I agree point two, and I add a new one with the permission of Manhattan:
3.- Anfield.
A typical phrase in my country of the teams that face Liverpool is:
"2-0 is the least we can have to go to Anfield a bit comfortably"
Meaning Anfield is seen as a factor that counts a lot. That Pressure counts. And is one of my concerns for the future. Bigger stadium might not mean same pressure. Sometimes that security measures like putting the seats more separated make a difference in cold winter nights. It sounds stupid, but it does, I've suffered the change to a "new, better" stadium.

Drogba in Spain would struggle more than other more skillful strikers, as his contact routine and movements would be very punnished (Ask Kovacevic, or Zigic, the masters of fouls against them).

It definitely cuts both ways though, mate, since Gonzalez wasn't letting Crouch get away with much either. In fact, Crouch often gets called for a lot of non-fouls when playing for us in Europe or when playing for England. He just looks like he's fouling every time he challenges for a header and the continental refs are quick to give the defender that call. I just hope that doesn't hurt us too much in the final.
