I wasn't hanging Gerrard for it. Its an obvious moment that stands out. 2 inches to the right and we're all sitting here a lot happier right now.

Ah fair enough, The comment just reminded me of the slip and how it cost us the league nonsense.

In fairness, Mourinhio was fairly respectful in that interview

He was but that comment of "We had plenty of space to counter against 3 defenders" is really really weird because our midfield really squeezed and pressed them on the counter, when they went wide our WB's covered well and they had very little chances on the break, maybe one or two dodgy moments.

Then again, not like Mourinho to bend the truth.

We should send the team to Jamaica for a little break.

I have to say I'm very happy with that . Liverpool were awesome tonignt . Lucas was the best player in red tonight . Any talk of selling or loaning him to Milan needs to stop now .

donfers

Lucas, Henderson and Sterling outstanding tonight

How we didn't win that I don't know? We've had a few games like that this season, absolutely peppering the other teams goal and with their only attempt they score. I wonder in Jose's managerial career has he ever been on the end of a 20 - 2 goal attempts stat. That's how good we were, belief and confidence is returning!

We have to beat Chelsea at Stamford bridge to get to the final, or at the very least get a 2-2 draw. A very difficult task. Really needed that second goal.

Away goals do not count.

Hope it's not a chance missed, Gotta score at least 1 at the bridge

No not if its a 0-0 draw. Someone posted the bizarre league cup rules regarding away goals earlier.

I thought they counted in extra time after two legs are played .

Most important thing for me tonight is that they played with pace tonight that reminded me of last season.
Coming back against the top team in the league is good going.

All to play for next week.

NukaCola

Then again 1-1 and win on peno's is do-able

Was he not just critical about the tackle for the penalty?

I'm so sick of interviewers asking if the rest to Sterling is showing now. As if it's not obvious but how many times must Rodgers say it was for his career, not just a few matches.

dont tell me the league cup means nothing,two full strength teams out there giving everything.. great performance outplaying the best team in the land by a fair margain.. i hate the way chelsea play football though,tactics and playing style,its just rotten.

Players like to win trophies. We saw the same thing three years ago when our semi against City was full bore down to the last few minutes. And finals are always finals.

I understand the way the modern game conditions people to focus on CL qualification and the financial rewards that go with it dwarf what's on offer for the League Cup. But when I read posts that totally discount the cups, the 'I'd rather 3 points in the league at the weekend' type posts I just think the people writing them must never have played sports themselves. You play to win the game - tonight was a fine example of that. Great game of ball.

I really hope we see a cameo from Sturridge against Bolton Wanderererers and then a start for the return leg. Just add pace and Liverpool will be getting back to last season so much else is starting to come good.

Aj jaysus he hasn't played since August and is very injury prone..... Can't see him having a cameo followed by a start at the bridge unless he has turned into superman. Give him a chance! I have a feeling it will be the following weekend before he comes in to contention.

Right game at the bridge finishes as a draw then extra time.

If at the end of extra time it is still a draw and its 0-0 Chelsea go through on away goals, if it's 1-1 it goes to pens and any other score draw Liverpool go through. It's that simple

Agent Coulson

A striker with pace needs to be bought.

Agreed. I don't think there is a team in the world who would play a weakened team in the semi final of a cup.

No he had the gall to say he had a poor game overall. Can't make sense of it tbh.

Botox I'd say........

Augmerson

Obviously disappointed we didn't win the game - Courtois kept them in it - but the performance was brilliant and very happy with that. Real signs of a Liverpool resurgence going on, and with Sturridge to come back in yet.

We should sign Lucas.

Excellent display all round, the speed and movement from last year is starting to show again, oh the have jaws back...

I didn't think he went that far at all, I thought he just referred to Can being beat by cesc too easily and then trying to make up for that by the clumsy tackle on Hazard.

Which I totally agree with.

Charlie19

Moreno had a good game but I hope he learns that the cross isn't always on, I think he could of came infield with the ball, rather than trying a cross that probably wasn't on.

Is that Terry?.... he's probably pregnant now.

Utopia Parkway

Must say I thought Coutinho was brilliant in the 2nd half tonight. Ran Chelsea defence and defensive midfielders a merry dance at times.

I would say that's not how it works but...you know Sterling.

Iused2likebusts

Great performance tonight. Some of the signings are starting to show their potential.
Can has looked very good recently. Moreno offers a great threat with his pace in this system Markovic also is starting to look decent. I thought coutinho was class tonight a joy to watch and I have to eat my words on Lucas he has made a huge difference since coming back into the team. It's such a shame we have had no striker this season a definite opportunity missed with regard to getting top 4.

and ... Coutinho is just coming into some serious form right now. Absolutely brilliant tonight and managed to basically get free on the ball between a bus and a parking lot every time. Best mid on display and really making us tick over. Give him Sturridge in front of him and it can only get better.

The most shocking part of that is that Atkinson didn't help his teammates out by holding Sterling down til the danger had passed.

To think if we got all are targeted signings we would have Willian,Costa and Sanchez in the same team!

I'm hoping Sturridge will be fit for the Bolton game.

Don't think that much of Willian. While he works hard, he's far more likely to shoot high into the crowd than actually score.

Would take Coutinho over him any day. Wouldn't mind having Costa and Sanchez in and around the first team tho..

I can't tell you how delighted I am for Lucas after being once again written off.

What a fúcking man.

Its been quite the road to recovery, but he really looks almost right back to his best.

A player we really need to keep regardless of new recruits, given that he's the only really experienced head there now post-Gerrard, aside from Skrtel.

Agreed, he's in fantastic form. I think a lot of us were worried after he came back from his injury. He was still able to offer something but he lost that mobility and ability to really knock someone off the ball.

Over the last few weeks he seems to be gaining that back and this is easily the best he has been since prior to the injury. Long may it continue! You just have to love that dedication.

That team can win the league next year. Fuvk the fuvk ****.
