Surprised Chelsea aren't more up for it.

Atmosphere definately a bit off.

I reckon Chelsea would be happy enough to go at the break on level terms and then really go for it in the second half when Liverpool may well tire!!

This is just rubbish by Chelsea ... after an amazing performace last week - then this shiit.

kenon

Masch's crossing is fairly crap.

aqua is really impressing me

carrying on from his midweek form

Times like this, we miss Johnson.

It's quite unfathomable how the complete non entity, Lucas, played ahead of Aquilani since he's superior in every single aspect of the game.

Aquilani gives the ball away a lot more than Lucas ever does!! Plus, Lucas is a naturally, attacking midfielder who is playing a defensive role.

Aquiliani is playing that role behind the striker that i think Lucas would be decent at as well. I think calling him a non entity is extremely harsh!!

Because he's trying much more creative balls.

It's harder to give the ball away when your passing the ball to your defence all day :rolleyes:

Good enough start by the pool. Movement very good.

Remember Chelsea Arsenal ?

All Gunners then Chelsea just pounced.

Wouldnt read too much into it.

Lucas didn't make of a case with that last effort

If it was GAA we would have a few points on the board Poor enough so far

mike65

Aquilani just should have shot.

That_Guy

Oh Aquilani. Nice from Maxi.

kenon

Stunning ball from Maxi.

PHB

Liverpool are playing well, let's just hope that their defence can match the good stuff the attack is playing. I'm getting hopeful which is making me very nervous!

Lucas keeps things ticking over. And passing the ball to defense his nonsense. He's a good link up between the back four and the attacking players.!!

the_monkey

are these 2 premier league sides ?

Aqua is trying to do more than tick it over, he's actually trying attacking penitrating balls which will naturally mean they won't come off as often as someone "ticking" over with little 2 yrd passes..

you understand the difference right?

MementoMori

Chelsea making it very difficult for Liverpool to throw this

Would imagine there will be some raised voices in the Chelsea dressing room at half-time

the_monkey

They can't even hold on to the ball !!!!

RUBBISH!!!

kenon

F**k sake.

That_Guy

What a soft goal.

redout

Fcukin typical!

Spiritoftheseventies

Ah for **** sake.

absolutely gifted

ntlbell

huge "mistake"

everdead.ie

Gifted goal for Drogba

Mr.Nice Guy

Oh FFS.

kenon

Stevie G has been doing that for years.

mike65

How on earth did that happen?

murpho999

Ok...who'll be the first Utd supporter to say that was done on purpose?

PHB

Unbelievably, just unbelievable.

That doesn't look good lol !

ilovelamp2000

This is possibly the least angry I've ever been after such a **** up.

monkey9

The irony of gifting them that. Gerrard needs to stop passing the ball back to his keeper, whenever he does it, he never seems to see the forwards. He did against Arsenal as well

the_monkey

BEWARE OF THE DROG!!!

niallk

FIX!

Yakult

what a goal to give away. ffs gerrard.

mike65

An mentioned above Chelsea clearly needed some help.

Spiritoftheseventies

Stevie what where you thinking

KittyeeTrix

Oh my god.......If I didn't know better I'd be heading over to the conspiracy theory forum right about now:eek:

LeeroyJones

Conspiracy Theorists....

Have at it!

Lads, ye could try and make it less obvious. John Higgins would be proud.
