael Owen really should have slotted in at least 2 goals from very good chances (I reckon Van Nisteroy or Shearer would have nailed them) and were lucky to be 1-1 at half time, and thought perhaps Liverpool would go on and win,
But no, once again in the big games against the big guns, they fail to deliever. This has been happening constantly to Liverpool, well since Houllier has been in charge.
It's clear as crystal that they probably can't win the title now, with 8 games played I doubt they have the players with the right 'toughness' like a Roy Keane or Sol Campbell, nor do they really play with any real clear structure. Kewell helps, but when players like Gerrard go missing, you can't compare this team in the same league as Manchester United, Arsenal or Chelsea.
They probably don't underachieve if they make Champions League, but certainly are overrated as 'title contenders'.
BTW Pires goal was $#^$#^ awesome !!!!!!!
