Chelsea vs Liverpool Post Match Thread

Er, don't you think it's far more likely they copied it as precisely as they could in order to wind us up and that they didn't know it was the Shankly Gates? They probably haven't even heard of them.

Neil why do you have to be so mature about it. Let the kids have fun. After all football is all about the kids.

They're too busy giving out about the legendary 'Spackman Entrance'

I still can't get over the fact that the idiots used our banner. You literally can't make it up. Surely it was an undercover LFC fan? Nobody is that stupid to copy it, let alone leave the Shankly gates on it

They probably thought it was a cool looking squiggle pattern

I think the thought is to show that they can buy every player they want, even the Shankly Gates so they just copied the banner to really rub it in that he is now a blue and not a red.

It looks like Anelka, Lampard and Essien need to be replace soon. Also, Mikel is **** and everytime Luiz touched the ball it was horrible. He couldn't even control it and Kuyt gave him a nightmare, but that may have to do with nerves.

I think Essien is still a very good player.

I also thought that Luiz was their biggest threat when he came on, but that is not saying much.

Brilliant result for us yesterday. Great team performance, cant fault any of the lads for the effort they put in.

So we have a Shaun_LFC and a Sean_LFC.

This could get confusing.

Only if you're dyslexic.

Seriously though Rodo & Rudo is far more confusing.

I remember the days of Frodo and Fredo. Not fondly.

my mate turned round to me the day torres left and said that he felt as if he'd been left by his girlfriend for another bloke.

then he said that torres' interview felt as if his girlfriend had gone onto national tv to tell everyone that her new beau has a bigger cock.

the moral of the story is bigger isnt always better.

Just watched game again, completely different experience. Although Chelsea rarely posed a threat, I thought at any minute they could nick the ball off our defenders/midfielders to break and score yesterday. I spent more time watching their players close us down, that I missed most of what we done, and it turns out we were a lot more comfortable than I realized, bar the odd hairy moment.

A couple of times we put ourselves under pressure when passing it short from a goal kick, but that’s where our goal actually started. In essence it was a very good goal, we passed the ball about patiently for 50 seconds and via Pepe, Johnson, Lucas, Kelly, Gerrard, Maxi and 13 passes, we set up Meireles who finished nicely. 50 seconds and 13 passes doesn’t sound much compared to our recent Wolves goal, but it’s still in a completely different stratosphere to what we became accustomed to under Roy.

Don’t have time to fully cover my opinion of Lucas’ performance, but I was well wide off the mark yesterday, he was superb. I initially thought he struggled for the first half, but for the first 30 minutes he was practically flawless, and in hindsight when he did get disposessed by Drogba on 30 he didn’t have much on as two Chelsea players were within ½ a yard of him when he received it. I make a point of trying to remember Lucas’ s mistakes as I know certain elements of our support will always drag them up, a bit like Gary Gillespie who highlighted that Lucas was ‘guilty of being sloppy’ and ‘not been at his best’ after 2 of his 3 mistakes. I clearly remembered every mistake Lucas made when watching the replay today, but what I did miss yesterday was just how composed he actually was on the ball and just how may interceptions and tackles he actually made.

I couldn’t pick a MOTM last night as I thought everyone played well, after watching today, it wasn’t even a contest.
