Chelsea 0-1 Liverpool

[MikeCFC 45]

Morning M.

Yup quite a disappointing W/E all in all. But thats Chelsea -chance to stick their foot in the door missed.

On the positive Luis looks good, and Torres will score against them many a time in the next five seasons.......

Indeed mate.Luiz did look sharp and positive.Could of started imo,with Ivanovic going to RB.

Quick note.Notice Dalglish hugging Steve Clarke after the game?.

Clarkey's reaction-"OK ok Kenny,calm down","i can't show my enthusiasm too much","remember","i used to play for these lot"!!.

I can't believe how negative the media is. Sure we didn't have the best game but nor did Liverpool. But in all fairness I think some players did a good job - for example John Terry, Ashley Cole, David Luiz and even Michael Essien. Our midfield and strikers were overshadowed by wall of defenders, can't expect them to beat two or three defenders solo and have a decent shot on goal after that, impossible. We lacked wide players to stretch them out. When we switched to 4-3-3 gaps started to appear in Liverpool defence and I might have worked if we started with 4-3-3. Benching either Torres or Drogba isn't bad because it'll help Torres to adjust with the system aswell as give Drogba a much needed rest and reality call. We will bounce back, surely. KTBFFH

By the way, the gameplay was really familiar to the two Inter games last year in Champions League. Clarke and Mourinho know everything about the club, the players and so on so that worked against us aswell.

Anyone notice? Steve Clarke's let himself go a bit. Couldn't at first recognise him when his podgy face appeared on the telly.

His fault for joining Liverpool.

That was the problem.The midfield just didn't create.Drogba was like a little lost dog,out on the left side and could not get into any scoring positions.Liverpool stuck to Torres like flies round shit.It was obvious what they were set out to do.

Mikel's early first half booking meant he had to watch his step.Carlo should of brought Malouda on at the start of the second half and maybe should of left out Bosingwa,who yet again didn't have the greatest of games.

check the Times playing ratings ,,,you would think we were beaten by 6 goals at least.

Player ratings are so out of date and should not really be taken that seriously. Football Journalists always have their 'favourites',and will always give them top marks,even if they do have 'average' games.

You wonder at times whether they're watching the same game as us!.

He seems like a really nice guy. No drama queen, takes it like a man really. Respect that

[diskoviolente 425]

Losing to Liverpool is always disgusting, especially to this Liverpool side, one of the weakest they´ve had in years.

The thing is, it wasn´t a good game. Both sides were absoloutly aweful. Liverpools formation was really cowardish - 5 midfielders ?! They overcrowded our midfield and with no potential winger on from our perspective they have had it easy sticking 10 cunts behind the ball. Their goal was down to a communication breakdown in our defense. Should´ve played Luiz as a CB and Ivan rightback.

It was a very "adventerous" way to start Torres. We looked a bit anxious until he came off. Okay, so this formation doesn´t work, let´s try something out, yeah Carlo ?

As for Liverpool = shit team, hate steven gerrard, hate that the penno for a clear handball wasn´t given. Hate losing to them at home.

But....we´ve got the Champoins League they won´t even qualify for.

[Fulham Broadway 17,313]

True which is why Torres wanted to join a BIG Club

[Jotun 1]

Hi to you all:)

I want to point out that I'm dissapointed for C.Ancelloti, because he was tragic yesterday.. Although, I believe that in our standards, NOBODY can defeat us. Hope there's still time to win the league.

In my opinion Luiz and Torres will help, but I prefer Florent in starting 11 from Didier who has not great form.

[The Big Drog 1,110]

It can only get better but Torres does need time to settle into the Chelsea style of play and strike up a partnership with Drogba and Anelka. I thought we missed Ramires yesterday, I will say it again, with Mikel in holding midfield we miss out on the defensive stability Essien provides and the energy Ramires provides higher up the pitch. Ivanovic looked entirely uncomfortable yesterday and must take a large chunk of the blame for the goal.

However the big positive was David Luiz, made 2 vital blocks, looked quite fast, strong in the air and so composed on the ball, I dont think Im exaggerating when I say he is ready to start against Fulham, he very much looks the part already.

Shows you why the liked him that much ^^

I think he had a decent game until getting subbed. His movement was quite good and he only got one good ball which Carragher blocked.

But for me, this whole Liverpool thing is over, he's our player now and I don't give a flying fuck about what scumpool fans say anymore. We at least have a secured position in Uefa Europa league XD

[Shane 2,275]

Liverpool's gameplan worked like a charm, Contain us and hopefully grab a lucky goal. EVERYTHING they created was through our mistakes. I don't know what happened yesterday, I think both players and us thought "We have Torres, everything will be alright".

Everyone is calm now and I think we can all agree, Drogba can go in the summer. Its fucking Feburary now and he's still playing shite. Put Torres up on his own with Malouda and Anelka/Kalou, then have Ramires, Lampard and either Essien or Mikel, definatley Essien but only when he takes his finger out. Have Luiz in for the time being, Looks like a fantastic buy. I really thought that if Yossi Benayoun wasn't injured, We could have brought him on and he could have made a difference. He could have added that little bit of creativity we needed.

Disapointed in Carlo not to have the balls to take Drogba off, Really hope harsh words were said to DD at training.

Ivanovic and Cech, sort it the fuck out guys, Iva, always listen to your keeper!

[Laylabelle 9,535]

Indeed mate.Luiz did look sharp and positive.Could of started imo,with Ivanovic going to RB.

Quick note.Notice Dalglish hugging Steve Clarke after the game?.

Clarkey's reaction-"OK ok Kenny,calm down","i can't show my enthusiasm too much","remember","i used to play for these lot"!!.

Not to take anything from Kenny yada yada but Stevie sadly working his magic there a bit! Should've come back to us!!!
