He's been quality the last 3 games.

Stop posting nonsense

He has been quality a lot of games, but is the scape goat for the rest of the team. Gerrard and Torres have been passengers ALL season, have done nothing, have 2 good games and they are best players ever. If we won this game ten nil it would prove very little as all the same issues are there. No doubt they will be back to their worst soon enough and lose to Wigan or Stoke. Great performance first half but a sunny day doesn't..........

By his usual standard, Lucas was very good today.

Lucas played the way he's been playing all season today.

Thought him and Skrtel were the best two players on the pitch.

Quandary

This must be the best Liverpool fans have felt in long time.

Whatever about missing Drogba and Lampard, Chelsea without Essien are no where near as powerful a team and were shown up by a very spirited Liverpool team.

What a difference a few weeks makes - Liverpool up to 9th and top half of the league!

Fair play lads. Great result. Made Chelsea look very very average.

Anyway, I'm off to the pub to get pissed in celebration of the only real result today.

I actually didn't think Liverpool had that performance in them but there ya go.

Chelsea weren't with it in the first half. Liverpool took their chances. Second half Chelsea came back hard but didn't create the quality of chances that Liverpool did in the first.

Never like saying it but Liverpool deserved it today. Well done.

But yeah, defo Torres, Lucas & Gerrard did play well today - and I'd ad Kuyt into that too.

As soon as I saw our starting 11, I had a pretty good feeling about it. Its probably our strongest starting 11, and it showed.

Took a fair bit of balls to go 4-4-2. A bold move that ultimately paid off.

Just got 100/1 on betfair for a 4-0 Chelsea win, its hard to see Woy's boys doing anything against this Chelsea team. If Chelsea get an early goal, i fear for Liverpool and what might happen.

Whats with all the skin-heads at Liverpool?? Today yeh had Reina, Konchesky, Skrtel, Meireles, Shelvy, Spearing and N'Gog..!
Great win though, glad to see Torres on the score sheet again.

Excellent 1st half - far too tentative 2nd, but the result is what matters.

Well played Torres, Lucas and Gerrard especially but the whole team did their part.

Cheese vouchers! What you working at anyway, you end up getting a job in games industry?

baldbear

I'll take my hat off to a player like Lucas, he has a great attitide to be able to turn his game around after all those below par performances!

If you're on boards Lucas, Good mentality kid!(Hope it continues)

That was a stunning all around performance from Lucas! Literally I felt 10 of our players had huge games today and when so many players perform in the one game your always going to compete against anyone. Maxi was the only player I felt a little disappointed with and thought he was poor but they are all hero's today. As a young lad playing in such a big game with little experience Kelly deserves special mention as he was immense.

Super result - happy days - off for a shower;)

Hail 2 Da Thief

Great result! Most enjoyment I've had watching a pool game for quite a while.
Fernando scored two great goals & we've now jumped up to the top half of the table. Happy days!
Chelsea were very below par though. They clearly missed Lampard & particularily Essien in the middle.

herbieflowers

Happy for Hodgson, stitched together a nice run of results. Funny how when the team is playing badly the manager is first to be blamed but when they're playing well...good man Roy!

NukaCola

Woop woop!

tok9

Absolutely delighted with that result. Although sky gave the MOTM to Torres I genuinely think Lucas deserved it.

Anyway credit to Roy too for that result, I haven't been a fan of him since he's arrived but he's got Liverpool playing and winning so if it continues i can't complain.

RasTa

I am a United fan so couldn't care less about pissing away money today. Keep on rubbing it in if it makes you feel better.

huh, he's made some awful mistakes as usual.

but because he usually plays so badly when he has an average game it looks like a great perfomance it just shows how bad he normally he is.

You haven't one iota what you're talking about!!

Good interview there from Roy!!

Thanks Scousers.:)

Super-Rush

Fanfcukingtastic.

Great performance by everyone, especially Roy who kept Poulsen on the bench. Maybe he realises who he's managing. He deserves a chance now after 4 wins on the bounce.

Well that is true. That said, Lampard, Essien and Drogba fully fit, are the heartbeat of Chelsea. Big miss for them today.

United's four best attacking players were also out yesterday as well lets not forget - Rooney, Berba, Valencia, Nani, not to mention 6 others.

Gerty

Sorry can someone tell me who they gave man of the match to?

Berti Vogts

Chelsea are a lot weaker without Essien and Lampard to a lesser extent.

If it wasn't for Ferguson, I'd say United would have no chance. The team they started with yesterday looked very weak and it showed.

Dcully

Lucas was my MOTM without a doubt, he won every tackle and actually out-muscled the chelsea midfield which is full of very strong physical players , fair play to him.
Maybe its no surprise hes playing regularly for Brazil nowadays?hes been very good for us this season,hes no MR Creative but he sure as hell is a cracking ball winner.
Great to see Torres back on form, two great goals.

Reina stood out the most when called upon imo.

When you put it like that, you'll have it wrapped up by March.
