All very absorbing, but the moment that really caught the attention on Sunday came late in the game, five minutes after Liverpool had silenced Stamford Bridge by taking the lead. Ancelotti responded by making a couple of substitutions, one of them introducing David Luiz in place of José Bosingwa. While David Luiz took up his station alongside Terry in central defence, Branislav Ivanovic moved across to right‑back, clearly with the intention of exploiting his pace and muscularity to make inroads into the left flank of the Liverpool defence. Two minutes later Liverpool withdrew Maxi Rodríguez and introduced Fábio Aurélio, normally a left‑back but now deployed in front of Johnson, where the threat of his own pace and long-range shooting put an immediate restriction on Ivanovic's ambitions.

It was a small enough thing, but it showed that Liverpool's coaches were thinking on their feet and capable of swift adjustment. As the recent pronouncements of Carragher and Steven Gerrard made clear, Dalglish already has an emotional hold on the dressing room. Clarke could be the man to turn them into an interesting football team once again.

Seems like he's doing an excellent job. Hope we don't end up in another Bergues or Pako scenario though.

for a first team coach he seems to be getting quite a bit of media spotlight and praise, maybe thats down to just playing chelsea.

I wonder if he will be promoted to assistant manager in the summer? seems to me that at about 10 years younger than Kenny could be natural progression?

Would love to see a return to the Boot Room. Managers can come and go but the pass and move philosophy remains.
