I think there are several factors contributing to that - no Makelele, no Gallas, and an idiotically scheduled preseason. I'd love to know who thought playing in two different countries on consecutive days was a good idea. Or who thought playing just three matches
wouldn't leave us underprepared.

Gonzalez looked very good. Aurelio wasn't as much of a threat, but then he's meant to be a left-back. I'm not convinced Bellamy's the right fit for Liverpool; he's a good player, but he's never been a prolific goalscorer, and that's what they really needed up front.
