Liverpool v Chelsea Build Up & Match Thread

[sambirken]

one decision. two points down the drain. thats why chelsea get out of trouble so much, like the man u of old, they dont have to do anything and the ref gives them a point. ****in **** but it doesnt help moaning. 1-1 draw full stop. great stuff from torres and not bad all round

Makes me fell sick to the pit of my stomach that we didn't get all 3 points today just because of some absolutely diabolical refereeing decisions.

I'm gutted we only got a point out of that game.....

Styles is as bent as Rocket

That is just sick

If we play to that standard for the rest of the season then we will challenge. No doubt about it. Best I've seen for a while.

Still, Rob "utter ****" Styles aside, we showed that we're set for a good season.

Even Graham Poll just admitted the penalty was wrong

Exactly, was a great performance by the boys, Chelsea never really looked like scoring we had plenty of chances, you could argue we didn't make enough of them but we probably would have lost that 1-0 last season, so 1-1 is improvement. It's just a pity we played them so early on, Kewell would have torn Essien a new one, not sure Alonso is up for the job at the moment tho, would have brought Mascherano on to let the shackles off Gerrard.

Anyway, lets look forward to next week

We're Liverpool, as usual we need to beat the teams AND the referees. It's always been that way, no-one is going to give us any credit unless we beat them all (or pretend that we are from LOndon).

and the only one of our players deserving of it was Gerrard

Whatever happens, Hacket should make an apology to LFC for that penalty at a press conference.

[Johnny]

The Ref was a disgrace,the next few days will be interesting re:Essiens double booking.

[El Jefecito]

**** Hackett, assuming we don't get stiles for all our games, we'll be too busy celebrating being league champions to be moaning to anyone else.

We WERE that good.
