I hadn't realised KL had changed so much. Took a walk from masjid jamek LRT to menara maybank just now - it was hot, smoggy air, the interlocking pedestrian floor tiles are downright dirty, the air at the LRT station was stale and poorly ventilated, the traffic isn't sympathetic to pedestrians and let's not talk about the pavement (not) design(ed) for walkers. I sensed an awareness of the seedier side of KL as I approached Mydin and my xenophobic side took note of the large nos of indons and banglas- tho equally likely was the posssibility of snatch theft from the mcycle riders of the mat rempit kind. And even the food was lousy.
Liverpool's chances
As per every season, it's 50-50 - either we win or we don't.. bleah how uncommitted can I get!
But Rafa's strengthened the front, back looks as strong as ever, the middle-even by exchanging Alonso with Barry looks quite formidable, tho I can't really see how that transaction is a reinforcement, really looks a like-for-like replacement. But, what do I know?
United, Chelsea, Arsenal are still the main competitors - and Rafa better not sell Alonso to Arsenal as that really strengthens our rivals- esp with Wenger's track record of polishing talents and Alonso's industry and sublt passing skills with Fabregas eye for a pass will be a very strong central axis for Arsenal's attacking verve to pirouette from.
All in all, if pushed to give a prediction, we shall improve our points tally given the number of draws last year when we couldn't score the killer second goal and the defensive lapses, it'll be close and we'll fight it out until May, hopefully - then it'll just be who has the most luck - with injuries, refereeing decisions and so on. Btw we'll get our first league win against MU under Rafa this year - that I'm sure!
