I reckon a distant 2nd is the best they can hope for.

Crouch and Bellamy ? Good partnership. Better than Crespo and Shevchenko ? If Benitez goes ahead with this ridiculous notion of signing Dirk Kuijt then the 'pool will get pulled out of shape constantly and struggle to find goals.

Errrm. Nooooo.

Gerrard and Gonzalez vs Lampard and Ballack ? Pennant strongly pushing for an England call-up a few years ago. Well at Chelsea they have Arjen Robben who can play there, and SWP who was on fire at the same time and later, has been capped and will be sitting on the bench at best.

Do you think Liverpool's defence is better than Chelsea's ?!!

Oh well, we'll see. But I doubt anyone will get near Chelsea (again) this season.
