Alvaro Arbeloa has questioned his former club Liverpool's title credentials after selling Xabi
Alonso to Real Madrid this summer.
Arbeloa made the switch from Anfield to the Bernabeu in July, with Alonso following the same path
just a week later for a fee believed to be in the region of £28million.
Rafa Benitez says his side are playing the same system as last season but are scoring more
goals.
Liverpool have seen plenty of goals go in at either end of the field as they have racked up 15
Premier League goals and conceded nine in just six games.
Benitez's side have battled to two 3-2 away wins against Bolton and West Ham respectively, sparking
criticism of their defensive abilities.
It's getting difficult to find new ways to praise Fernando Torres. See here and here, among other
sycophancy. The goals per game, the hat-tricks, the fact he can score any kind of goal, that he's
only 25; I can go on and on. But there's little else to be written on how potent he is. So I got to
thinking about the "supporting cast.
("How poorly Madrid are defending.")
Espanyol 0-3 Real Madrid
0-1 Granero, 39'
0-2 Guti, 77'
0-3 Ronaldo, 90'
This was a constant refrain from the Spanish language announcers and the theme of most of the
match, as the Merengues struggled to hold their nerve at the back, occasionally looking as porous
as SpongeBob Square Pants in defense.
