Liverpool v Chelsea match thread

Mascherano with a good shot! Cech nearly messed it up.

Good hit by Masch!

We're not trying to walk the ball into the net today - another test from distance from the monster this time.

Who was following that up! That was one-nil us if they followed that shot in!

Thought the same, sloppy from Cech but no-one chasing behind.

Welcome back to life Mascher.

Calm down Masch, don't want another red in an important match.

Masch booked, Riley giving it for a nothing challenge that Mikel made the most of.

Riley's card happy.  : There'll be a red this afternoon I reckon.

Cole in the book now after Kuyt did him.

Cashley booked for pushing Rafa's Dirk's head.

Gillet and Hicks!!! nice to see the bonding going on!

Riley's card happy.  : There'll be a red this afternoon I reckon.

Agreed nothing was in either challenge really but Riley seems like he doesn't want to let this game get to heated.

We need to get Torres on the ball more, Stevie to, just need to have a spell on the ball to settle us.

We have had less possession, but by far the best chances so far.

Just as I say that ^^^ they create a chance! Very well worked.

Nice quick free kick there ...ball wouldnt sit for Stevie to finish though

F**k. Great ball by Fernando but the luck of the bounce wasnt there.

Dirk shows why a different kind of winger would be good for the side.

Alonso looks red hot today, beautiful passing and ball control.

Cech was so lucky that he got that one, I can sense a goal soon.

Chelsea playing with 9 men behind the ball and Anelka about 10-20 yards ahead. Very conservative and there for the taking, we need to get forward in more numbers.

Torres! Nearly!
