No surprise at all. Soton very strong. In fact, they play better than us today.

Enough with Dempsey and Drogba lah. It's sound like lusting best friend wife. Haha...
Get a grip man, losing second time doesn't mean the end of the Liverpool journey. Have faith on them.

the man behind the failure to sign dempsey had been demoted am i not right? so drogba, cant rule out yet... who else we can sign? ussain bolt? lol

If we are gonna talk about mistakes, we go a long way back. Back in Gerard Houllier's days, we were aiming for the up and coming Ronaldinho in 2001, before even the world know who heck he is. We were reluctant to pay $15 million to PSG. Then we refuse to pay $10.5 million to Sporting Lisbon to Cristiano Ronaldo in 2002 thinking it was too much. Then Samuel Eto'o actually begged GH to sign him instead of trying to land Djibril Cisse. I still remember the article "I am not as handsome as David Beckham but I am a better footballer than him". And Nicolas Anelka was actually settling down in Liverpool although on loan. We ended up getting Sinama Pongolle, Anthony Le Tallec, El-Hadji Diouf, Salif Diao and Bruno Cheyrou (future Zidane).

Then in 2006, Benitez thought Sergio Aguerro is a big risk and not worth the money and went on to sign Fernando Morientes.

Sigh... if those players have graced the Red shirt, wonder if we still be waiting for our 19th.

Dont JINX him please . Bruno Cheyrou was quoted to be the next Zidane, Pablo Aimar next Maradona, and all now are forgotten people.
