Champion's League: Liverpool gets a win, Real Madrid gets trashing

Seems as though this season is looking a lot like last season for Liverpool. Mediocre in the EPL, but playing ever so well in the Champion's League.

But whatever. Winning 2-1 away against Real Betis is a decent result, and I'll take it anytime. With Chelsea in the group, we're gonna have to do well against Betis and Anderlecht to go through to the knockout stages, so this IS a good result.

Some thoughts about the game this morning:

• Sinama-Ponggolle should be given more games!
• Luis Garcia is the most inconsistent player I've ever seen...
• Hyypia is looking very shaky these days.
• Josemi still can't defend
• Carragher solid as ever, and good to see him as captain this time
• Crouch looks like a giant sotong sometimes
• We seem to play better without Gerrard sometimes...
• Sissoko is looking good
• Xabi Alonso IS our best player
• Zenden is only who seems to be able to cross...

Oh well, a win's a win, which is more than Real Madrid can say...
