Liverpool vs Chelsea: Match Thread

[Bender]

His missus has just had a baby mate?

ok thanks .....nice one Johnny Barnes

[Darkon]

very good first half, chelsea created nothing whatsoever and 2 great goals by Torres!!

keep this going and we will be up with the european places at the end of the day

Torres is a legend. We need to do everything to hang onto him. That second goal was pure class. Credit to Lucas too, I've criticised him in the past but he has been outstanding today. Best performance of the season so far that first half. Could be an interesting second half if Drogba comes on.

Kelly has been superb, inevitably Drogba is warming up for second half, bollox!

[Zapater]

Torres, what a player, this is definitely the first time this season we've played good football, there's still massive underlying flaws but for the most part we've been good. Lucas has been superb in midfield as well, Kuyt's return has been a godsend.

The way they haven't allowed Mikel to play has been a huge contributing factor, he's probably missed more passes today than he has the rest of this season combined. And even though Zhirkov is a great player he's been absolutely woeful today, I really think that we can take advantage of them in the second half.

Lastly Konchesky is having the game of his life, yes he did play (well the linesmen didn't see it) Anelka onside to almost cost us at the end of the half, but he'll probably never play this well ever again.

Intrigued/slightly concerned about how we'll approach the second half.

Give us 3 points...

that too

First 20mins will be crucial if we can keep them from scoring

Don't worry he's in my FF team - which means he won't score and will probably get booked.

Big gamble and could just as easily backfire. He's obviously not fit.

Exactly what I screamed out when the 2nd went in

[Kenneth]

shock horror! could it really be that the team has'nt been left in such a horrendous state as some ex players and pundits would have us believe...could it ?

Thanks for first half Rafa
