Liverpool FC vs Chelsea FC (A) - post-match thread

[Shaggy]

Just wanted to mention Henderson's cameo. It was brilliant, he's a special player who's obviously been struggling with the pressure of expectation in a big club but he came in and really gave us a lift.

great result. great goal. brilliant.

picking it apart luis's effort was superb but his passing was woeful. kuyt was awful. too many players panic but we played through it and won, in the past we would of folded. is the lack of nous up top to do with confidence or thickness? or both?

[Fredo]

For 15/20 mins Chelsea were at us, Mata and Malouda were causing us all sorts of problems. I would never have thought we'd go on and win that match at the time but Kenny made the correct changes as we were losing grip of midfield. Clarke and Kenny need a big big pat on the back after that as we slowly took control of the game and started going at them once again.

Oh stop with your bashing of Kuyt will you, it's relentlessly boring now. Kuyt's very important tactically for us and that's why he's most often than not starting our games.

[BringbackBiscan]

Absolutely buzzing.

We were superb in the first half and fully deserved our lead. Second half when they came back into it was squeaky bum time. Our pressing seemed to drop a level right through the team which is entirely understandable, it's impossible to keep that up for 90 mins.

I must admit I was shouting at the telly to get Johnson off in the second half. He's clearly not match fit yet and the amount of crosses coming in from his side was alarming, but what a goal!

I wonder who that lad that beat two men and put a quality cross in for Kuyt at the end was, he had Henderson on the back of his top but it couldn't have been Jordan, he's a waste of money that offers nothing on the right.

Massive massive win. Buzzing.

Charlie just dedicated the win to little Luca.

[McDermotX]

Nice of Charlie to mention that that was for Brad Jones

[Imy]

It was Chelsea away!! They were always going to have a spell but after they scored we come back and won it.

Yes, but it's happened in almost every game we've played this season.

[destinydude]

Kuyt was alright. No complaints from my side

[Gibbo]

You know Chris is in a good mood when everyone in the match thread has been demoted from vermin to scum.

I'm absolutely made up, it was a case of trying as hard as possible and trying to stay positive, full marks to absolutely everyone stood up to be counted and played brilliantly.

Same team against Man City please. I'm so so happy.

he was **** mate and look back in the match thread and see how many were saying the same. he does a job at times, but i think this season he's form is well below even his normal level and his legs have effectively gone. now stick that up your arse.

[dom9]

we're in 6th, mate.

Joint 4th.

[Bender]

maxi made a huge difference to the side

[Daniel 7]

I left him out of my top three, because the goalscorers and assists kind of catch your eye, but Skrtel had a great game today. He was solid - brilliant game. Well done Martin.
