=========
Assumptions
Liverpool :: Better keeper, better defence (respect to Sami,
@ Djimi), better defensive mid combo (momo and mascherano), better structure upfront (Kuyt, Bellamy and Crouch).Chelsea :: Same if not worse defence, better players in midfield but not better system, lost all width (Robben and Cole dont have the same effect). Better strikers (Sheva > Gudjonsen).
Based on the aforementioned evidence, Liverpool to inflict more pain on Chelski and Mourinho!!
but if they met in European competition, you have to stick with your heritage... Laziale all the way, although if pool won i wouldnt be cut!
