If we can keep up this momentum then winning the Europa League is not impossible. I personally think that is our best hope of Cl next seaskn

I'm already regretting it. It's unlikely we will win at the Bridge. But I was pleased last night as it gave me confidence for the rest of the season. We'd been beating the lesser sides but we all must of had a thought in the back of our minds that a top side would come and brush us aside. We can now face the rest of the season more positively.Originally posted by tanner View PostForwards.......Comment

very probably true.Originally posted by tanner View Post
we wont have the 12th man [where the **** has he been for a while, eh]...
we might have to take a bit more punishment but we can hit them more on the break.
even if we lose i think the battle might add more aggression to our play and this will serve us well against other opponents.removing all the weak links makes us stronger
too many gutless players, no beef or desire. pussies everywhere... sack them all.Comment

Tough one as when Chelsea came out last night they looked more dangerous, but so did we on the counter. As ever in big games we will need the luck and we will have to take our chances when they come. Look at the United game. We have a great chance to go in front then 20 seconds later we are 1-0 down. Then we had chance after chance and in the end we lose 3-0.Originally posted by baitman View Post
That was our first game in that set up and we did leave gaps at the back. Since then Lucas has come in for Gerrard as well as Migs for Jones and Can for Glen. We look better but CFC are a well drilled side and we'll be up against it.Forwards.......Comment

That would be the most amazing way to make the CL. It certainly seems achievable right now.Originally posted by RedRum View Post"Its not about the long ball or the short ball, its about the right ball." Bob PaisleyComment

On this form we are the best team in that competition. But cup competitions rely heavily on luck so whilst I'd class us as favourites right now, I wouldn't say it's guaranteed.Originally posted by Tee View PostForwards.......Comment

yeah unfortunately we now have to go to the toughest place in the league and get a result. Such a shame we couldn't have those numerous amounts of chances away, we really deserved it but sure stats mean nothing if you don't get the result.

That was one of our best performances this season, we deserved more out of it than we got but their keeper is immense
Will be a tough order to go through now though but that should detract from the overall performance in and out of possession I thought we were good last night

We're certainly still in the tie though
Even though we've only lost 1 of our last 15 games we've drawn 4 out of our last 5 games at Anfield.
The way we're set up means we're better away from home counter attacking teams once their attack has broken down.
One thing's for sure we have to score at the Bridge or we're out with them having an away goal (and realistically we'll need to score first or Chelsea will just smother us and kill the game in that anti-football way they specialise in
).

well I didn`t know that as you think we are in great form which we are like but you assume we have won more than we have especially at homeOriginally posted by ChrisDR1968 View PostWe're certainly still in the tie though

I think that just highlights the fact we need a goalscorer, Sterling has done ok up top but at the moment he really isn't a front man.Comment

****ing wimpy Henderson.
Diego Costa and Jordan Henderson involved in tunnel bust-up after Chelsea draw at Liverpool
Liverpool member of staff was forced to separate the pair, although spat was limited to an angry verbal confrontation and shoving
Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson and the Chelsea striker Diego Costa were involved in a tunnel bust-up following their clubs’ 1-1 draw at Anfield on Tuesday. The pair clashed as the teams left the pitch at full-time, in a row that was brewing during the Capital One Cup semi-final spilling over near the dressing rooms.
A Liverpool member of staff was forced to intervene to separate the pair, although witnesses insist that the spat was limited to an angry verbal confrontation and a bit of shoving. There was no punches thrown during the altercation.
Henderson had clashed with Costa in the second half of the first leg, the Liverpool vice-captain accusing the Brazilian-born Spain international of diving in the penalty area. Costa responded angrily to defend himself and the pair could be seen appearing to arrange a post-match meeting out of public view.
It has since emerged that the two players were true to their word, neither man prepared to give an inch as the teams left the pitch and continued their disagreement.
Costa’s temperamental on-field persona will make it unsurprising he took the gauntlet from a rival, but Henderson – for so long a mild-mannered member of the Liverpool team – is evidently relishing his senior responsibilities since being made Steven Gerrard’s deputy.
The England midfielder is in the process of trying to convince Brendan Rodgers, the Liverpool manager, that he should take the captain’s armband on a permanent basis once Gerrard has left Anfield for Major League Soccer, and this may be seen as sign of his growing leadership qualities.
It all adds to the tension and theatre ahead of the semi-final second leg at Stamford Bridge next Tuesday.
Fixtures between Liverpool and Chelsea have a history of such antagonism, rooted in the epic Champions League struggles when Jose Mourinho first arrived in English football.
There has never been much love lost between the clubs, although the Chelsea manager was in respectful mood to his rivals before and after the game, heaping praise on the Liverpool captain Gerrard and generously applauding the Kop support in his post-match press conference.
Mourinho said that he hoped the Chelsea fans would back their side with the same dynamism as Liverpool’s supporters get behind theirs.
It would seem such goodwill has not extended to both sets of players and – aware of the background – the match officials will now be keeping a watchful eye on any incidents between Henderson and Costa when the clubs meet for the decisive second leg.
Liverpool, meanwhile, face competition from Newcastle United, Arsenal and Chelsea for the Ipswich Town defender Tyrone Mings. Ipswich are desperate to retain Mings, 21, this month as the club look to win promotion to the Premier League.
However, the £10 million-rated Mings is unlikely to be an Ipswich player next season, whichever division the club are playing in, and Liver*pool feel that he could help sort out their defensive problems.Comment
