Liverpool 2-0 Chelsea - Post Match

[johnly]

I like football again!

Great result, great performance.

Kuyt Legend
Lucas - turned it on today, keep it up!
Raul was great and...
Nando you f'n little legend. That second goal was something else.

We pressed well, forced them into errors and bossed them. Top work

Yes, that was Lucas' best game in his Liverpool career. He's had good defensive displays before but that was an excellent all around game, pretty funny timing, a day after I had a rant about him not being good enough.

[badpiggy]

Yes on Lucas. Did everything right today and he ****in knew it judging by the little back-heel he did to Spearing at the end.

I though Mereiles nearly had a great game too. Drifted out of it a bit in the second half though.

Poulsen not starting two weekends running = Major result.

[vonk]

Brilliant, especially first half. It was always going to be a difficult second half but well done to all men in red. An outstanding result. Lucas Leiva take a bow son... man of the match by a mile. I hope that game shows Henry why we absolutely need to keep Torres.

Was worried about Drogba but he did little apart from create the chance for Malouda.

Feeling much more positive now.

[Rigadon]

Fantastic result and thoroughly deserved.

[Nate7]

Best I've seen us play in a while. That's more like it, full credit to Roy and the players, let hope we can play like that more often

[badpiggy]

Plus, as others have said, seeing Terry being totally cunted by Torres is always a sweet, sweet sight.

[Galb]

Great result and some very good performances, especially from Lucas, Reina, Raul and Skrtel.

And Torres obviously.

Shows what he can do when he's given some quick quality service rather than being asked to deal with high hoofballs on his own.

Still very unconvinced by the manager and tactics though. Two outstanding moments from Torres set against 75 odd minutes of sitting deep and hoping for the best does not a top four team make. 69% second half possession for Chelsea at one point? At home?

On another day, we would have paid for that and, over the course of the season, we will.

[paulg]

Get the **** in. That has made my weekend. Now, just need my chav supporting work mate to arrive and I'll be all set.

[Reece]

We're quick to slate Hodgson, but I felt he got it spot on today. Keep it up

Fair point although overall match stats from the beeb show possession 56% - 44% in our favour

I said last week that uncle Roy was slowly turning it round and todays win definitely confirms it. There is still a hell of alot of work to do before I change my opinion of Roy. However, credit where credit is due. My biggest problem again was the lack of pressure in the second half. We're still giving the opposition far too much space and we were fortunate that Chelsea didn't make us pray. We should have pressed them like we did for periods of the first half.

Overal I am delighted with todays result. I would be stupid to completely rule out a top four spot even if I am being a bit optimistic.

Much, much better. Though I was concerned at the start of the second half. First half was outstanding though.
