There is no doubt Liverpool have strengthened this year. Torres is a formidible talent as you are beginning to see. The ability to use either Pennant or Babel as shock troops and crossers of the ball is a great assett. The midfield is looking strong also with the return of Sissoko and Gerrards current top form. Defence wise is sound too. I do believe this is a season for Liverpool. Chelsea are in more turmoil than appears on the surface - the departure of Robben is significant as I am not yet convinced that some of their individually talented players can gell for tough encounters. Man U will be better than right now but a repeat of last year is unlikely with some players not on form. Arsenal will again be crowd pleasers without quite being able to ac hieve conistency. There is also now a good pack of "next best" teams like Everton, Spurs, Newcastle, possibly the new Man City, Villa on a good day etc who will be harder to beat than last year.
