Liverpool v Chelsea CL (A) match thread

[EST_1892]

Well guys are we all Chelsea fans come what May?

Fook that. Won't even watch it now. The final will be **** on a stick!

[Elrond]

Should have taken Gerrard off ... Piss poor performance from him again ...

[Joe King]

He was one of the best players on the pitch in the first leg.

You couldn't be a bad player against them. They were piss poor.

[Nic83]

I asked what was Rafa's fault in the 2nd goal. I have yet to receive an answer.

You have yet to recieve an answer as it has nothing whatsoever to do with my point.

If you want an answer, he had nothing to do with the second goal. Now why did you ask that again

[Vermilion]

Time to get rid of the donkeys in the summer.

We need ****ing thoroughbreds.

Agree, but can we afford thoroughbreds. Not as we stand.

[The Erectile Banana]

You make no sense. Like Drogba needed motivation.

He took Torres off after the 2nd goal.

I agree with Nic. Rafa's attack on Drogba backfired big time tonight.

He apparently had rafa's picture stuck above his locker in the dressing room.

He was **** at Anfield, a man possessed tonight.

Coincidence?

And if it was aimed at the ref it didn't work either.

Because we lost the game due to that goal.

Not really. Skrtel's injury ****ed us. He has the pace to handle him. An ageing Hyppia hasn't.

I'll be a fan of unexplained earthquakes with enormous gaping chasms in Russian football stadia that are playing host to English football clubs.

can't see the point of his prematch antics in regards to DD. As regards the ref, yes by all mean as it could only benefit us but to give extra motivation to Drogba beggars belief. He was straight over to Benitez to rub it in after his first.

Anyways, positive are that next year if we make a quality signing for kuyt's position, we should give the league a good go with Babel going to be a superstar next year. As long as Rafa doesn't bench them that is.

as is always the case against the big 4, especially in the role he's playing at the moment. Makele, Keane and Vieria have always owned him.

[Kenneth]

Came down to luck again

Nah

[calvoboy]

Good battling performance. They had the better of the first half, we had the better of the second. Same went for extra time too. We just didn't have that bit of luck/composure when it mattered - hyppia's pen decisions at each end, Kuyt's half chance from the free kick etc.

It was always going to be tough to go there and win it, and we came close. Let's hope they go on and smash the mancs in moscow, and that we sign one or two class players in the summer who might turn a few of our draws into wins in the league and close the gap.

[certifiable]

How was he at fault for the 2nd goal then?

Exactly, the game was changed on that peno. No-ones fault but poor control and decision making by Hyppia.

Defence then let us down to let 3rd in while Chelsea were bubbling.

Just one of those things that hinged and changed on peno.

In terms of our semis with Chelsea, 2 outta 3 aint bad.

I ain't crying.
