Just to clear this up, the name was officially changed this year from the ‘Barclay’s Premiership’ to the ‘Barclay’s Premier League’ so Keith was right all along

Liverpool still play the same football. I will like to see more new faces combining on the Midfield, Babel look threatening when he come in. Not sure why no Kewell,Risse should stick to overlapping Left back. I use to worry about Benayoun when West H play against Liv,now he is Red’s player, I want to see him more, a very attacking minded player. Torres look good, he seem to be a player Liv lacking for past years, I think he is a striker who can run with the ball and shoot, ManU got Ronney, Chelsea got Drogba who can do this.Anyway, Congrat to the Reds, collected 3 points away, ManU only manage to Draw at home, so, a result, though just the start.

Yeah..Villa needs to work on the goal-scoring form, but whether or not the Ref was supposed to call the free-kick for Gerrard, he absolutely nailed it.

The ref could not let Carragher’s handball go without notice.

Liverpool played good, for the most- not sparkling. At the end of the day, it’s always about the 3 points. Just the 1st game of the season, too. So still time to improve and tweak up performances.

Villa need to work on their goal-scoring form.

Yikes fellas, I didn’t mean to cause such a stir. I referred to it as ‘BPL’ as in Barclay’s Premier League. From now on I’ll just say Premier League or EPL — you’ll have to forgive me, I’m a relative newbie on these grounds.

And Brian — I don’t understand your last post. I wasn’t insinuating that the EPL was boring. Far from it. In fact, the reason that I’m only starting to follow English football now is because the MLS just never cut it — I want to watch the best in the world, not a AAA league.

Keith, BPL? If you’re calling the EPL boring based on this game, well, you’d be right, not all games are this bad, but compared to other leagues *cough* MLS *cough* it’s a hundred times faster and more exciting.

Also, atleti, that ‘handball’ was rubbish, even if it did hit his hand or arm or whatever, they weren’t going to score on that play anyhow. In fact, in my opinion, it sucks because Carra would have been a shoe-in for man-of-the-match if that wouldn’t have happened.
