AT LAST!
i can understand (and do) a Chem HL WS on Analytic Chemistry!!! yes yes yes...
all the mugging (and giving up Spidey 3 has sorta paid off... haha)
Liverpool 1-0 Chelsea (Liverpool win 4-1 on penalties)
It can be said that Chelsea is more of a marathon runner than Liverpool (who are good like in short spurts in cup competitions). Credit must go to Benitez for out-smarting Moan-rinho on the European stage yet again.
Although i think Mourinho will go at the end of the season (due to Abrahmovic and Kenyon, and maybe Arnsen), i still think that he is a fantastic manager, a breath of fresh air into a relative stagnant EPL. It can be said that Chelsea without Mourinho is as good as leaderless. Ranieri had the same backbone as Mourinho, but yet did not come close to matching the achievements of the Portuguese Man-of-war. It was him that transformed the good signings made by Ranieri (i believe so) into a working and consistent team. Sacking Mourinho might lead to massive player defections with him. Not a good idea.
Liverpool have proven themselves to be a force in Europe, and mostly in the domestic cup competitions. However, i feel that they are lacking at home in the EPL. No use buying players to win the Champions League, when you stink at home. Although Pool fans might love to win the cups, but deep down they want the EPL title back at Anfield after God knows how long. In order for Benitez to be in the elite group (Shankly and Paisely), he needs to win the EPL, bad. The aim is to get a good supporting cast. Gerrard, Alonso, Kuyt will be fine. Gonzalez, Pennant, Zenden, not so. The inflow of cash by the American sponsors need to be spent on good and proven back-ups (not the big shot striker).
