‘Pool struggle under a Tuscan sun

It’s great to get into the swing of things with the Champions League. Liverpool had just started to hit form in the Premiership, but this was poor. No way through for Torres and co. and the result was fair. Dirk Kuyt was too tactless and Benayoum doesn’t pass the ball enough for my liking.

Rangers were hammered at home to Seville, so it may be a long qualification round. Arsenal on form at home with a 2-0 win over Olympiakos, although they left it late.
