LIVE: Chelsea v Liverpool Match Thread

I guess Rafa counts on Yossi when it gets tight to win the match.

Got a feeling with that lineup, they are going to try to play directly down the middle of our field.   Try to expose Lucas, and since Carra has been worry some as of late.  Having Deco and Ballack out there doesn't worry me for them getting behind Insua/Johnson, but they need to pick their spots right.

Yossi dropped and Lucas in midfield is different than i expected. I had hoped we'd play Stevie alongside Masch and Yossi in the hole but hey, that's why i'm here and Rafa's leading the Reds.

'mon the Reds!

Not going to be easy today, really looking forward to the game, need to get an early goal if we can, that will open it up nicely.

We have enough quality in our team to get a result at the Bridge, let's hope we do and close that gap.

Good luck REDS......Let's stuff em

You mean you expected a team line up with Rafa in charge? The lad goes around reading every predicted line up and says 'F**k it, your all wrong!'

Not sure about Riera. Hoping he doesn't go missing after 5 minutes.

Hope we go at them from the start.  Murder them.  Come on Reds!

Not sure about Riera. Hoping he doesn't go missing after 5 minutes.

I'm worried that Riera likes to cross the ball more than Benayoun and Chelsea have a tall back line that will easily clear the danger.

Benayoun would rape Ivanovic and cut inside and outside.

Hope Riera proves his worth today.

Let's do it, Reds!!!

Riera seems to save it for the bigger occasion though. Clinging on to that thought, anyway :

There's no doubt that his faith in Lucas is unshakable. He must have seen something (in the game against Fiorentina) that i didn't. Chances are Lucas will have a blinder to-day. 

Going to have to defend corners and set pieces today, Reds.   Just don't give up too many of them!!!!

Who is the ref, anyone?

This time, keep an eye on that bloody Ivanovic!

Im more concerned about Ivanovic than any of the others to be honest because we have conceded most of our goals from set pieces and Ivanovic has already shown how good he is in the air with them 2 goals he got against us in Europe.

Need a good showing today lads get about them from the off and lets get 3 points on the board. Come on the reds

F**k sake, why isn't Yossi starting?
Lucas is improving, but we need to be at them from the off, and we need Gerrard controlling that midfield.

Plus Yossi not starting is bad for my fantasy team

Nerves kicking in now!

Come on you Reds, let's get at them from the first whistle and get an early goal.

I'm bricking it now. Argh! Still, must win.

anybody got a link to watch it online  ?

To be fair, at Stamford Bridge, I wouldn't be too disappointed with a draw.

Obviously that's not the right attitude though, win every time.

Only about 5 minutes until kick off now, right I'm going to watch it.

Come on you Reds!

Let's just get stuck into them cockney tw*ts.

Winning the midfield battles is the key to this game.

And I hope Nando's got his shooting boots with him.

Exactly what I'm thinking. Plus we can't afford to start off slowly. Got to test their goal from the off.

bit suprised yossi is on the bench :S at least we have someone reliable to turn to i guess

2-0 the mighty reds

Come on the reds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
